What is known about the plot of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2
Yellowstone follows the life of the Dutton family on their titular ranch, where they constantly have to fight for ownership of their land. At the same time, the question arises as to who can inherit the family patriarch John (Kevin Costner). The first episodes of season 5 ended with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) telling his sister Beth (Kelly Reilly) and his father the fight within the family announced. Many fans now suspect that there will be deaths in the series finale. But who survives?
The Yellowstone ending is tight-lipped about its plot. All that is known so far is that Josh Lucas will return in his role as young John Dutton. At the same time, it seems inevitable that the Yellowstone crisis will have a negative impact on the finale.
The series crisis: Will Kevin Costner return to the Yellowstone finale?
The Yellowstone drama that has been raging behind the scenes for months took place primarily between series creator Taylor Sheridan and lead actor Kevin Costner: Costner wanted time, his own passion project, that multi-part western epic Horizonto shoot for the cinema and Yellowstone demanded fewer shooting days, more pay and greater creative influence.

Sheridan found the demands bitter and his scripts were not finished on time. Then it was Kevin Costner kicked out of Yellowstone, declared the end of the series after season 5 and quickly planned a new sequel series with Matthew McConaughey (who, as a new star, is not yet completely dry). Threatened legal action by Costner and Sheridan followed. Additionally, three other Yellowstone stars demanded more pay.
Kevin Costner recently expressed his willingness to return to Yellowstone, although this is questionable after the long dispute. In the end, it’s not his decision. Whether at least one conciliatory cameo is in it, as THR suggests ongoing negotiations, we’ll have to wait and see.
