Last week’s Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 premiere revealed the fate of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, who was written out of the show following a not-so-amicable split between Costner and Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan. The latest episode premieres on Nov. 17 on the Paramount Network (not to be confused with Paramount+).
At A Glance: How To Watch Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
- Streaming: Philo, Sling, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV
- Channels: Paramount Network
- Release Date, Time: Sunday, Nov. 17 at 8 ET/7CT on Paramount Network
Nov. 17 also marks the premiere of yet another Taylor Sheridan show. Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton, will air on the Paramount Network immediately after Yellowstone. Unlike Yellowstone, Landman will be available to stream on Paramount+. Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923 are available to stream on Paramount+. Other shows created by Taylor Sheridan that are streaming on Paramount+ include Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, and Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner.
How To Watch Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
Despite being a Paramount production, Yellowstone is not available to watch on Paramount+. Instead, the show airs on Paramount Network, a basic cable channel that is distinct from Paramount+.
That means the best way to watch Yellowstone when it airs is with a live-streaming service that carries Paramount Network, such as Philo, DirecTV Stream, Sling, or Hulu + Live TV. At $28/mo, Philo is one of the most affordable options and includes Paramount Network, (though you won’t find local channels).
Another affordable option is Sling, which starts at $40/mo. To watch Paramount Network, you’ll want the $6/mo Entertainment Extra package. However, Sling does not offer a free trial. Other live streaming services, such as Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream start at around $80/mo but have more channels.
When Will Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Air?
The show is premiering on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network. The show is also airing on CBS, though it will not be simulcast. Instead, it will air two hours later at 10 p.m. ET/PT. If you’re willing to wait and don’t want to sign up for a live streaming service, you can watch CBS with an HD antenna, such as this one.
How To Watch Yellowstone Spinoffs
Yellowstone’s runaway success has led to multiple spinoffs, including 1883 starring Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Sam Elliott, and 1923 starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Other spinoffs in the works include 6666, 1944, and The Madison.
Unlike Yellowstone, 1923 and 1883 are available to stream on Paramount+. Paramount+ is available with Showtime for $12.99/mo or as a standalone package for $7.99/mo, and a free trial is available.
Where To Stream Yellowstone
Every previous season of Yellowstone is on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.
It may seem confusing that a show from the parent company of CBS would be available on rival NBC’s streaming service, but Peacock secured the streaming rights to Yellowstone before the creation of Paramount+. Unsurprisingly, Peacock has held on tight to Yellowstone given its success.
Every season of the show, including Season 5, Part 1 is available to stream on Peacock. However, episodes typically don’t hit the streamer until months later, and that’ll be the case with Season 5, Part 2, as well. Peacock plans start at $7.99/mo.
For fans looking for a quick refresher on the show, Yellowstone’s YouTube page dropped a handy Season 5, Part 1 recap, which you can check out below. Yellowstone’s costume designer also recently partnered with western-wear boot brand Ariat on a collection inspired by the show.
