Fans can quibble with whether Yellowstone season 4 and its all out war saga was creativity successful or not, but what cannot be denied is the awesome ratings power of this Taylor Sheridan-created Paramount Network series. In its fourth season, Yellowstone was once again one of TV’s most-watched properties, with a premiere that drew 10.5 million viewers and a finale that took in almost the exact same amount. Naturally Paramount Network wants more of that good stuff so they ordered Yellowstone season 5 back in February 2022. With season 5 fast approaching, let’s take stock of everything we know about Yellowstone season 5 and take some guesses on the things we don’t know.

Yellowstone Season 5 Trailer
The first full trailer for Yellowstone season 5 is here and it’s going full West Wing. See what we mean below: Yes, that is Governor John Dutton and yes, Montana might be in trouble. What does Kayce’s apocalyptic vision mean for the future of the ranch, Montana, and maybe the world at large? Who else is leaving the series for the 6666 spinoff? And most importantly: what’s next for Beth Dutton? We’ll keep an eye out for any and all interviews that offer up tidbits of information for what’s to come. Of course, as the trailer reveals, much of Yellowstone season 5 will take place in the hallowed halls of the Montana government. This season could be called “Helena” as much as “Yellowstone.”
