“‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 Part 2 Trailer Highlights Kevin Costner, Keeps Series Future Under Wraps”
The popular Taylor Sheridan series makes its highly anticipated return to Paramount Network on November 10 with Season 5 Part 2, following a long hiatus since the last episode aired in January 2022. A brand-new trailer is now available for viewers.
One standout aspect of the trailer is Kevin Costner’s appearance, despite his well-publicized behind-the-scenes struggles with Sheridan that reportedly led to his departure from the series. At one point, it was rumored that Costner, busy with his ambitious “Horizon” film project, only wanted to film for 10 days during the second half of the season. This raises questions about whether the footage in the trailer was shot during the first half of Season 5.
Interestingly, the trailer does not mention that these six episodes could be the final installments of “Yellowstone.” Costner’s exit prompted a creative shift that involved transitioning from “Yellowstone” to new projects featuring some of the original cast. Initially, a new series titled “The Madison,” starring Matthew McConaughey, was proposed, but it is now being rebranded as a spinoff. There’s also a potential new series in the works featuring characters Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth (Kelly Reilly).
Given the absence of any mention of a series finale in the trailer, it leaves fans speculating about the future of “Yellowstone” and Paramount Network. For now, viewers can enjoy the new trailer and look for clues as to what lies ahead.
“Yellowstone” returns for the final six episodes of Season 5 (and likely the series) on November 10 on Paramount Network, with the premiere episode also simulcasting on CBS.
