Yellowstone Season 5’s Final Episodes Get Streaming Release Date On Peacock
Yellowstone fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the show’s final episodes, and now the long wait is almost over. After much speculation, the streaming release date for Yellowstone season 5, part 2, has officially been revealed. The conclusion of the hit Western drama will finally be available for streaming, wrapping up a journey that took nearly two years to complete.
Yellowstone’s Grand Finale Comes to Peacock
After a massive midseason hiatus caused by the Hollywood strikes and behind-the-scenes tension between creator Taylor Sheridan and leading star Kevin Costner, Yellowstone season 5 concluded on Paramount Network in December 2024. While the main series has officially ended, the franchise is far from over, with multiple spinoffs already in the works.
According to NBC, Yellowstone season 5, part 2, will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock starting March 16. This means that fans who missed the episodes when they aired weekly on Paramount Network will now have the chance to catch up on the long-awaited final chapter. These episodes will join the previous seasons, all of which are currently available on the streaming platform.
Why Peacock Has Yellowstone’s Streaming Rights
Although Yellowstone is a Paramount Network original, its streaming rights are held by Peacock, an NBC-owned service. This unusual arrangement stems from a deal made before the launch of Paramount+, allowing Peacock to maintain exclusive streaming rights despite Yellowstone being a Paramount production. Because of this, viewers who have been waiting for the final episodes to hit streaming platforms have been left in limbo for months.
With Yellowstone’s massive popularity, the arrival of season 5, part 2, is expected to significantly boost Peacock’s viewership numbers. While Peacock has had some success with its own original programming, Yellowstone is arguably a much bigger title. The final six episodes are likely to dominate the streaming charts in March, drawing in both longtime fans and new viewers who want to binge the entire series before watching the grand finale.
The Future of the Yellowstone Universe
Although Yellowstone is ending, its legacy is far from over. The show’s universe is expanding, with multiple spinoffs in development. However, a major question remains—how long will Peacock retain the rights to Yellowstone’s world?
Reports suggest that Paramount may run into legal complications when launching new spinoffs, especially those involving main characters like Beth and Rip. Since the spinoff was rumored to carry the Yellowstone name, there could be disputes over whether it falls under Peacock’s existing streaming rights. If this happens, Peacock may continue to hold control over a large portion of the Yellowstone franchise, making it the go-to platform for fans of the Dutton family saga.
With Yellowstone’s streaming future still uncertain, one thing is clear—fans won’t want to miss the final episodes when they hit Peacock this March. Whether this marks the true end of the series or just another chapter in the expanding Yellowstone universe, the Dutton family’s legacy continues to captivate audiences.
