The newest episodes are available on the Paramount Network (which you can watch via Philo or SlingTV). Here’s how to watch every season of Yellowstone, including season five, on cable and streaming.

Despite the fact that Yellowstone airs exclusively on the Paramount Network, it is not currently available to stream on Paramount+. Instead, you can watch all past episodes of the show on Peacock. (NBCUniversal purchased the streaming rights to Yellowstone in 2020, but Paramount+ didn't launch until 2021.)

If you don't subscribe to cable, you can sign up for a free seven-day trial of Philo to watch Yellowstone for free. A monthly subscription to the service is $25. Alternatively, you can sign up for SlingTV for $20 during the first month ($40 a month after your first).

Streaming episodes of season five will be made available for purchase on Amazon Prime, iTunes or Vudu, and they will eventually all head to Peacock, too, although the exact date hasn’t been released. In the past, the streamer has dropped the whole season’s worth of episodes within a few weeks of the finale.

If you need your fix of Yellowstone content as soon as possible, try the prequel series 1923 on Paramount+. Starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as Dutton descendants, 1923 provides insight into the history of the Dutton family and how some of the characters of Yellowstone came to be. New episodes started airing again on Paramount+ on Sunday, February 5.

On Yellowstone, the Dutton family are the powerful owners of the largest cattle ranch in the United States, and will do whatever they can to maintain their land and their status. That often puts them in the crosshairs, whether it’s from real estate developers who want to encroach on their land or Indigenous tribes who want to reclaim what was stolen from them. Series regulars include Costner as John Dutton, a widower with three children. Powerful within the ranching world, Dutton might also find himself taking over the job as Governor of Montana this season, a job that his adopted son Jamie (Wes Bentley) desperately wanted for himself. Luke Grimes plays his eldest son and former Navy SEAL Kayce Dutton, Kelly Reilly stars as daughter Beth Dutton, who has an on-again, off-again romance with ranch hand Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), whom she married at the end of last season. In addition to the main cast members returning for season five, several recurring stars have been bumped up to series regulars: Mo Brings Plenty, who stars as Mo, and Wendy Moniz, who plays Governor Lynelle Perry, will expand their roles, as will Jen Landon, who plays ranch hand Teeter, and Kathryn Kelly, who plays the ranch’s vet, Emily.

There are plenty of loose ends from the first part of season five that still need to be tied up, so you'll want to tune in this summer to see what happens with the Duttons and their foes when the newest episode of Yellowstone premieres.
