Exclusive Leak: Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Set for Thrilling Comeback - Find Out When!
Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 release update confirms delay, but promises a swift return Fans eagerly await the November release as the show's rocky road to completion is explained
Summary
Yellowstone season 5 part 2 was originally eyeing a November 2023 release date, but this has been delayed dueo to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
A recent update confirms that creator Taylor Sheridan completed the majority of the scripts before the strike, and certain aspects of pre-production for season 5 part 2 are already in progress. As a result, once the strike concludes, the production of season 5 part 2 could potentially proceed at a rapid pace.
The participation of lead actor Kevin Costner in Yellowstone has faced various dramatic complications in the past few months, making it uncertain how much screen time he will have in season 5 part 2.
The release of Yellowstone season 5 part 2 has been postponed from its original date, but there is some positive news regarding its return. Taylor Sheridan's neo-Western series has gained immense popularity and has become one of the most watched shows on TV. However, since the release of season 5 part 1 last year, updates about the remaining episodes have been scarce.
According to recent information from Puck, Yellowstone season 5 part 2 was initially scheduled to premiere in November 2023. Unfortunately, due to ongoing strikes by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA), this plan had to be delayed. Despite this setback, it is reported that Sheridan managed to complete a majority of the scripts before the strikes began. Consequently, with pre-production already underway, the production team should be able to commence shooting season 5 part 2 soon after the conclusion of the strikes.
Rocky Road To Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Explained
Yellowstone season 5 part 1 premiered in November of the previous year. The eight-episode batch concluded with a mid-season finale airing on January 1, 2023. However, in February, reports started surfacing about some behind-the-scenes drama surrounding lead actor Kevin Costner, who portrays John Dutton. Not only were there disputes over pay, but it was also alleged that Costner wanted to reduce his filming time in order to focus on his own Western movie, Horizon, where he serves as a co-writer, producer, director, and star.
After these initial reports, Paramount validated in May that season 5 would be Yellowstone's final season. Since then, the Costner drama has persisted, and it remains uncertain how much, if any, of season 5 part 2 he will be involved in or if he will even make an appearance.
The plans for Yellowstone season 5 part 2 were further disrupted by the WGA strike in May. Both the writers and the actors' guild, SAG-AFTRA, participated in the strike starting in July, causing a halt in Hollywood's operations. How Sheridan will conclude the remaining episodes of Yellowstone is yet to be determined. However, there is a sequel series in the works featuring Matthew McConaughey, which is expected to be devoid of the troubles that have afflicted the original series recently.
