It’s been nearly two years since the last new episode of Yellowstone on Paramount Network. With the show returning for its final run on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 8pm ET, it appears that – much like the famous Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park – long-simmering tensions are about to erupt.
Since it has been a while, here’s a look at the Yellowstone cast, Season 5 storylines, and most importantly, how to watch Yellowstone on Paramount Network with DISH. Not a DISH subscriber? Follow this link to find the best offer and subscribe to DISH today!

- America’s Top 200

If you’re a DISH subscriber but don’t have any of those packages, we still have good news: Paramount Network will be in free preview on DISH from Nov. 7 to Dec. 10, so you can catch the next five episodes live (six new episodes are expected in Season 5 Part 2).
Who is in the Cast of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?
Most of the show’s main cast is returning for the second part of Season 5. They include:
Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton
Kelly Reilly as Bethany “Beth” Dutton
Wes Bentley as James Michael “Jamie” Dutton
Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler
Kelsey Asbille as Monica Long Dutton
Gil Birmingham as Chief Thomas Rainwater
Jefferson White recently confirmed that his fan-favorite character Jimmy Hurdstrom will also return for the final episodes. However, there is one notable name missing from this list: Series star Kevin Costner.
Is Kevin Costner Returning To Yellowstone?
The short answer appears to be “No, but…”. Following more than a year of speculation, Costner confirmed in June that he would not be returning to the show for its final episodes, instead turning his focus on his multi-part western epic Horizon, which he co-wrote, directed, and starred in. Here’s Costner’s Instagram post announcing the news:
However, when the trailer for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 was released last month, Costner’s character John Dutton was featured prominently. Although The Hollywood Reporter describes Costner’s appearance in the trailer as “scenes likely to wrap his character,” the Horizon films did not do well at the box office, and Paramount has been noticeably quiet about John Dutton’s role in the story over its final episodes. The bottom line is that we’ll just have to tune-in to find out.
What Happened in Part 1 of Yellowstone Season 5?
Given that it’s been nearly two years since the last new episode of Yellowstone, you’re pardoned if you forgot the storylines. Here’s a brief recap, courtesy of Newsweek:
Season 5, Part 1, of the series saw John Dutton (Costner) become governor of Montana, using his political power to protect the family’s ranch from corporate and environmental threats. However, tensions within the family reached a boiling point when Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) made a bold move by publicly calling for his father’s impeachment.
Meanwhile, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) uncovered Jamie’s scheme and began plotting her own brutal counterstrike. Armed with knowledge of Jamie’s role in the murder of his biological father, Beth hinted at using this information to destroy her brother. At the same time, Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) wrestled with personal struggles away from the ranch.
