The future of Yellowstone was uncertain after Kevin Costner confirmed that he would not be returning as the show began in the way that many fans wanted.

According to Pick News, Yellowstone will continue with Season 6 and will focus on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, a romantic couple who now live on a farm with their father after marriage.

The two were reportedly expected to return for the Michelle Pfeiffer-led spin-off of The Medicine.

The news that Yellowstone will end with season 5 comes as a surprise after Paramount announced in May 2023 that the flagship show would continue.

Yellowstone tracked down the Dutton family, a family of ranchers who have tended their family farm for generations.

John Dutton is the head of the latest family struggling to run the farm and protect the land from modern capitalist forces.

That threat now comes to a head in Season 5 Part 1, set to air on the Paramount Network in 2022, as John and daughter Beth prepare to face off against son Jamie.

Beth intensified her efforts to remove John from the governorship, which Beth called a declaration of war. Now this war will be fought without life.
