Yellowstone Returns on November 10

Get ready, fans! The saga of “Yellowstone” is set to make a thunderous return, and this time it’s bigger than ever! Mark your calendars for November 10, when the Paramount Network will unveil its first original episode in a whopping 22 months. But there’s more – the excitement doesn’t stop there!

CBS Premiere Details

CBS has announced that it will also air a special broadcast of the episode, but with a twist. Instead of airing simultaneously with Paramount, the CBS premiere will hit screens at 10 p.m. ET/PT, two hours after the original broadcast.

A Legacy of Viewership

“Yellowstone” has a legacy of capturing the hearts of viewers, and it was the reigning champion of traditional TV when it last graced our screens in the 2022-23 season. Fans can expect to catch the highly-anticipated Nov. 10 episode right after CBS’s hit series "Tracker" — a strategic move likely designed to maximize viewer engagement. Adding to the excitement, CBS will host an NFL doubleheader earlier that day, ensuring a massive wave of audiences tuned into its primetime lineup.

A New Wave of Viewers

One of the most thrilling aspects of this return is that CBS has the reach to millions more households compared to Paramount Network, opening doors for many new viewers to dive into the gripping world of “Yellowstone.”

Kevin Costner's Departure

However, it’s important to note that the back half of Season 5 will continue without the franchise's marquee star, Kevin Costner. His decision to leave the show stems from his commitment to working on his Western film “Horizon: An American Saga,” paired with ongoing conflicts with showrunner Taylor Sheridan regarding the future of John Dutton's character.

CBS’s Previous Engagement with Yellowstone

Interestingly, this isn’t CBS’s first encounter with “Yellowstone.” Last fall, the network aired episodes from earlier seasons as a filler during the strike-induced absence of original scripted content. With the show's triumphant return, anticipation is at an all-time high!

The Big Question

So, will this be the comeback that leaves viewers breathless? Will the absence of Costner affect the show's momentum? Tune in on November 10 to catch all the drama, intrigue, and beautiful Montana landscapes - and find out if “Yellowstone” can keep its title as TV’s biggest sensation! Don’t miss it!
