Yellowstone Season 6: Release Date, Cast, Story & Latest Updates

Not exactly. The original Yellowstone ended with Season 5. Instead, the Dutton story continues with Dutton Ranch, focusing on Beth and Rip.

A sixth season was discussed, but the plan changed. Paramount moved forward with a new sequel instead of officially calling it Yellowstone Season 6.
