Yellowstone Season 6: Everything we know

Yellowstone Season 6: Everything we know

If you’re a fan of Yellowstone and its various spin-offs, you likely have a lot of questions, one of which being: will there be a Season 6? As the wait for Season 5 Part 2 continues, here’s what you need to know on whether the Duttons will return for a sixth chapter.
With five seasons and plenty of spin-offs still going strong, it’s clear the fans love Yellowstone. But it’s not been easy following the release of Season 5 Part 1 in November 2022, with delays and cancellation news hitting the Dutton community hard.
The series, created by Sicario scribe Taylor Sheridan and Sons of Anarchy producer John Linson, follows the exploits of the Dutton family as they vie for control of the largest ranch in the United States.

As the wait continues for new episodes, rumors and speculation surrounding a possible Season 6 have been growing in intensity. We’ve broken down what you need to know about the potential for another season of Yellowstone. But first, a warning: Spoilers ahead from Yellowstone Season 5…

Is there a Yellowstone Season 6 release date?


Yellowstone Season 6 doesn’t have a release date, because it’s not happening. The show will end with Season 5, but a new series will premiere at some point soon.

Part 2 of the fifth season is currently underway, but it’s hit a bump in the road as a result of alleged behind-the-scenes drama with Kevin Costner. He’s been working on his four-part Western epic Horizon, which reportedly caused issues with Sheridan. As such, Costner has exited the series, and Yellowstone will close out its final episodes in Part 2.
While Costner’s lawyer denied the allegations, Paramount recently confirmed Season 5 will be the end of the Yellowstone flagship series, while also announcing a new (currently untitled) show.

Rumors started circulating about the possibility of the show ending with Season 5 and Matthew McConaughey becoming the new lead of the franchise in another show. In the time since, there have also been two new Yellowstone spin-offs announced: 1944, and 2024. All this on top of the already in-development spin-off 6666.

In a statement, Chris McCarthy, president & CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said: “Yellowstone has been the cornerstone on which we have launched an entire universe of global hits – from 1883 to Tulsa King, and I am confident our sequel will be another big hit, thanks to the brilliant creative mind of Taylor Sheridan and our incredible casts who bring these shows to life.”

David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, also said: “The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale. We are thrilled to bring this new journey to audiences around the world.”

Yellowstone Season 6 cast: Who is returning?


While Yellowstone Season 6 isn’t happening, several cast members are expected to return for at least one of the new spin-offs — most likely Yellowstone 2024.

Nobody has been confirmed, so Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, and Kelsey Asbille could all reprise their roles (or even come back as new characters) at any point.

Costner’s future on the show was first cast into doubt in an earlier interview with USA Today, where he revealed his perspective on the show: “His heart is at the ranch, not trying to find middle ground with people.

“That’s going to be problematic. He has a lane that he operates in that is not as expansive as some would want it to be. And he won’t change.”

Costner continued: “I was only going to do one season, but I’ve done this many. I give everything I can to what I’m doing.”

As for who could make it out of Yellowstone’s final season alive, right now it’s anyone’s guess — but Wes Bentley predicted a “crazy bloodbath” in the last episodes.

Yellowstone Season 6 plot: What will it be about?

 

It’ll be some time before plot details for the new shows emerge. As for Part 2, it could be a hard time ahead for the Dutton family. Season 5 has already given fans plenty to grieve over, including the unexpected death of Kayce and Monica’s child.
Fans of the show are convinced that another major death is on the cards too, but we’ll have to wait and see how that pans out.

If Yellowstone Season 6 had gone ahead, musician Cory Asbury recently revealed he was set to star in it as a long-lost Dutton brother. Speaking to Taste of Country about his potential involvement in the show, Asbury said: “I was fired up about it and so bummed when it was cancelled. So bummed.”
Is there a Yellowstone Season 6 trailer?
No, there isn’t a trailer. Season 5 Part 2 is due to return in November 2024, so we’ll share footage of the upcoming episodes as soon as it’s shared online.
