Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser in Yellowstone season 5, with talks of a potential season 6.
As fans eagerly await the second half of Yellowstone’s fifth season, which will air this November on Paramount Network, new reports suggest that the saga might not be over just yet.
According to sources like Deadline and Puck, discussions are underway for a potential sixth season of the hit modern-day Western series.
This news comes nearly four months after it was initially announced that Yellowstone would conclude with the latter half of its fifth season.
With Kevin Costner confirming his departure in June, it is reported that Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) and Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) are in negotiations to lead the new season. The potential return of Yellowstone, created by Taylor Sheridan, could see these fan-favorite characters continuing the legacy of the Dutton family.
Paramount representatives have not yet commented on these developments.
The Legacy of Yellowstone
Since its premiere on Paramount Network in 2018, Yellowstone has captivated audiences with the story of the Dutton family, who have maintained America’s largest ranch for six generations.
The series delves into the challenges they face from local enemies and the internal struggles within the family.
The news of a potential sixth season comes shortly after Paramount confirmed another addition to the Yellowstone universe: The Madison.
This new spinoff, starring Matthew Fox and Michelle Pfeiffer, will explore the lives of a New York City family residing in Montana’s Madison River valley. Described as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection,” The Madison marks the seventh spinoff from the original Yellowstone series.
Expanding the Yellowstone Universe
Yellowstone has already expanded its universe with several spinoffs, including:
- 1883: A prequel series featuring Faith Hill and Tim McGraw as 19th-century ancestors of the Dutton family.
- 1923: Another prequel starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, chronicling the Dutton family’s journey to Montana.
- Lawmen: Bass Reeves: A limited series tied to 1883, starring David Oyelowo as the iconic lawman.
- 6666 (“Four Sixes”): A Matthew McConaughey-led spinoff, confirmed to be in development.
- 1944: Another prequel series in the works, set to explore the Dutton family’s history during that era.
Episodes of 1883 and 1923 can be streamed on Paramount+, while Yellowstone is available on Peacock.
