What's the big news on Yellowstone season five?
Well, we know when it's coming out.
People can't seem to get enough of the Yellowstone franchise,
and that's partially due to the fact that the show
has been written well,
cast well, and has kept people enthralled for many seasons
now.
Add to that the ability to make spin offs that
just add to the mystique of it all,
and it's really not that hard to see why it's
done so well.
But with the upcoming season 5,
fans are eager for answers.
And we now have the biggest one solved in terms
of its release window
#5 Season 5A release window.
Paramount announced that season five of the hit western series
Yellowstone will premiere this November.
The series follows the Dutton family,
led by patriarch John Dutton Kevin Costner,
trying to keep control over the largest contiguous cattle ranch
in the United States created by Taylor Sheridan.
Yellowstone has kept breaking audience records for Paramount ever since
its release
for season four. 10.3 million spectators tuned in to see
the finale,
a 79% ratings increase from the season 3 finale.
It's not an overreacting to say that Yellowstone became one
of
Paramount's most prized possessions. And the company seems to know
this as the main series was quickly renewed for season
five,
was shared and hired to develop 3 prequels to the
original series.
Last year, Paramount Plus released the first Yellowstone spin off,
1883. Starring Sam Elliott, Faith Hill,
and Tim McGraw, the prequel series follows the 1st generation
of the Dutton family to set roots in the West,
building the ranch that shows up in the present time
events of Yellowstone.
The prequel proved to be a hit,
bringing around 4.9 million viewers during its premiere episode.
So while Season 2 of
1883 has not been officially announced,
Paramount has already confirmed it's determined to produce more content
following the same character.
There are two other prequel series currently in development.
The 1st 1932 will follow yet another generation of the
Dutton family and is set to *
Hollywood legends Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
Set during the Great Depression in the alcohol prohibition in
the United States,
the prequel will explore how different historical eras impose particular
challenges on the Dutton empire.
Moving away from the Duttons is
6666, a prequel that I'll explore in time when Texas
was still ruled by Comanches.
Set in the legendary real life property of the Four
Sixes Ranch,
6666 will open an exciting chapter in the Yellowstone franchise
as it allows the universe to grow beyond a family.
Paramount is so optimistic about
6666 a success that it has recently moved the prequel
series from streaming to linear cable.
Season 5 of Yellowstone will be bigger than ever,
with 14 episodes instead of 10 like previous seasons.
Fans could expect the production of season 5 to last
longer considering the additional content that Sheridan is bringing to
the show,
but that is not the case.
Even though season five of Yellowstone started filming this week,
the season will be ready for fans in a little
more than six months.
There's still no release date for
6666 or 1932. Season five of Yellowstone will premiere on
Sunday,
November
13th #4 how season four ended.
Given the height that's now paramount,
pun intended, for season 5,
let's look back and see what went down by the
time season four was wrapped up.
When season four ended, the ranch had weathered a militia
attack led by Jamie's biological father,
Garrett Randall, played by Will Patton.
Beth married Rip Wheeler Cole Hauser after tipping a journalist
off to the fact that Market Equities plan to squash
a protest with help from the National Guard.
Jamie, meanwhile, killed Garrett, which Beth plans to use as
blackmail in the future.
The cast have said that they don't know what's going
to happen until they get the scripts,
but Riley thinks her character is planning revenge in Season
5.
Beth has decided she cannot rest until she gets justice,
the actress said in a promotional video for the show.
She wants blood. It's really kind of intense
#3 teases Grimes and Asbel tease their characters fates during
an interview at the ACM Awards in March
2022. I'm ready to have a sweet little baby on
set,
Asbel told ET, referring to her character Monical's second pregnancy,
which was revealed in season four.
Grimes, however, isn't so sure that the outcome will be
positive.
We might die tomorrow, he joked.
It's kind of the Yellowstone trademark,
as Bill added that she's not sure Monica and Casey's
marriage will last.
I hope that they'll be happy in the end,
but it's not likely to be honest,
she explained. Both actors noted that they never know what's
going to happen until they get those scripts.
We're sorta on the ride with everybody else.
Graham said White shut down rumors that his character was
exiting after Jimmy relocated to the
6666 Ranch in Texas during Season 4.
I'm in Season 5, Jimmy'z in season five,
he exclusively told Us Weekly and March of
2022. That's great. I'm really looking forward to that.
He continued. I didn't know necessarily what Jimmy's future was.
I still don't know exactly what Jimmy's future holds.
I've really given up on trying to guess what.
Taylor shared in the show's creator.
I think one of the best writers in television now
or ever,
definitely comes up with is always so much better than
what I could come up with.
So I'm really excited that Jimmy's journey continues and I
have no idea where it leads and I'm just kind
of ready to try to hold on
#2. John Dutton The patriarch of the Dutton ranch,
John Kevin Costner had a fairly tame season considering the
previous Promise All Out War to discover who was sent
to wipe out his family.
John predominantly focused on his recovery and a slower life
for a while.
His relationship with the activist Summer Piper Parabo was the
most interesting development that he had,
as it was an unexpected romance and caused a major
rift between him and his daughter Beth Kelly Riley.
However, with the rift closing as quickly as it opened,
John became concerned with ensuring Summer didn't do any major
jail time after she protested the airport.
Schwartz and Meyer proposes building on Dutton land.
John clash with two relatively new players and Commander Bill
Ramsey,
Rob Kirkland and Judge Mitchell Davis.
Pat Skipper, who seems a less eager to play ball
with John then he's accustomed.
Ramsey took the place of the fallen Sheriff Haskell,
Hugh Dillon, who was a long time ally of the
Dutton's. Does this change in cast mean that John is
going to have to find a way to work with
these new by the book lawmen?
Perhaps to some degree. 1 prediction is if John no
longer has the law on his side,
it will force his hand to reluctantly run for governor.
So far he has been hesitant to the idea ever
since Lynnell Perry,
Wendy Moniz threw it out there.
Number one, the
1883 question. The spin offs of Yellowstone may seem a
bit random at times,
but in truth they potentially show the future of the
main show.
The most important moment from the finale of
1883 was easy to dismiss him at the bloodshed,
amputation, tears and tragedy. It was a line of dialogue
delivered by a veteran actor appearing on the show for
the first time.
Graham Greene played Spotted Eagle,
a Crow elder who tries to heal Elsa Dutton's Isabel
May's wounds.
And if you watch the February 27th episode,
you know how that worked out.
No spoilers, I promise. But central to his exchange with
the Dutton family is the conversation he has with James
Dutton,
as played by Tim McGraw.
The family patriarch makes it known he's urgently looking for
a place to rest,
and Spotted Eagle points him toward Paradise Valley,
where Yellowstone fans know John Dutton and company ultimately reside.
The favor comes with a caveat,
however. In seven generations, my people will rise up and
take it back from you,
Spotted Eagle says. Dutton says that in seven generations,
he'll gladly give it back.
But how far away are we from meeting the 7th
generation?
Or have we met him or her?
Fortunately, we have an answer.
Creator Taylor Sheridan addressed the topic during the Road West
Behind the Scenes episode that aired in January.
According to Sheridan, James Dutton is John Dutton's great,
great, great grandfather. So following the timeline and the generational
line,
our John Dutton Costner is the 6th generation and that
means Casey and Beth are the 7th.
So perhaps the reason that we got to hear this
prophecy in the
1883 finale is because it sets up what is coming
in season 5.
So what do you think?
I think, what do you think of this Look at
Yellowstone season five,
it's spin offs and how everything is going for the
franchise as a whole.
Are you excited to get back to Yellowstone this year?
Should things hold? What about all the spin offs that
are coming?
Do you think they'll be able to match the quality
of things or are they stretching themselves too thin?

see you next time on the channel.
