(In retrospect, that may have been an especially bad bet.) In this case, that meant Paramount's biggest show isn't on Paramount Plus at all. Paramount placed a bet a while ago - before it was clear just how big Yellowstone would get - that some top-shelf programs could be more valuable if they're available somewhere other than Paramount Plus.
Having a hit show on a traditional cable channel like Paramount Network is a big business, and so is the revenue generated by licensing shows to other services. If the series were to end with the fifth season's finale later this year, the Paramount Network's biggest hit will have lived and died without ever touching Paramount Plus.Īs confusing as that is, it was somewhat by design. If you want to catch up on the previous seasons, you'll need to pay for rival streaming service Peacock, which has an exclusive deal to be the only subscription service streaming Yellowstone.īut you won't find any Yellowstone on Paramount Plus, except spinoffs. If you want to watch the new season, the Paramount Network app or website will be your only streaming option for months. But, counterintuitively, the one show most associated with the Paramount name is nowhere to be found on Paramount Plus. Of course, Paramount Plus would seem like the natural place to turn to for anyone hoping to stream season 5 and the show's past episodes. (Paramount said in statement that it has no news to report regarding Yellowstone continuation or conclusion and that "Costner is a big part of Yellowstone," something the company said it hopes will be "the case for a long time to come.")
And, reportedly, it's possible this fifth season could be its last: According to Deadline, Paramount and creator Taylor Sheridan are plotting a potential end to the series in the midst of difficult contract negotiations with star Kevin Costner. The show is currently on hiatus, taking a break between its midseason finale on New Year's Day and its return sometime in the middle of year with the second half of the season. Its fifth-season premiere in November drew the biggest audience of any TV show last year. Yellowstone isn't just Paramount Network's biggest show - it's the biggest hit of its kind on all cable television.
