'Yellowstone' S05 Part 2: Release date, how to watch, more
The much-awaited return of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone is finally happening on November 10 after a nearly two-year-long hiatus. The remaining episodes of Season 5 will conclude the Dutton family saga; however, Kevin Costner has confirmed that his character, John Dutton, will not appear in the series' final episodes. Despite his absence, the show's trailer, released on Tuesday, included foreboding words from Costner's character: "This war is just beginning."
'Yellowstone' S05 Part 2 will feature these characters
Despite Costner's absence, fans can still look forward to the return of familiar characters like Beth and Jamie Dutton, and Rip Wheeler. The cast for the second half of Season 5 includes Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Finn Little, and Gil Birmingham. Other returning actors are Josh Lucas (as young John Dutton), Jacki Weaver, Mo Brings Plenty, and Wendy Moniz.
What does the trailer reveal?
The one-minute and 24-second teaser showcases a whirlwind of events. Rip (Hauser) is fiercely determined to protect the Dutton ranch, even if it means sacrificing his own life—though fans hope he won't, as his character is essential for the continuation of Yellowstone. Meanwhile, Beth (Reilly) is feeling the strain of her relentless battle to preserve the family legacy, but her fighting spirit remains intact, as seen when she throws Sarah (Olivieri) into a table later in the footage.
