Yellowstone, America’s biggest and most beloved show, is coming back for season 5
Millions and millions of people watch Yellowstone, so it's obviously getting a new season
Aux News Yellowstone
As if there was any doubt it would happen, given the fact that it’s the most popular TV show on history and it makes every other TV show look like trash (despite the fact that you never hear anyone talk about it), the Paramount Network’s Yellowstone has been picked up for a fifth season of rustlin’, ropin’, and ridin’. Those are things cowboys do. It’s a show about cowboys.
According to a press release, the premiere of Yellowstone’s previous season pulled in “over 14 million total viewers” and its finale in January got “over 15 million,” so at that rate, the premiere of season five should expect to get… even more than that. Saying you watch it won’t impress anyone, the way something like Succession might, but it’s hard to deny numbers like that.
The press release doesn’t say much about what to expect from season 5 of Yellowstone, beyond the usual “shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect,” but Jen Landon and Kathryn Kelly are joining the show as series regulars. They’ll be appearing alongside Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, Finn Little, Ryan Bingham, and Gil Birmingham. Production on the new season will begin in May.
If that’s too long to wait for more of the Dutton family, Paramount+’s spin-off series 1883 premiered back in December. It stars Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Sam Elliott, and—as indicated by the name—it takes place in the Old West and is therefore even more of a show about cowboys. Hell, putting Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Sam Elliott in any show would probably make it a show about cowboys.
Anyway, with this news now out there, this is as good an excuse as any to call your parents. They’d be happy to hear about this, and they’d probably love to hear from you.

You know, this hippie cowboy program really stirs my craw something fierce.
It’s good for what ails ya’!
boy howdy
My favorite recent Sam Elliot gig was his 2020 SB Doritos ad with Lil Nas X.Hey, What happened to that Lil Guy? I thought he was going to be all the rage.
Yellowjackets is a good show. I hope it gets five seasons
Imagine my gran’pappy’s surprise and confusion when he accidentally put on Yellowjackets instead of Yellowstone.
Saying you watch it won’t impress anyone, the way something like Succession might,Wait, is anyone actually impressed when they hear the person they’re talking to is watching something like Succession? Is watching one of the most popular, most talked-about shows really something that impresses others?I have no interest in Yellowstone and what little I’ve read about it makes me think it’s middlebrow melodrama that ranges between kinda dopey to pretty decent, but I am curious why some writers seem so obsessed with it even as their writing fairly drips with snark and thinly-veiled contempt.
I’ll go one further — is anyone really impressed by hearing that someone else watches any TV show these days? Or is that just something that smug, pretentious people desperately hope will happen in order to validate their self-conceit and quell that quiet, nagging voice inside that nevertheless insistently points out that even in the age of Peak TV, being part of a fandom isn’t actually a substitute for having an appealing personality?Because sure, whenever I hear that someone else watches a TV show I like I’m always kind of pleased, but that’s mainly because it means I can shoot the breeze with at least one other person about it. But I can’t remember if I’ve ever actually been awed by the fact that someone else watches a particular show, especially when — as you say — the show in question is one of the most popular and widely-watched of the current moment.
I mean, some people might just bring up a show because they like it and want to talk about it. If I tell someone I’m watching Yellowjackets I don’t expect them to think I’m hip because I discovered some obscure major cable network TV show, I might actually want to find someone else who wants to talk Yellowjackets.When I think of someone being smug about some obscure thing they discovered it’s never a TV show… It’s a band (out-obscuring other music nerds is how you win at being a music nerd) or maybe a cineaste film aficionado who considers Criterion too mainstream. Maybe British comedy fans or anime geeks are like that, but over a mainstream show currently airing or streaming?
“why some writers seem so obsessed with it even as their writing fairly drips with snark and thinly-veiled contempt.”You sort of answered your own question with the last part of your sentence.
Worse is people who brag about never having seen something, or even more insufferably, that they’ve never heard of it.The latter particularly sticks in my craw, you’re bagging on a show due to your own ignorance, bully for you (to be clear, not having heard of a TV programme is fine, stuff passes by everyone, but don’t make it a point of pride or a strike against the show itself).Someone in the sports section of The Guardian was giving it large about not knowing who Tom Brady was the other week, presumably in exchange for E-Peen.
You can tell us: how much is Paramount paying you to shill this show? It’s not enough. You need to renegotiate the contract stat.
im only here for the snark
Is this article being sarcastic with the tone ? Somebody clue me in. Very confused. This site is weirder than ever
(despite the fact that you never hear anyone talk about it),This basically tells me you don’t talk to anyone outside your circle of like-minded friends. Which I understand, I barely do that myself, but I’m not going to say nobody talks about Yellowstone when I don’t talk to the many, many people who’d watch Yellowstone.
You know what’s really good? Arcane. You guys should review that.
Seconded. I have absolutely no knowledge about League of Legends and I thought Arcane was superb. Reading about LoL afterwards, I think it was actually a good thing I didn’t know about it because it made Arcane all the less predictable.
I tell everyone I know I watch this show and they should too! I walk up to strangers in the store and tell them. It’s kinda like being a vegan, you gotta tell everyone.Succession is three bratty kids bitching to their dad. It’s annoying.
After reading this, I need to confirm again…all of the current writers are leaving the site, right?
