The Complicated Streaming Saga of Yellowstone: Here’s How to Watch Season 5 Part 2
If you’re trying to catch up on Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, you might be scratching your head over where to stream it. Despite airing on the Paramount Network, the hit show isn’t available on Paramount Plus and likely never will be due to a complicated web of streaming contracts. Here’s what you need to know.
Why Isn’t “Yellowstone” on Paramount Plus?
In a surprising twist, Yellowstone is not part of Paramount Plus’ lineup. This unusual situation stems from a 2020 licensing deal between Paramount’s owners and NBCUniversal, granting Peacock exclusive streaming rights to completed seasons of Yellowstone.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean new episodes show up on Peacock the day after airing either. Peacock only streams full seasons after they’ve concluded, leaving fans without an immediate streaming option for the latest episodes.
Where Can I Watch “Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2?
While streaming options for Yellowstone remain limited, you can still watch Season 5 Part 2 through live TV services that carry the Paramount Network. These services also provide on-demand access to new episodes for a limited time.
Here are the best options:
- Philo: Affordable and includes DVR functionality.
- FuboTV: Offers live TV and on-demand episodes, with a free trial available.
- DirecTV Stream: Features live and on-demand options, plus DVR.
Each service allows you to record episodes for later viewing and offers free trials for new subscribers.
Can I Stream Previous Seasons of “Yellowstone”?
If you’re looking to binge earlier episodes, Seasons 1–4 and Season 5 Part 1 are available on Peacock. During Black Friday, Peacock subscriptions are heavily discounted, making it a budget-friendly choice for catching up.
Where to Watch “Yellowstone” Spinoffs Like “1883” and “1923”
While Yellowstone itself isn’t on Paramount Plus, its spinoffs are exclusively available there:
- “1883”: The prequel series is only on Paramount Plus.
- “1923”: Another prequel starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, also exclusive to Paramount Plus.
Future spinoffs like “1944” and “6666” will also stream on Paramount Plus.
