At long last,Yellowstone's final episodes have a premiere date: Sunday, November 10 is when Season 5 Part 2 will ride back onto screens.

Paramount Network's hit Western drama, co-created by Fort Worthian Taylor Sheridan, has been on hiatus since January 2023.

According to a June 20 release, the series currently is filming in Montana. Paramount previously announced that Season 5 would be its last, and split the season into two parts. But fans have waited so long in between, "Part 2" feels like an all-new season.

The first eight episodes of Season 5 aired from November 2022 to January 2023. The red carpet premiere event was held in the Fort Worth Stockyards on November 13, 2022.

As TV Guide reports, "the show's final episodes were scheduled to premiere in November 2023, while a currently untitled sequel series was confirmed to be in the works and set to debut in December. However, the writers strike and the actors strike delayed both projects, and Season 5 is now set to return in November 2024."

There were also questions surrounding star Kevin Costner's return to the show. "It remains unlikely that Kevin Costner will be involved at all in Yellowstone's conclusion," Peoplereports.

For those unfamiliar, here's a show synopsis provided in the release: "Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton family who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park."

Co-creator Sheridan attended Fort Worth's Pascal High School and lives on a ranch in Weatherford. He has shot Yellowstone spinoff 1883and adjacent shows Lawmen: Bass ReevesandLand Man in the Fort Worth area.

During Yellowstone's filming hiatus, two of its biggest stars - Ryan Bingham ("Walker") and Hassie Harrison ("Laramie") - got married in Dallas.

Locally, the Season 5 Part 2 premiere will air at 8 pm November 10 on Paramount Network.

Internationally, Yellowstone will premiere on Paramount+ in Canada on November 10, the U.K. on November 11, and in Latin America, Brazil and France later in November, according to the release.
