Where to watch Yellowstone season 5 (and the season premiere for free)

Yellowstone is a hugely popular show that looks at the conflicts between a large cattle ranch, a Native American reservation, and greedy land developers. The show stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the gruff but likable patriarch of a cattle dynasty who tries to fend off competitors and rein in his unruly family. Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, and Wes Bentley star as Dutton’s children, who have their own set of troubles.

With a fantastic cast and storylines that mix soap opera and red-state social commentary, Yellowstone follows the melodramatics of the Dutton family as well as the conflicts between warring landowners in Big Sky country. The show, created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, has streamed four seasons so far and its massive success shows no signs of stopping.

If you crave Dallas-style drama mixed with lots of cattle, guns, and plaid shirts, then Yellowstone is for you. The show is a huge streaming hit, and has already spawned a multiverse of sorts, with 1883 airing a year ago and another prequel, 1923, is now streaming its first episode with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the lead roles.

Don’t take our word for it, though. Yellowstone currently has an 83% on the Tomatometer and a 57 on Metacritic.

Watch Yellowstone season 5, episode 10: release date, time, channel, and plot

After an almost a two-year hiatus, the Dutton family finally returned to prime-time television with Yellowstone season 5, part 2. Even with the time off, Yellowstone remained a ratings juggernaut, as the premiere generated a whopping 16.4 million viewers across all cable networks and CBS airings. That's an increase of 3% from the season 5, part 1 premiere, which registered 15.9 million viewers.

The biggest question heading into the premiere was how series creator Taylor Sheridan would handle the departure of Kevin Costner as John Dutton. Sheridan wasted no time writing off the patriarch of the Dutton family. Even without John Dutton, his presence will still be felt this season, with the main storyline dealing with the aftermath of his tragic ending. Find out how to watch the next episode of Yellowstone below.
