It’s no secret that Yellowstone fans are getting impatient about the release of season 4. After all, they’re used to new episodes of the Paramount Network drama dropping right around Father’s Day each year and continuing until the end of August. But given that Father’s Day is literally today and no trailers have been released or announcements made about the return of the Duttons, fans are confused and a bit peeved at the moment.
Understanding the frustration, Yellowstone actor Jefferson White, who plays Jimmy Hurdstrom in the show, tried to comfort fans with a message on Instagram. Commenting on a photo of his character, which was posted by Yellowstone’s official Instagram page on Tuesday, Jefferson said, “Appreciate y’all!! Season 4 is worth the wait, I promise!!”
While some fans liked Jefferson’s comment, many continued to press the actor to spill more details on season 4’s release date. “But when will we know ??? this waiting is torture 😣,” one fan complained to the actor. “I understand that it won’t be out till fall. Could you confirm? Thank you,” another asked, referring to one of many online rumors surfacing about season 4.
Right now, Paramount is not sharing any further details about season 4 of Yellowstone, so it’s hard to say for sure what’s going on. That said, there are plenty of internet rumors surfacing, including one that theorizes Paramount might be waiting to start airing new Yellowstone episodes until after the Tokyo Summer Olympics, which go from July 23 to August 8. On the other hand, some have claimed that the season 4 delay is due to producers wanting to reshoot a few scenes. In fact, Outsider.com reports that the show has recently put out casting calls for extras, indicating that season 4 might not yet be finished shooting.
Whatever the reason is, we’re hoping to get some concrete answers soon. Even if the show won’t be returning until the fall, having a rough idea of when we can expect the Duttons to come back is better than nothing. But until we hear something, we’ll continue to play the not-so-fun waiting game together!
