In news that comes as no surprise, the Paramount Network’s massive ratings hit Yellowstone, will be returning for a fifth season, per Deadline.
Production on season five will begin in May and with its return, comes the news that guest stars Jen Lendon and Kathryn Kelly have been upped to series regulars. They’ll be joining 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.
Yellowstone returning for a fifth season is a legit no-brainer. The series continues to break records with its season four premiere registering 14 million total viewers and its finale garnering over 15 million total viewers. Chris McCarthy, President, and CEO, ViacomCBS Media Networks, had this to say about the renewal:
“Yellowstone’s record-breaking performance proves we’ve tapped a cultural nerve and unleashed a passionate audience from the center of the country to each of the coasts. Kevin Costner leads our incredible cast who make the Duttons America’s favorite family and, this new season is sure to be another one fans won’t want to miss.”
In addition to its ratings success, Yellowstone also recently scored SAG and PGA nominations which further solidifies its place as a television powerhouse. It doesn’t appear that Yellowstone is going anywhere anytime soon as it’s proving to be a rare television hit in a time when streaming has become a dominant force.
