Taylor Sheridan, creator of the successful Yellowstone spin-off shows, has made a name for himself. Sequels and spin-offs often fall short, but not in the case of the Yellowstone world. Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, the series finale, faces a delay in its last six episodes. These episodes are set to premiere in November 2024, as per Variety. The season began in November 2022, with episode 8 airing in January 2023. The intended return in November 2023 was postponed due to Hollywood strikes and production issues involving Kevin Costner. There are even rumors that Costner may not return for the final episodes. While waiting for the flagship series to conclude, there are already five Yellowstone spin-off shows to keep track of. As of November 6, 2023, there are three prequels, titled 1883, 1923, and 1944, as well as two sequels, titled 2024 and 6666. Sheridan is an executive producer on the Paramount+ series Lawmen: Bass Reeves, originally thought to be part of the Yellowstone universe.
