As fans of the hit show are keenly aware, Paramount has had everyone waiting for a long time already. The first half of “Yellowstone” season 5 aired at the end of 2022. Now, here we are at the beginning of 2024 and still waiting for the show’s return. Unfortunately, due to Kevin Costner’s exit from the series, coupled with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, the second half of season 5 has been pushed to November of this year.
It’s believed that “Yellowstone” will end when the second half of the current season airs. But fear not! It is believed that Taylor Sheridan is going to continue on with a new show set in the same world with a new actor in the lead role. The show must go on, as it were. Speaking of the show going on, there’s a more than decent chance it won’t be going on much longer for Bentley, given that Jamie Dutton has a target on his chest. Should it come to pass that Jamie dies, Bentley has made his peace with it.
“Every one is my last one in my head, but that’s the life of an actor. That’s what we do. Every job’s my last job until the next one. It’s never steady, as they say. So I just learned to not expect anything, except enjoy the moments. And I’ve had so many as Jamie. It’s like I’ve played many characters in one and I’ve gone so many places with him. It would be hard to forever let him go in a way, but also I’d feel fulfilled if I had to.”
“Yellowstone” season 5 is set to return on Paramount Network in November.
