Despite the swirling rumors and rampant speculation, Kevin Costner is saddling up for the final episodes of Yellowstone, as evidenced by the newly released trailer from Paramount Network. The network revealed the explosive preview, giving fans a glimpse of what to expect when the hit series returns on Sunday, November 10th at 8PM ET/PT. Consider the speculation officially lassoed and put to rest.
For those who may have missed the months of media frenzy, the question of Costner’s involvement in the concluding chapters of Yellowstone has been a major point of contention. Now, we have a definitive answer: John Dutton is back, and judging by the trailer, he’s not going down without a fight.
The trailer itself offers a rapid-fire montage of classic Yellowstone drama: shifting alliances, simmering resentments, and enough cowboy hats to outfit a small Western town. The Duttons, as always, are at the center of the storm, struggling to maintain control of their sprawling Montana ranch amidst a sea of encroaching threats. The expanding town, the neighboring Indian reservation, and America’s first national park continue to be thorns in their side, promising a showdown of epic proportions.
Beyond the Costner confirmation, the trailer hints at plenty of unresolved storylines. Unsolved murders, open wounds (both literal and figurative), and the ever-present struggle for respect suggest that the final episodes will be anything but peaceful. Whether the series can stick the landing after such a tumultuous production run is another matter entirely. But at least we now know who will be present for the final ride.
Yellowstone is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. It’s the brainchild of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, Hell or High Water, Sicario) and John Linson. Executive producers include John Linson, Art Linson, Taylor Sheridan, Kevin Costner, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, Stephen Kay, Michael Friedman, Christina Voros, and Keith Cox. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
