Is Yellowstone on Paramount Plus or Peacock? A Guide to Watching the Final Episodes
The beloved modern Western drama Yellowstone recently concluded its fifth season, leaving fans eager to catch up on the bombshell mid-season premiere and six new episodes. However, streaming Yellowstone can be confusing due to its availability across different platforms, particularly Paramount Plus and Peacock. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate where to watch Yellowstone, including its final episodes.
Where Can You Watch Yellowstone?
The short answer is that Yellowstone isn’t available on either Paramount Plus or Peacock for streaming its new episodes in the United States. Here’s a breakdown of where the series is currently available:
Yellowstone Seasons 1–4 and the first half of Season 5 are available on-demand.
The final six episodes of Season 5 (Part 2) are not yet available on Peacock.
Paramount Plus:
Yellowstone isn’t available in the U.S. because it airs on the Paramount Network, a separate entity.
However, Yellowstone prequels like 1883 and 1923, and other Taylor Sheridan projects (Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, etc.), stream on Paramount Plus.
Yellowstone is available on Paramount Plus in Canada and the UK.
Cable or Live TV Streaming Services:
The newest episodes of Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2, are available through cable subscriptions or live TV streaming platforms like Philo, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo.
Why Is Yellowstone Not on Paramount Plus in the USA?
The confusion arises from the distinction between the Paramount Network (where Yellowstone airs) and Paramount Plus (a streaming service). While Paramount Network airs the show, the on-demand streaming rights in the U.S. were sold to Peacock, which holds prior seasons but delays releasing new episodes until after they air on cable.
When Will the New Episodes Arrive on Peacock?
Peacock has not announced an exact release date for the final six episodes of Season 5. Based on previous patterns:
The first half of Season 5 aired from November 2022 to January 2023, but those episodes didn’t arrive on Peacock until May 2023.
Similarly, it may take several months for the final episodes of Season 5, Part 2, to stream on Peacock.
