“Yellowstone” was one of the highlights of the MTV Video Music Awards 2022. What’s the nexus between “Yellowstone ” and MTV VMA you might ask? Well, Paramount Network chose the award night and platform to release a teaser video for its upcoming season 5. Cheers, applause, and screams filled the room as the crowd soaked in the news of the much-awaited new season.

The American neo-western TV series has gained massive popularity since hitting the screens on June 20, 2018. So far it’s aired four seasons with the record-breaking finale of the fourth season airing on January 2, 2022.

“Yellowstone continues to shatter records with more than 11 million viewers tuning in for the season finale, proving we’ve hit a cultural nerve—from the center of the country to each of the coasts—and still have lots of room to grow on linear,” said the president and CEO of ViacomCBS Media Networks, Chris McCarthy.

One of the issues surrounding Season 4 of the Paramount Network juggernaut Yellowstone was how often it would switch storylines and lose focus. While showrunner Taylor Sheridan may look comfortable in a cowboy hat, creatively, he may have worn too many hats this past year, working on at least three shows concurrently. Season 4 not only spent time setting up proposed spin-off 6666, but often gave flashbacks of the Dutton clan in 1883, basically using Season 4 as advertising for all his other shows (other than Paramount+’s unrelated Mayor of Kingstown). Yet, there might be hope for Yellowstone Season 5.

With the premiere seasons of 1883 and Kingstown essentially finished and under Sheridan’s large-buckled belt, it seems like he can once again focus solely on the visceral story beats to which Yellowstone fans became accustomed. So once Season 5 hits, what can we expect? While there weren’t any massive cliff-hangers similar to the end of...
