With Yellowstone planning to air on CBS from the very beginning this upcoming Sunday, you might be craving a refresher on what's gone down with the Dutton family out west. The show's seemingly indefinite hiatus also means our collective Yellowstone memories may not be staying as sharp as they should. If you recall, the final season of the Paramount Network's sweeping western drama was ramping up this past January. The Dutton family was planning to potentially kill each other, Jamie had been turned evil once again, and John Dutton was preparing to (possibly!) never return.
If you're more inclined to read a recap than sit through however many hours of TV again, fear not, we got you covered. Paramount's hopeful plan is to bring Kevin Costner back to finish Season Five, before (likely) transitioning to a sequel series with Matthew McConaughey. If you're looking for a way to fill the rest of your year until then, there's still plenty of Yellowstone content waiting for you. You just need to know where to find it. That's where we come in.
Where Can I Get Caught Up on Yellowstone?
Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, CBS will air Yellowstone—starting with Season One, Episode One—on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT starting on September 17. It's a great way to catch up if you're new to the series.
Oddly enough, you can stream only the first four episodes of Yellowstone on the Paramount Network website by logging in with your cable or streaming provider. The rest of the series is not available on Paramount+ due to confusing licensing decisions. So, if you want to catch up, there's only one place to do it: Peacock. The first half of Season Five—which consists of eight episodes—was added to the streamer just last month.
When Is Yellowstone Season Five, Part Two Airing?
It's anyone's guess—as long as anyone is named Kevin Costner—but the second half of Season Five was originally going to air this November. With the additional WGA and SAG strikes in effect, I can imagine that Season 5B debuting in 2023 at all is a lofty goal.
How Can I Watch the 1883 and 1923 Spinoffs?
Now, here we go. If you're thinking, "So why the hell did I sign up for Paramount+?" Well, this is why. All 11 episodes of the spinoff series 1883 (which is actually a prequel) have been available to stream on Paramount+, including a 41-minute behind-the-scenes documentary titled 1883: The Road West. The series stars Sam Elliott and Tim McGraw as Dutton's ancestors. Luckily, for those not subscribed to Paramount+ when the series debuted last year? The Paramount Network aired the series weekly every Sunday this past summer.
There's also talk of an upcoming series called Bass Reeves planned for future release. It's not set in the Yellowstone universe anymore, but it'll star David Oyelowo and focus on a famous Black lawman from the 1880s.
The first season of 1923—a sequel to the prequel—is also available. Starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and Brandon Sklenar, the follow-up series explores the Duttons as they engage in another land war of their own in Montana following World War I. Creator Taylor Sheridan announced that 1923 would span two seasons of eight episodes each and that it may be followed by even more Yellowstone content set in the 1940s and 1960s as well. So, if you though you could cancel your Paramount+ subscription and just watch 1883 live on air, think again.
What About the 6666 Spinoff?
Yes, believe it or not, there's a third spinoff for Yellowstone in development. Titled 6666, the series will focus on the rival Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, and feature fan-favorite cowboy Jimmy. As much as it sounds like the Duttons would be flying around in hovercrafts in the year 6666, the confusing numbering trend will sadly not send the Dutton ranch over 4,000 years into the future. Though there hasn't been any release date announced, 6666 will presumably also air on Paramount+.
