One ‘Yellowstone’ castmember says the show has a ‘perfect ending’

The show's final batch of episodes has been delayed for more than a year

Over the course of its run as one of the most popular shows in America, Yellowstone has had its fair share of tumult. The show is returning for what is supposed to be its final season (although there have been rumors of more) without its central star, Kevin Costner.

Costner left the series over scheduling conflicts, and in spite of his absence, the cast and crew are still doing their part to get fans excited about the final season.

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” Luke Grimes told Entertainment Weekly. “I couldn’t be happier. I think it’s a perfect ending for the show for every character. It’s just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it’s a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can’t wait to sit down and watch it one day.”

Grimes, who plays Kayce on the show, said he waited as long as possible to read it. Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth, said Taylor Sheridan, the show’s creator, told her what the ending would be when they were filming season one.

The show last premiered new episodes in January of 2023, and fans have been eager for new episodes for more than 18 months. Thanks to delays with Sheridan’s writing as well as the actor’s strike, the season has been delayed past its once promised premiere date. As Reilly explained, though, they were eager to get back to making the show long before they ever did.

“We have such a huge following of fans who really are very emotionally connected to the show,” she explained. “Some of them are mad as hell that we’ve taken so long, but we’re like, ‘It’s not our fault! We wanted to go to work!’”

“I’ve been itching to get back to the show and I’m so glad it finally worked out and we got to finish strong,” Grimes added.

The final half of season 5 is set to premiere on Nov. 10.

The best shows on Max to stream in October
From new originals to the best shows in HBO history, these are great shows to stream on Max
Scene from Succession

HBO Max was one of the most popular streaming services in the world due to both the volume and the quality of the shows and movies on the platform. You've probably noticed when you log into HBO Max that the platform has been replaced by Max. What does this mean? WarnerMedia and Discovery have merged all of their content into one convenient location. You can still enjoy all of the shows like Succession and The Sopranos that were available on HBO Max, and this new streaming service also includes the kinds of reality shows that were available on Discovery+. Essentially, the libraries of the two services have been merged.
Whatever kind of show you're looking for, you're likely to find it on Max. From iconic dramas to some of the funniest comedies ever created, every show on this list is a must-watch, whether it's 30 years old or just came out this year. Here are the best Max shows.

Having a vast library of good television shows and films is the most important factor in the success of a streaming service. That's part of what transformed Netflix into a global phenomenon, and it's why services like Paramount Plus have worked hard to build a healthy library of series that subscribers can browse through. As is the case with all streaming services, Paramount+ has a mix of original series that live only on the platform and older shows that were originally on broadcast and have now found a home on streaming.
Although these shows have varied histories, each one of them is a great staple in Paramount Plus's overall streaming library. Paramount+ will likely continue to develop original content, but these Paramount Plus shows will stand the test of time, whether they're ongoing or have been over for a decade or longer.
