Final ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 episodes are streaming this weekend, but not on Paramount+

Season 5 of Paramount’s hugely popular series “Yellowstone,” which wrapped up in December with a finale that drew 11.4 million viewers will finally be available to stream on Peacock this week.

“Yellowstone” chronicles the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in the U.S., led by John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner before his departure before Season 5’s Part 2. The series, which has become one of the most popular shows on TV in recent years, follows the family as they battle to maintain the land, “amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-earned respect,” according to Paramount.

The second half of Season 5 consists of six episodes that follow the Dutton family as they face “new challenges in the aftermath of a tragedy that rocks them to their foundations and creates a dangerous power vacuum in the state of Montana,” according to NBC.

If you’ve been planning to binge Season 5 Part 2 of “Yellowstone,” here’s what to know.

When will ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5, Part 2 be available on streaming?

The second part of Season 5 will be available to stream exclusively on Peacock beginning Sunday, March 16, NBC announced in a news release last month. However, NBC did not specify what time the series will be available on their streaming service and did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for information.

All five seasons of the series will be available to watch on the streaming platform beginning Sunday.

Why is ‘Yellowstone’ on Peacock and not Paramount+?

New episodes of “Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2 initially aired on the Paramount Network on television in late 2024. They were not released on Paramount’s streaming service, Paramount+, or on Peacock.

Under streaming agreements, “Yellowstone” is available exclusively on Peacock. Paramount previously sold streaming rights to the series, which debuted in 2018, to Peacock, prior to the launch of Paramount+ in 2021.

Will there be a ‘Yellowstone’ Season 6?

While the makers managed to tie loose ends in Season 5’s finale, which USA TODAY’S Bryan Alexander described as “bloody but happy,” the future of “Yellowstone” is still somewhat unknown. Multiple reports have suggested that the series will continue with a Rip and Beth-focused spinoff, though neither creator Taylor Sheridan, nor any of the actors have confirmed whether the series will be returning.

Hauser and Reilly (Rip and Beth) had earlier alluded to both scenarios (Season 6 and a spinoff), and director and longtime collaborator Christina Voros, in an interview with USA TODAY after the release of the first episode of Season 5, had claimed she did not know whether “Yellowstone” will end after the second half of Season 5 as originally reported.

Sheridan “has made some very strong choices about the ‘Yellowstone’ world being forever changed in John Dutton’s absence,” Voros previously told Alexander. “But when you write characters with depth, heart, and complexity, there’s always room to wonder what happens next.”

“These are some of the most popular characters in modern television,” she added.
