‘Yellowstone’s’ final Season 5 episodes get long-awaited premiere date

The end is near for “Yellowstone.”

Paramount announced in a press release Thursday when the final episodes of the Western series will finally premiere.

The second half of Season 5 will kick off on Sunday, November 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Production started on the remainder of the show’s final season on May 20 in Montana.

The first half of “Yellowstone” Season 5 finished in January 2023, and then the show went on a long production hiatus due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes — as well as behind-the-scenes drama and feud allegations involving star Kevin Costner, who plays rancher John Dutton.

In May 2023, news broke that Costner, 69, would not return to “Yellowstone” after Season 5. Later that month, it was announced that Season 5 would be the last, leading to speculation that the show was ending in part because Costner was leaving.

There were also reports that Costner refused to be on set filming for more than one week for the second half of Season 5, which Costner’s attorney denied.

Costner has addressed his future on the show recently while doing press for his new Western movie “Horizon: An American Saga.”

He told “CBS Sunday Morning” that “if I like the story, where it was going, I’d go back.”

In an interview with PEOPLE, Costner said that he’s open to returning.

“I’ve always felt that … It might be an interesting moment to come back and finish the mythology of this modern-day family,” he said. “And if that happens, I would step into it if I agreed with how it was being done.”

The “Field of Dreams” star said that he was “disappointed” over the rumors about his exit from the show and how creator Taylor Sheridan and the producers handled it.

“I read all the stories. I was disappointed that nobody on their side … ever stepped up to defend what it was I actually did for them,” he explained. “There came a moment where I thought, ‘Wow, when is somebody going to say something about what I have done versus what I haven’t done?’”
