The final chapter of the beloved Western drama “Yellowstone” has begun with Season 5 Part 2 making its debut on Paramount Network. The show is already leaving fans reeling with its explosive return that delivered a heartbreaking twist. The series, which became a cultural phenomenon over the course of five seasons, began streaming its latest episodes on November 10 after a nearly two-year hiatus.

Yellowstone returned to Paramount Network last week to record record viewership following Kevin Costner’s departure from the show, USA Today reports. Part 2 of season 5 of the hit series centers on the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States and premiered last Sunday without Kevin Costner, who played family patriarch John Dutton III.

“Amid changing alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those who border it – a growing town, an Indian reservation and America’s first national park,” the series synopsis reads.
