Has Yellowstone been canceled? After months of turmoil with reports of Kevin Costner being unsettled by the production schedule, and the various industry strikes impacting productions, fans may still need to know if Yellowstone is coming to an end.
Yellowstone has been heralded as one of the best TV series of recent years, and has seen the Yellowstone cast expand through various new Yellowstone series, spin-offs, and prequels. These days, the Yellowstone timeline is more complicated than you’d think. But is that all about to change?
There’s a lot to consider here, and we have the answers for you. So hold your horses and get ready for the facts, because here we explain if Yellowstone is canceled.
Has Yellowstone been canceled?
The news was confirmed on Friday, May 5, 2023, that Yellowstone is officially set to come to an end with the upcoming season 5 finale to mark the end of the show.
There will be no Yellowstone season 6, as Kevin Costner is set to depart one of the best drama series around. We can’t lie — this came as something of a shock. With the Duttons having fought and bled to uphold the Dutton legacy, it’s a surprise to hear that the Yellowstone series will come to the end of its time sooner than expected.
When Yellowstone season 5 part 2 will be released is the next big question, and it’s not even entirely certain that Costner will be back as John Dutton for the remaining Yellowstone episodes, with reports suggesting the Western series star is still in dispute with creator Taylor Sheridan regarding production schedules. (Of course, a lot of this has to do with Costner’s Horizon release date.)
