Will Season 2 of Yellowstone match the success of Season 1, which aired later than expected on CBS?
Yellowstone has established itself as one of the most popular television shows globally. Led by Kevin Costner, portraying the Dutton family who own a ranch, this crime series has deeply resonated with viewers worldwide.
Costner and the show's producers have had a fallout, resulting in the pause of the fifth, and final, season of Yellowstone. Currently, there is no information available regarding the show's conclusion. Although the show is broadcasted on the Paramount Network, CBS has recently acquired the rights to air the first season of the series, which concluded last night. The status of Season 2 remains uncertain.
Is Yellowstone Season 2 coming to CBS?
Indeed, CBS will be broadcasting Yellowstone Season 2. Remarkably, the series will be airing without interruption, concluding Season 1 on October 22, 2023, and commencing Season 2 just one week later, on October 29.
The writer and actor strikes led to CBS seeking programming to fill gaps in their schedule, thus prompting the network to make the Yellowstone deal. Screening these reruns has proven to be a remarkable success.
Variety reports that the debut episode garnered 6.6 million viewers upon its initial airing, with the number increasing to 7.5 million after three days of delayed viewing on VOD, DVR, and other platforms. Since then, the series has maintained an average of 5.49 million viewers throughout its first season, an impressive feat considering the episodes are five years old.
21.6 million viewers have watched at least one episode on CBS. According to the network, 52% of these viewers are new to the series and have not watched any episodes in the past year on linear or streaming platforms.
