UPDATED: Ratings update from the ranch: Live+3 results reveal that the Season 5B Yellowstone finale, with 13.1 million total viewers, was the most-watched episode in the series’ history.
It was also was the most-watched season in series history with 13.6 million average viewers. It was up 3% versus Season 5A, which averaged 13.2 million.
PREVOIUSLY, December 16: Yellowstone wrestled quite an audience for what is likely the conclusion of Taylor Sheridan‘s flagship series.
The Season 5B finale delivered 11.4 million viewers, the largest in series history, on Sunday night across Paramount Network and CMT. This data is courtesy of VideoAmp, since Paramount is still locked in a contract dispute with Nielsen.
According to Paramount Global, that’s up 4% from the Season 5A finale, which lassoed 10.3M Live + Same Day viewers.

This is the most bare-bones data that Paramount has released for Season 5B. The company previously revealed a behemoth Live+SD audience across CBS and eight cable networks for the premiere, but the finale viewership gives a better indication of just how big the weekly audience for the series was since the rest of the episodes only aired on two networks.
The only other data Paramount has given for Season 5B is three-day viewership for the fourth episode, which tallied a record 12.1M in that time frame. It will be interesting to see if the company reveals any further delayed-viewing audience data for the finale.
Paramount Global also says this is the “most social” season of Yellowstone, up 103% in views and 68% in engagement.
From MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, Yellowstone is co-created by Sheridan and John Linson. Executive producers include John Linson, Art Linson, Sheridan, Kevin Costner, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, Stephen Kay, Michael Friedman, Christina Voros and Keith Cox.
While Yellowstone might be done for good, Sheridan is still dominating Paramount’s airwaves with a slew of other shows.
