Kevin Costner may be hanging up his cowboy hat after Season 5, but Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe will live on. Between plans for more prequel series and a new spinoff set to premiere within a month of the Yellowstone Season 5 finale, there’s clearly no shortage of Yellowstone stories to tell. If you’d like to commiserate over the looming loss of the Dutton family patriarch — or celebrate Matthew McConaughey’s potential Yellowstone debut in the spinoff series — why not rewatch the hit Paramount Network series all the way from the start, as in, 1883…
Here’s how to watch Yellowstone and all its spinoffs in the right order, plus a hack for how to watch Yellowstone Season 5 totally free.

A $5 monthly Peacock subscription is all you’ll need to stream past seasons of ‘Yellowstone.’ On top of access to the blockbuster cable hit, the streaming platform is the easiest way to watch most live sports and events airing on NBC, not to mention thousands of hours of shows and movies, including beloved sitcoms such as ‘Parks and Recreation’ and ‘The Office,’ and even recent theatrical releases like ‘Cocaine Bear’ and ‘Megan.’ For $10 a month you can upgrade to an ad-free subscription which includes live access to your local NBC affiliate (not just during designated sports and events) and the ability to download select titles to watch offline.
How to watch Yellowstone Season 5
The fifth and final season of Yellowstone was split up into two parts. Part 1 (aka the first eight Season 5 episodes) is set to drop on Peacock on May 25, 2023. (Part 2 won’t be available on any platform till November.)

Yellowstone timeline explained
While the hit show Yellowstone may have come out first, the Dutton family tree goes back much further than the Paramount show’s premiere. The series has two prequel stories out now, 1883 and 1923. There are also reportedly several more Yellowstone sequels in the works. With the original series coming to a close after Season 5, and an already-announced sequel slated for release in December 2023, here’s a quick refresher on where (and in what order) to watch Yellowstone and its subsequent spinoffs.
1883
Starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, this Yellowstone prequel series follows members of the Dutton family as they travel west across the Great Plains towards Montana. All eight episodes of this limited series are currently streaming on Paramount+.
