Is Yellowstone season five being delayed until next year? We've been waiting almost a year for the second half of season five. Supposedly this will also serve as the final season of Yellowstone. Its one of my favorite shows on TV, and I know how much y'all love the show as well. If you just started watching the show, it looks like you'll have plenty of time to get caught up before new episodes start.

According to an article on Whiskey Riff, we probably won't see any new episodes until next year. There are a few reasons for that. First of all, Kevin Costner wants to focus on other projects he has in the works and doesn't want to shoot new episodes. Also the on-going writers strike in Hollywood is effecting shooting the final episodes of Yellowstone.

Originally, we were told that new episodes were coming in November, but I wouldn't hold my breath for that now. They were supposed to start shooting new episodes this summer, well thats not happening. So now it would appear that they probably won't start shooting until the spring, and that would put the premiere of new episodes in the fall of 2024. Thats another whole year away!

However, you will still be able to get your new Yellowstone fix. Another prequel called "1944" is on the way. I've also heard there will be another season of the latest Yellowstone prequel "1923". Also there is a Yellowstone spin-off featuring Matthew McConaughey that is also still in the works. If you want to read the full article from Whiskey Riff, just click here.

Ranking Our Favorite Ten ‘Yellowstone’ Characters

The Paramount TV show Yellowstone is currently filming its fifth season and has been a fan favorite since day one.

The show, starring Kevin Costner, sparked a prequel 1883, which stars country music royalty Tim McGraw and Faith Hil. But Yellowstone features a constant soundtrack of country music featuring songs from McGraw, Chris Stapleton, and many more. Not to mention the poster of Miranda Lambert that hangs on the door of the "bunk house" at Yellowstone, where so many great scenes and story plots take place.

Watching the show, it's easy to fall in love with many of the characters, and it's also easy to hate some of them for their dirty deeds.

We rank our favorite Top 10 characters of what is being called the best cowboy soap opera to hit television since Dallas first premiered in the early 1980s.

10 – Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly

Beth is one of the most evil characters we've seen in a TV show in a while. She seems to set out each day to ruin someone's life for her father (John Dutton) and seems rather proud of it. However, even though she's evil, it's hard to hate her as she seems so passionate, and her love story with Rip Wheeler is quite touching.


9 – Jamie Dutton, played by Wes Bentley

The jury is still out on whether this character is good or bad, it's hard not to feel sorry for the guy as his sister (Beth) demolishes him almost daily, and his father (John) doesn't show the guy much compassion at all.


8 - Tribal Chairman Thomas Rainwater, played by Gil Birmingham

He is a solid character fighting for his people and his people's land. The chairman pushes the boundaries of right and wrong but never strays too far from his moral core.


7 – Monica Long Dutton, played by Kelsey Asbille

Casey Dutton's wife and mother to young Tate Dutton, Monica, is on the side of the right and fights for good. Monica does change her mind often, though, and in our opinion, is a bit wishy-washy.


6 – Tate Dutton, played by Brecken Merrill

This character is super cute and brings out only the best in his grandfather John Dutton, who walks a thin line between good and evil in every episode.


5 – Walker, played by Ryan Bingham

A side character but one of our favorites as he sings and plays guitar in every episode he's in. He's a tough guy who has done time in prison, and he's often fighting another cowboy, he seems to be one of the good guys.


4 – Jimmy Hurdstrom, played by Jefferson White

At first, Jimmy is awkward and isn't that appealing, but with each season, you grow to love him more and more as he works toward being a good cowboy and a good man.


3 – Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser

Rip is fun to hate in the show's first season as he kills more people than a member of the New York mafia. As you get to know him better in the later seasons with his true love of Beth and unwavering loyalty to John Dutton, he becomes quite attractive in a rugged cowboy way.


2 – John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner

The show's main character, whom you find yourself rooting for even when he is having people killed (and there are many). While he appears to pick the right side of what to do to save his beloved land and family, he clearly has a bit of evil in him. He stops at nothing to do what he believes is the right thing to do, even if it really isn't.


1 – Casey Dutton, played by Luke Grimes

This character is the show's good guy and the person you are always rooting for in the show. While he doesn't comb his hair much and does his share of ending lives, he is an adorable father, husband, and son. He is clearly the best man in the Dutton family.
