Final 'Yellowstone' Season 5 episodes are streaming this weekend, but not on Paramount+ Show Caption Hide Caption 'Yellowstone' finale: What happened with Rip and Beth and what's next? What's next for "Yellowstone"? Here's a recap of the finale and a look back to our chat with Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, plus a potential preview. Season 5 of Paramount's hugely popular series "Yellowstone," which wrapped up in December with a finale that drew 11.4 million viewers will finally be available to stream on Peacock this week. "Yellowstone" chronicles the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in the U.S., led by John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner before his departure before Season 5's Part 2. The series, which has become one of the most popular shows on TV in recent years, follows the family as they battle to maintain the land, "amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-earned respect," according to Paramount. The second half of Season 5 consists of six episodes that follow the Dutton family as they face "new challenges in the aftermath of a tragedy that rocks them to their foundations and creates a dangerous power vacuum in the state of Montana," according to NBC. If you've been planning to binge Season 5 Part 2 of "Yellowstone," here's what to know. 'Landman' strikes Season 2 oil: What's up in the 'Yellowstone' and Sheridan-verse? When will 'Yellowstone' Season 5, Part 2 be available on streaming? The second part of Season 5 will be available to stream exclusively on Peacock beginning Sunday, March 16, NBC announced in a news release last month. However, NBC did not specify what time the series will be available on their streaming service and did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for information. All five seasons of the series will be available to watch on the streaming platform beginning Sunday. Why is 'Yellowstone' on Peacock and not Paramount+? New episodes of "Yellowstone" Season 5 Part 2 initially aired on the Paramount Network on television in late 2024. They were not released on Paramount's streaming service, Paramount+, or on Peacock. Under streaming agreements, "Yellowstone" is available exclusively on Peacock. Paramount previously sold streaming rights to the series, which debuted in 2018, to Peacock, prior to the launch of Paramount+ in 2021. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. 'Yellowstone' Season 5, Part 2 cast Cast members for "Yellowstone" Season 5, Part 2 include: Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton Cole Hauser as Rip Ian Bohen as Ryan Dawn Olivieri as Sarah Atwood Kelsey Asbille as Monica Dutton Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater Jacki Weaver as Caroline Warner 'Yellowstone' cast and characters: Who plays Beth, Rip, Kayce and Wes? See full list 'Yellowstone' Season 5 Part 2 trailer Will there be a 'Yellowstone' Season 6? While the makers managed to tie loose ends in Season 5's finale, which USA TODAY'S Bryan Alexander described as "bloody but happy," the future of "Yellowstone" is still somewhat unknown. Multiple reports have suggested that the series will continue with a Rip and Beth-focused spinoff, though neither creator Taylor Sheridan, nor any of the actors have confirmed whether the series will be returning. Hauser and Reilly (Rip and Beth) had earlier alluded to both scenarios (Season 6 and a spinoff), and director and longtime collaborator Christina Voros, in an interview with USA TODAY after the release of the first episode of Season 5, had claimed she did not know whether "Yellowstone" will end after the second half of Season 5 as originally reported. Sheridan "has made some very strong choices about the 'Yellowstone' world being forever changed in John Dutton's absence," Voros previously told Alexander. "But when you write characters with depth, heart, and complexity, there's always room to wonder what happens next." "These are some of the most popular characters in modern television," she added. Reilly, on the other hand previously told USA TODAY that she has known how "Yellowstone" would end since it started. Costner's premature departure did not fundamentally change that course. "It wasn't supposed to happen so soon," she had said. "But the fact that we got to return poetically to the show's authentic vision is really satisfying." Hauser, who had declined to pinky swear, added: "We don't know, for real. The truth is, there is nothing definitive or set right now. We want everyone to see these last six episodes as their finale. And then, if there is a future, and Taylor writes something inspiring for us, we've both said, 'We're there.'" Where to stream 'Yellowstone' prequels '1923' and '1883'? The prequel spinoff series of "Yellowstone" "1883" and "1923" are available to stream on Paramount+. Season 2 of "1923," featuring the ancestors of the Duttons from "Yellowstone," Cara and Jacob Dutton (played by Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford), premiered on Feb. 23 with new episodes dropping weekly on Sundays.

'Landman' strikes Season 2 oil: What's up in the 'Yellowstone' and Sheridan-verse?
'Landman' strikes Season 2 oil: What's up in the 'Yellowstone' and Sheridan-verse? Show Caption Hide Caption 'Yellowstone' finale: What happened with Rip and Beth and what's next? What's next for "Yellowstone"? Here's a recap of the finale and a look back to our chat with Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, plus a potential preview. 'Yellowstone' what? The TV world is currently gushing over Taylor Sheridan's "Landman" and Billy Bob Thornton's crude oil-industry fixer Tommy Norris. The hit Paramount+ drama series about life in West Texas oilfields that also stars Jon Hamm, Demi Moore and Ali Larter has been renewed for Season 2, Paramount announced Wednesday. Sheridan's "Yellowstone" (minus Kevin Costner's patriarch, John Dutton) may be seeking new life after officially ending in December with Season 5, Part 2 on the Paramount Network. But "Landman" has continued the producer's streak of hits since premiering last November, with what Paramount+ claims is its most-watched global series premiere yet. "Landman" was so spot-on that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' emotional cameo visiting the hospital bed of Hamm's Monty Miller went viral — and was almost powerful enough to erase the memory of his football team's miserable season. Thornton earned a Golden Globe nomination for best actor in a drama series, but lost to Hiroyuki Sanada for FX's "Shōgun". The Season 2 premiere date has not been announced. But here's what's happening on the other Sheridan shows. '1923' continues 'Yellowstone' saga in Season 2 After 2021's "1883" series established the origins of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, "1923" carries the family saga through the Prohibition era. In Season 2, currently underway, Jacob (Harrison Ford) and wife Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) defend the early ranch from the evil land baron Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton), a cynical early ski-resort proponent. Prodigal nephew Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) and his pregnant bride Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) race home to help save the sacred family plot and breed future generations before the April 6 season finale. Next up for 'Yellowstone' world: Michelle Pfeiffer in 'Madison' "The Madison" is the next "Yellowstone" spinoff, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as New York widow Stacy Clyburn, who trades Madison Avenue for the Madison River Valley of central Montana. The exact connection to the Dutton clan is still unclear, except that Clyburn has the family's grit in the series expected in the fall. Jeremy Renner vows 'special' Season 4 of 'Mayor of Kingstown' Just like star Jeremy Renner, beleaguered prison-town fixer Mike McLusky just keeps on rolling in "Mayor of Kingstown." After fending off the Russian mob that tried to muscle in on the action in Kingstown, Michigan, in 2024's Season 3, the perpetually battered McLusky will return for Season 4, Paramount+ announced in December. The gritty series also stars Hugh Dillon, who rocks, literally, as Detective Ian Ferguson. Dillon is the frontman of the rock band Headstones as well as an executive producer and Sheridan's co-creator. Production is underway. Renner posted a moody Instagram photo from train tracks last month, promising that Season 4 "is shaping up to be something special." Stallone won't sing in 'Tulsa King' Season 3 Sylvester Stallone's Dwight "The General" Manfredi is still ruling his growing Oklahoma crime family of adorable misfits in "Tulsa King." However, in November's Season 2 finale, a hooded Manfredi was dragged into a mysterious government office and told, "You work for us, now." Paramount has not officially greenlit Season 3, but Stallone is certain it will happen. Even before President Trump named him a "special ambassador" to Hollywood in January, Stallone, an executive producer, promised a third season and a suitable big-name actor to play his government handler. Don't worry, Manfredi won't sing to authorities about his friends; he's no prairie canary. The government relationship will be beneficial to Manfredi's operation. 'Tulsa King' Season 2 finale Stallone explains who got whacked and which enemies got closer Zoe Saldaña will bring Oscar gold to Season 3 of 'Lioness' Lioness chief Joe (Zoe Saldaña) survived another perilous mission, ending Season 2 last March with a brutal firefight in Iran. There has been no official announcement, but "Lioness" is a slam dunk to return for Season 3. Saldaña told Vanity Fair in November, "I signed up for three seasons at least, and so you do have a sort of contractual obligation to fulfill." Saldaña will be packing gold with her tactical equipment. The actress won best supporting actress Oscar for "Emilia Pérez" at the 97th Academy Awards this month. 'Yellowstone' Season 5 heads to Peacock. When is new show? In the ever-shifting Sheridan-verse, previously announced "Yellowstone" spinoffs like "1944" have moved to the back burner while "2024" looks to become the next version of "Yellowstone." The table is set for the reported new series, centered on Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser), or a sixth season of the original "Yellowstone" without Costner's Dutton (RIP, the finale casket was magnificent). Reilly is ready, Hauser is ripped. But fans are still waiting for the official update. The Season 5 finale (streaming on Peacock starting Sunday) ended with the couple starting fresh on a new ranch about 40 miles from Dillon, Montana. As Rip said to Beth in the closing scene: "Saddle your horse."

Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren bring couple power to '1923' Western without knocking boots
Helen Mirren has love advice for young people that demands to be heeded. And not just because the Dame of the British Empire and acting icon has been married for 28 years to director Taylor Hackford. Long-term relationship success doesn't come from passionate lovemaking, but from enduring emotional support, she says. "The sex and all of that is fabulous; don't get me wrong, it's great," Mirren says. "But it's the partnership that survives. That's one of the most beautiful things in human relationships. And we don't often see that on TV." We do in "1923," the Taylor Sheridan Yellowstone-verse Prohibition Era drama that kicks off Season 2 on Paramount+ Sunday, centered on the rare (for TV) mature relationship. Mirren, 79, stars as Cara Dutton, the 44-year partner of Jacob Dutton, played by Harrison Ford, 82. The 20th-century Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is under siege from a greedy developer (James Bond star Timothy Dalton) and his thugs in the new season. But as the lion-killing nephew (Brandon Sklenar) races home from Kenya to save the day. the story backbone remains Cara and Jacob holding down the fort. "If we're the backbone then I'm the bone, and she's the back," Ford says of his screen partner. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Jokes aside, Ford and Mirren sharing the lead roles in "1923" is gold dust in the Sheridan-verse. Jacob Dutton's great-great nephew, "Yellowstone" patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner), was a widower whose wife died in a tragic horseback accident. Sylvester Stallone's "Tulsa King" and Billy Bob Thornton's "Landman" are both divorcees. The "1923" superstar pairing offers couple chemistry fueled by a personal history that dates back to 1986 when Ford and Mirren worked together on "The Mosquito Coast." "We know each other from 40 years ago," Ford says. "We haven't been in touch that much over the years, but there's an incredible natural fit when I'm working with her." Mirren compares the relationship with Ford, who has been married to "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart since 2010, to meeting up with a friend "you loved in college, but you haven't seen for years. When you're back together, there's that friendship immediately." Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer bring the couple heat to '1923' For feverish passion, "1923" highlights Sklenar's Spencer and his new bride, English socialite Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer). The passionate duo is still traveling from Kenya to Montana to save the besieged Dutton family, but the first season's most notable period of youthful heat stemmed from their Season 1 vacation on Zanzibar's white sands beaches. "It's different flavors. To see young people in love, we see that so often," says Sklenar, who starred in 2024's "It Ends With Us" (a film overshadowed by a protracted legal battle between co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni). "To see older people just crazy about each other is so sweet and so pure. We don't see a lot of that on TV." While the senior Dutton's relationship is relatively chaste, Ford jokingly insists Jacob has a yet-unseen "sex scene on the beach. I still have sand on my ass." He then relents, admitting he brings "the wisdom and the charm and the sagacity" to the frozen Montana winter setting. Mirren and Ford began filming Season 2 last summer when both quietly celebrated birthdays (Ford on July 13, Mirren on July 26). "We're not into big birthday celebrations," Mirren says. But each showed they can still bring the action depicting the growing battle against Whitfield, whose twisted sexual deviance serves as a stark contrast to the wholesome Duttons. Ford pulls off the cowboy fighting antics while growling even tougher threats of harm in the icon's trademark ornery voice. His "1923" co-stars say that Ford, who owns an 800-acre Wyoming ranch, enthusiastically leads the horseback charge during midnight cattle-herding scenes. "Cowboys don't talk too much about horses," he says, shrugging off the compliments. "I've been riding for so many years, it's not a big deal. It may be exciting now, but it was a fact of life then." Mirren was pulled straight into the action on her first day of Season 1, shooting a scene in which Cara provides emergency gunshot care to Jacob on the Dutton Ranch dining-room table. "I had been shot nine times, so I was a bleeding piece of meat in that scene," Ford says. "That was all Helen." There's no emotion as Cara barked out urgent orders to save her husband. "Cara goes immediately into practical mode: 'Get him there, clear that, do this.' There wasn't time for emotional stuff," Mirren says. "Reading the diaries of people in that era, death is on every page. Blood and death was absolutely an everyday part of their lives." Mirren retrained on gun safety, as Cara is increasingly required to brandish her shotgun in the new season. "It's my sort of secret addiction, even if you realize how very dangerous guns are," she says. In Episode 1, Cara takes out an attacking mountain lion. Ford feigns reluctance about giving the hero moment to his screen wife. "I will personally take credit for killing the mountain lion; that was me," he says. "Although it's reasonable to give Helen credit for almost everything because she plays such a strong character."
