Fans waiting for the Yellowstone Season 5 premiere will be waiting a bit – but thankfully not as long as the two-year gap between the third and fourth seasons.
Executive producer David Glasser revealed the possible release date for Yellowstone season 5 in an interview with Variety. He said the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, was hard at work on the scripts.
“It’s the best of the show,” Glasser said. “I think the show is still maturing and there are still a lot of stories to tell. I know with Taylor he has a lot to say and a lot to write. He’s immersed in Season 5 of Yellowstone now. He’s got some amazing ideas that he’s shared that I think the audience is going to be really excited about.”

And fans can rejoice that season 5 probably won’t be among the canceled shows anytime soon. As Glasser said, “There are still a lot of stories to tell.” Then again, don’t expect it to pull off a Grey’s Anatomy and run for 19 seasons. Sheridan has already said The New York Times, “There’s not much you can do before the story starts to lose its locomotion; you can’t stall it just because it’s successful. It’ll take that long. years it will take me to tell the story, but you “I won’t see nine seasons of it. No way.”
