While Yellowstone spin-offs continue to expand the Dutton world, there’s still Season 5 Part 2 of the flagship series to go — so, here’s how many episodes there are in the fifth chapter of Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western show.

Taylor Sheridan’s incredibly successful Western show returned to our screens in November 2022 with its biggest premiere yet, breaking its own record with a whopping 12.1 million viewers.

We picked up with John Dutton (Kevin Costner) being sworn in as Montana’s new governor, but just before the mid-season break, viewers have been left on tenterhooks: will Jamie (Wes Bentley) kill Beth (Kelly Reilly)? Or will it be the other way around?

When Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 rolls around, we’ll hopefully get our answer. But as we approach the end of the show for good, many want to know just how many Yellowstone episodes we have left to wrap it all up. Here’s what we know.

How many episodes are in Yellowstone Season 5?

It was initially thought that there will be a total of 14 episodes in Yellowstone Season 5, but cast member Josh Lucas recently revealed that there might be as many as ten more to come in Part 2.

The final season has been split into two parts, with the first eight episodes having aired in 2022/2023. This marks the show’s longest season yet, with Season 1 having just nine episodes and the others increasing to 10.

At first, everyone assumed that there would still be just six episodes in Part 2, but Josh Lucas (who plays young John Dutton on the show) recently told Deadline that he was under the impression that ten more episodes were on the cards.

Since that 14-episode plan was created before it was announced that Yellowstone was cancelled, it would make sense that Sheridan and Paramount are expanding the number of episodes in order to round-out the story in a satisfying way. Still, this has yet to be confirmed by official sources.

Here are the episodes in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 1 that have already been released:

  • Episode 1: ‘One Hundred Years is Nothing’
  • Episode 2: ‘The Sting of Wisdom’
  • Episode 3: ‘Tall Drink of Water’
  • Episode 4: ‘Horses in Heaven’
  • Episode 5: ‘Watch’em Ride Away’
  • Episode 6: ‘Cigarettes, Whiskey, a Meadow and You’
  • Episode 7: ‘The Dream Is Not Me’
  • Episode 8: ‘A Knife and No Coin’

Part 2 of the fifth season hasn’t been released yet, and it’s not expected to hit our screens until November 2024. Nevertheless, here’s all of the episodes still to come (that we know of):

  • Episode 9: TBC
  • Episode 10: TBC
  • Episode 11: TBC
  • Episode 12: TBC
  • Episode 13: TBC
  • Episode 14: TBC
