How to Watch Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Streaming Options

Hindsight is 20/20, especially when reflecting on the unexpected rise of Taylor Sheridan and John Linson’s western drama, Yellowstone. The series has captivated audiences in ways that few anticipated, leading to challenges in streaming its conclusion—at least for the moment.

To understand the journey of Yellowstone, it’s important to consider its origins. Before becoming a household name in the television industry, Sheridan was a struggling actor, best known for his roles as Danny Boyd in Veronica Mars and David Hale in Sons of Anarchy. His dissatisfaction with the acting profession prompted a shift to screenwriting, where he found his true calling. Initially conceived as a film script, Yellowstone was pitched to HBO, only to face hurdles related to network dynamics. Despite initial setbacks with HBO, where the collaboration soured, the then-programming president, Michael Lombardo, allowed Sheridan to retain ownership—an invaluable victory for the emerging creator.

Continuing to network his vision, Sheridan’s persistence paid off when the Paramount Network acquired the rights, leading to the series debut in 2018. Since then, Yellowstone has become a cultural phenomenon.

How to Watch the ‘Yellowstone’ Finale

Fans eager to catch the series’ finale might assume it would be conveniently available on Paramount+, the network’s streaming platform. However, in a twist of fate, the American streaming rights to Yellowstone were sold to Peacock in 2021, complicating viewers’ plans.

As it stands, you can currently stream seasons 1 through 5A on Peacock. Unfortunately, the conclusion of season 5 is pending, thanks to the earlier rights deal. Expect the rest of the series to become accessible on Peacock between late March and May 2025.

For those unwilling to wait, live TV streaming services provide an alternative. Platforms like Philo, YouTube TV, Fubo, and Hulu Plus Live TV are excellent options, each offering various free trial durations to explore your preferences.

If you prefer to own your content digitally, consider platforms like Prime Video or Apple TV. For physical media enthusiasts, Blu-ray and DVD versions will not be available until May 27, 2025. Moreover, the Dutton family saga continues beyond the original series; once you catch up on Yellowstone, don’t miss out on the spinoffs such as 1883 and 1923, available on Paramount+.

The narrative of Yellowstone revolves around the complex dynamics of the Dutton family, who are fiercely dedicated to preserving their vast Montana ranch and its legacy. The series stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton III, the formidable patriarch, alongside a talented ensemble featuring Dave Annable, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes, who portray his four children: Lee, Jamie, Beth, and Kayce, respectively.
