While there were rumors that the series may continue beyond the current season, Paramount never officially confirmed a sixth season. However, fans were quick to notice one detail in the latest preview for the show’s penultimate episode.
It was announced during the preview that the series only had one episode left until the“season finale”ofYellowstone. Fans found it weird that it wasn’t mentioned as a series finale. It has sparked widespread speculation among fans that Sheridan and Paramount could be secretly planning a sixth season.

Episode 12 ofYellowstone‘s fifth season was a tearjerker as fans mourned theloss of a longtime characterof the show.

You Won’t Believe How Much Taylor Sheridan Paid to Buy the Yellowstone Ranch
While the show continues to intrigue audiences despiteKevin Costner‘s departure, fans have grown to accept the fact that the show would end afterSeason 5. It was what Paramount had announced in May, around the time when rumors aboutCostner and Taylor Sheridan’s feudwere rampant.
Recently in August 2024, there was an unconfirmed report fromPuckabout Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser returning for a sixth season.

By mentioning it as the season finale, the show hinted at the possibility of coming up with more seasons. Fans have already expressed doubts about the show’s conclusion after five seasons since the current season has left too many open plots for its two remaining episodes to address.
Paramount’s announcement about the show ending after five seasons came in May 2023. In the one and a half years since then, both Sheridan and Paramount could’ve had a change of heart. It might also be possible that Paramount could be waiting for the audience response to a Costner-less season to decide on the future of the show.
Fans React To The Preview’s Not-So-SubtleSeason 6Hint
Fans took to X after Sunday’s preview calledSeason 5 Episode 14, which is set to air on December 15, as the season finale and not the series finale. Fans wanted to make sure that they heard it right and were excited when other fans confirmed their suspicions. One fan mentioned that they had since lost trust inTaylor Sheridanbut the update still caught them off-guard. Some of the fan reactions read:
Not that I have any faith whatsoever in TS, but did anyone else notice they said “Season Finale” and not Series Finale at the end of#Yellowstonelast night?
Did I hear that right@Yellowstone? One more episode BEFORE THE SEASON FINALE? Not SERIES finale, SEASON finale!#Yellowstone#YellowstoneTV
Maybe I’m a little out of the loop but the bumper said “season finale” of#Yellowstonenot “series finale” as I had been lead to believe. Did they officially announce a 6th season?
I’m sorry did they say SEASON finale????#Yellowstone
Wait a second… that preview mentioned the S5 finale, not the series finale… I thought the show was ending?@Yellowstone?#Yellowstone
According to theNY Post, actorCole Hausershared that he would return as Rip Wheeler for a sixth season if Sheridan wrote it. That confession along with the Puck report seems like something’s cooking behind the scenes inYellowstone. Sheridan’s latest projectLandmanis failing to make an impression, which might prompt him to put his focus back onYellowstone.
