2024 Yellowstone Prequel: All the Latest Updates!

Yellowstone fans probably have some mixed emotions right now. While Yellowstone season 5 is set to be the finale of the hit western series, a Yellowstone sequel series has officially been ordered and is set to come out right on the heels of its predecessor. But just what is this Yellowstone sequel, tentatively titled 2024, going to entail?

We know that Taylor Sheridan is once again the main creative force behind 2024. There have been a few more tidbits, but there is still a lot of mystery around the show.

Still, we’ve gathered everything we can find about the Yellowstone sequel and have it for you right here in one spot. Read on to catch up on everything.

Yellowstone sequel release date

While it was previously announced that the Yellowstone sequel series release was going to come in December 2023, the writers’ and actors’ strikes for new labor agreements (the latter of which is still ongoing) made that impossible. So right now, we don’t have an official release date for 2024.

It is still believed, however, that 2024 will air following the conclusion of Yellowstone season 5. The final episodes of the flagship return November 2024, so it’s possible 2024 could premiere in December 2024 or shortly thereafter.

Yellowstone sequel plot

There are almost no specific details about what 2024 is going to be about, though producer David Glasser offered that the story will pick up where Yellowstone leaves off.

With many interesting plot developments still to be resolved in Yellowstone, that can mean a whole lot of things. What happens with the Dutton ranch? What happens with John and Jamie’s battle for the governorship? What about the cowboys being split up between Montana and Texas?

It’s all TBD at the moment.

Yellowstone sequel cast

Figuring out the plot of 2024 is going to give us an indication of who is going to make up the cast. At this time, only one thing seems certain — Kevin Costner’s John Dutton will not be part of the sequel series. Reportedly, it was scheduling issues related to Costner that contributed to Yellowstone 

It was previously reported that Matthew McConaughey was in talks to star, but there’s been no confirmation on if he or anyone else has been lined up for the cast.

It’s similar with other Yellowstone cast members. It is believed that the new series could bring members of the current Yellowstone cast along, among them being Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Wes Bentley and Gil Birmingham. But we don’t know at this time who, if any of them, will wind up in the new show.

Yellowstone sequel trailer

We’re a long way from a Yellowstone sequel trailer showing up. As soon as one does arrive, we’ll add it here.

How to watch Yellowstone

The Yellowstone sequel series’ TV home is going to be Paramount Network. The cable channel is available through traditional pay-TV services, though you may need to check to see which plans offer it. Many live TV streaming services also off the channel, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

Fans are also going to be able to stream it on Paramount Plus, which also carries the Taylor Sheridan-created series 1883, 1923, Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown.
