Back to the ranch. The Yellowstone<\/em> universe keeps expanding, and the franchise\u2019s flagship series<\/a> is no exception \u2014 Paramount renewed the show for a fifth season in February 2022.<\/p>\n Starring Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a>, Kelly Reilly<\/strong><\/a> and Wes Bentley<\/strong><\/a>, the drama series premiered on the Paramount Network in June 2018. The modern western has since become a phenomenon, inspiring multiple spinoffs<\/a> and racking up nominations at various awards shows<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2021, Yellowstone<\/em><\/a> was one of the most-watched cable shows of the year, with more than 11 million viewers tuning in for the season four finale. Costner has been famous since the 1980s, but Yellowstone<\/em> has helped him reach a whole new audience.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I\u2019m out, within an hour, somebody is going to talk about it,\u201d the Oscar winner told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> in an interview published in March 2022. \u201cYou kind of hope that happens a little bit and it has. I think it\u2019s what happens when you have great dialogue and you put it against mountains and rivers and running horses. I think there\u2019s a little gold dust on it.\u201d<\/p>\n The show follows the exploits of the Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. Costner plays family patriarch John Dutton, while Reilly stars as his daughter, Bethany, and Bentley appears as his son Jamie. The ensemble cast also includes Luke Grimes<\/strong>, Gil Birmingham<\/strong>,\u00a0Cole Hauser<\/strong> and Kelsey Asbille<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When season 4 ended, the ranch had weathered a militia attack led by Jamie\u2019s biological father, Garrett Randall (Will Patton<\/strong>). Beth married Rip Wheeler (Hauser) after tipping a journalist off to the fact that Market Equities planned to squash a protest with help from the National Guard. Jamie, meanwhile, killed Garrett, which Beth plans to use as blackmail in the future.<\/p>\n The cast have said they don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen until they get the scripts, but Reilly thinks her character is planning revenge in season 5. \u201cBeth has decided she cannot rest until she gets justice,\u201d the actress said in a promotional video for the show. \u201cShe wants blood. It\u2019s really kind of intense.\u201d<\/p>\n While fans wait for the next installment, there\u2019s plenty of other Yellowstone<\/em> content to go around. A prequel series titled 1883<\/em><\/a> premiered in December 2021, starring Tim McGraw<\/strong><\/a>, Faith Hill<\/strong><\/a> and Sam Elliott<\/strong><\/a>. Yellowstone<\/em> cocreator Taylor Sheridan<\/strong> confirmed in February 2022 that 1883<\/em> was conceived as a one-season limited series, but a sequel titled 1923<\/em> is also in development.<\/p>\n Another spinoff titled 6666<\/em> was announced in 2021. That series will debut on Paramount+ and will be set at the real-life Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas. In May 2021, a group led by Sheridan purchased the property for $200 million. Portions of season 4 were filmed at the ranch, which was established in 1900.<\/p>\n Keep scrolling for everything to know so far about Yellowstone<\/em> season 5:<\/p>\n
