Saddle Up for Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2: Release Date and Storyline Predictions

‘Yellowstone’ Fans, Get Ready to Saddle Up for Part 2

The first half of ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 aired its midseason finale on New Year’s Day, leaving fans with a major cliffhanger as John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was sworn in as Governor of Montana. As viewers anxiously await the next episodes, speculation is swirling over when Part 2 will premiere and what twists and turns may lie ahead.

Potential Release Date for Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2

Paramount Network has not yet announced an official return date for the back half of Season 5. However, if it follows a similar schedule to last year, new episodes could drop in Summer 2023.

The network split Season 4 into two sections as well, with Part 1 airing in fall 2021 and Part 2 arriving in early March 2022. Fans may have to wait a few months to see the resolution after that shocking attack on the Duttons. But the show is sure to come back with a vengeance.

What Might Happen Next for the Dutton Family?

The first half of Season 5 dealt with John Dutton adjusting to his new role as Governor while also battling continued threats to his family and Yellowstone Ranch. The attacks that closed out the midseason finale proved his enemies are still conspiring to take him down.

Part 2 will likely explore who is behind this latest attack and why they are targeting the Duttons once again. John will also have to balance his duties as Governor with protecting his land and legacy.

Meanwhile, his daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) seemed poised to cause more chaos with Market Equities as she took aim at CEO Caroline Warner (Jacki Weaver). And the romantic future of Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth remains unclear amid hints of trouble in paradise.

So saddle up, ‘Yellowstone’ devotees. If the thrilling drama of Season 5 so far is any indication, fans are in for a wild ride when the show gallops back onto screens. The Duttons live to fight another day.
