Summary

Catch up on the widely adored neo-Western drama ahead of its final season, which concludes after Kevin Costner's departure.
Pluto TV is set to broadcast seasons 1 and 2 on August 19 and 20, followed by seasons 3 and 4 on August 26 and 27. Encore presentations will be available from September 1 to September 4.
Pluto TV has announced that Yellowstone will be available for streaming on their platform prior to the release of season 5, part 2. The popular neo-Western drama, which airs on the Paramount Network, has faced production challenges due to Kevin Costner's departure, signaling the end of the main series. As a result, Pluto TV will be hosting a marathon of seasons 1 through 4 on two different weekends. Seasons 1 and 2 will be available for streaming on August 19 and 20, while seasons 3 and 4 will be available on August 26 and 27. Additionally, each season will be re-aired on the platform from Friday, September 1 through Monday, September 4.
Why Yellowstone Has A Confusing Streaming History
Yellowstone on Pluto TV adds to its already complex streaming history. Prior to the launch of Paramount+, the show's parent company sold the streaming rights to Peacock, unaware of its future popularity. Reacquiring these rights has proven to be a challenge, with reports suggesting that Yellowstone won't transition from Peacock to Paramount+ until four years after the series has concluded.
This poses a major inconvenience for fans who wish to fully immerse themselves in the Yellowstone universe. While spinoffs like 1883 and 1923 are available on Paramount+, the main show remains on Peacock. As a result, enjoying the entirety of Yellowstone requires subscribing to both platforms, which can be cumbersome for those rewatching or discovering the show for the first time.
Yellowstone will also be broadcast on CBS this autumn, which adds to the confusion of determining the ideal platform for watching the series. Nevertheless, viewers eager to catch up before the second part of Yellowstone season 5 can make use of Pluto TV's upcoming marathon starting this weekend. Despite its previous streaming availability, Yellowstone has managed to maintain its popularity, which may attract a larger audience over time if the show continues to be successful.
