John Dutton becomes Governor of Montana in Yellowstone season 5 trailer

In Yellowstone season 4, the rivals of John Dutton (Kevin Costner) didn’t believe that he had what it took to transition to politics and successfully run for Governor of Montana. But in the first trailer for Yellowstone season 5, John not only takes office, but he also cleans house and fires all of the governor’s previous staff. Unfortunately for John, gaining power in the state means that his enemies have multiplied. And they will come gunning for his family as well.

The first four seasons largely followed the struggles of the Dutton family to hold on to Yellowstone, the largest ranch in the country. Everyone wants a piece of their land, from developers to Native Americans who view it as property stolen from their ancestors centuries ago. But if John thought running for Governor would make things easier for the family, then he was dead wrong. So it’s a good thing that neither John nor his kin ever shies away from a fight.

Since its premiere in 2018, Yellowstone has been a breakout hit for the Paramount Network and one of the most popular shows on TV. Taylor Sheridan's modern Western also revitalized Kevin Costner's career by placing him in the lead as John Dutton, the patriarch of the Dutton family, who own the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, one of the largest ranches in Montana.

The fifth season of Yellowstone premiered in 2022, but the future of the series and the franchise were called into question when reports emerged that Costner was leaving the show and Paramount Network had already ordered a sequel series that will continue without Costner's involvement. To bring everyone up to speed, here's everything you need to know about the future of Yellowstone.
Will there be a sixth season of Yellowstone?
Until August 2024, it had been understood that the remaining episodes of Yellowstone season 5 would wrap up the series. However, it sounds like Paramount Network isn't willing to let its most popular show go quietly. Deadline is reporting that negotiations are underway with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser to co-headline a sixth season of Yellowstone. Reilly portrays Beth Dutton and Hauser portrays her husband, Rip Wheeler.
