Yellowstone is a neo-Western television series that premiered on June 20, 2018, created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson. The series follows the Duttons, a ranching family in Montana who will do everything to protect their family and their ranch. The show became one of the biggest cowboy shows on television, with two of the episodes from Yellowstone Season 4 reaching the Top 100 most-watched US TV shows in 2021. Though the season didn’t receive any nomination in the 2022 Emmy’s, the latest season of Yellowstone is deep in production and will hit our screens by late 2022. Here is everything we know about Yellowstone Season 5.
Yellowstone Season 5 Date: When will the Series Come Out?
Yellowstone Season 5 will premiere on November 13, 2022, a Sunday. Paramount Network announced the series’ release date on May 18 through an Instagram post. They also announced that season 5 will be released in two installments. The announcement came a few days after the production of the series began, as Yellowstone executive producer David Glasser said in an interview back in January. Season 5 will also have 14 episodes instead of 10 like the earlier seasons.
Yellowstone Season 5 Cast: Who are the Actors Included in the Series?
The Dutton family will return for the fifth season of Yellowstone. The main cast of the series sat down for an interview on June 21.
Kevin Costner as John Dutton
Kevin Costner will return as John Dutton, the family’s patriarch who only has one goal in mind – to protect his family and his family’s land no matter what it takes. On July 26, the official Yellowstone YouTube channel released a short video outlining the reasons why we all love John Dutton. In an interview with Variety, Costner talked about the steps that John Dutton would have to take to protect his family and their land. Costner seems to be teasing fans into sharing their hopes and conspiracies in his Instagram post about Yellowstone Season 5. In one of his recent interviews, the interviewer asked Costner if he thought his character would die in the upcoming season. Costner responded by saying he didn’t want his character to die. He also talked about not really knowing what happens next and how he thinks they were making things up even if they say they know.
Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
John Dutton’s daughter, Beth, will still be played by Kelly Reilly (from Calvary and Sherlock Holmes). Beth is the brains behind the family business, and the one everyone knows you shouldn’t mess with. The only one who can render her speechless is her father. The only one who holds Beth’s heart is Rip, who can be as honest to her as she is to him. Kelly Reilly recently posted a serene photo of Montana on her Instagram page with the caption, “Beautiful goodbye in the forest on my last day in Montana this year , see you later friends x.” This stirred up rumors that season 5 will be the last for Yellowstone and that Beth may be dying this season.
Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton
Kayce Dutton, the youngest in the family, is played by Luke Grimes from American Sniper and Fifty Shades of Gray. Kayce has faced many trials, and he is doing his best to keep his family safe.
Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton
The last member of the Dutton family is Jamie Dutton, played by Wes Bentley from Interstellar. In an Instagram post, we see Jamie facing off with Beth (or at least, try to).
The Rest of the Dutton Clan
The other members of the family include Beth’s husband, Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser from Olympus has Fallen, Kayce’s wife Monica, played by Kelsey Asbille, and Kayce’s son Tate, played by Brecken Merrill.

Yellowstone Season 4 spoilers ahead
The season begins with John Dutton coming up from a coma in the hospital after Beth, Kayce, and John were all attacked. The rest of the family is still alive but battling in various ways. Beth fights to protect the ranch from the company that plans to build an airport on the land, Kayce fights to help his family overcome trauma, and John puts aside differences with an enemy for a common goal. Beth keeps her enemies close by working for Market Equity, the company trying to gain ownership of their ranch. She is eventually found out by Caroline Wagner but not before she manages to disrupt some of Market Equity’s plans. She even uses an environmentalist who fell in love with her father to stage a protest on Market Equity’s building site that drew national attention. John Dutton keeps the peace with Thomas Rainwater as they work together to find out who ordered the attempt to kill the Dutton family. They learn that an inmate organized the attempt, so John asks Kayce to send Jamie for more information about the inmate. Jamie finds the inmate and discovers that one of the inmate’s former cellmates, Garret Randle, is his real father. Meanwhile, Kayce participates in a Native American ritual that shows him a powerful vision, in which he claims to see the end of them all.
