The sun may not be setting on Yellowstone after all. After months of the assumption that the remaining episodes of Yellowstone season 5 (set to premiere on November 10) would be the final ones in Taylor Sheridan's flagship neo-western, a new report indicates that a Yellowstone season 6 is in discussions, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser potentially set to lead. This is according to an initial report by Puck and then followed up by multiple other outlets.
The saga of Yellowstone season 5 and its future has been one deserving of its own one-hour drama. The first eight episodes of Yellowstone season 5 premiered in the fall of 2022 and wrapped up in the first couple days of 2023. Then the Hollywood strikes in 2023 delayed production on the remaining six episodes. Also during the hiatus, it was revealed that series lead Kevin Costner would not be returning for the second half of season 5 because of scheduling conflicts with him making Horizon: An American Saga. Then there have been various reports of Yellowstone’s favorite characters continuing the series in some way. But rather than a spinoff, it may just be Yellowstone season 6.
