Yellowstone has not only become Paramount Network’s most successful show, but also the current most-watched TV show on cable television. The season four finale hit record numbers with nearly 10 million viewers.
Set in the scenic state of Montana, Yellowstone follows the Dutton family as they fight to protect their valuable ranch from outside forces.
The riveting modern-day Western drama stars Kevin Costner, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, and Kelsey Asbille.
The new season of Yellowstone will be airing on Paramount Network on November 13, 2022, at 8 pm ET. The premiere will be a 2+ hour special event.
Naturally, you would think that as the Paramount Network’s biggest show, Yellowstone would be available to watch on its own streaming service, Paramount+. However, this isn’t exactly the case.
Why Is Yellowstone Not on Paramount Plus?
Yellowstone seasons 1 – 5 are currently not available to watch on the Paramount+ streaming service in America. However, all seasons are available to watch on Paramount+ in the UK and Canada.
Bear in mind new Yellowstone season 5 episodes will be released on Paramount+ in the UK and Canada after they have been shown live. So, it is likely new episodes will be on the platform 1-2 hours after the shows start live in the US.
Yellowstone isn’t on Paramount+ in the US because NBCUniversal, the owners of Peacock, purchased the streaming rights to Yellowstone in 2020 before Paramount+ was released in 2021.
Yellowstone’s other spinoff and prequel series will also be available to watch on Paramount+. This includes 1923, 6666, and 1883: The Bass Reaves Story. While 6666 and 1883: The Bass Reaves Story don’t have release dates yet, 1923 will be coming to Paramount+ on December 18, 2022.

Freakin ridiculous....it's like Where's Waldo. I simply can't keep track of which network these shows are playing on. You need a schedule tracker just to be able to find it. I hate the whole damn industry at this point. Between paying for streaming services and then having them move the shows once you've paid, and then having to get yet another streaming service so you can see the end.....absolutely a rip off to the consumer. Keep playing this way and you won't have an audience anymore !!!!! Peckerheads !!!!

I would like to know if the guy that signed the paperwork with Peacock to the rights to Yellowstone, is still working at Viacom. Second, do these same people realize what a nimrod idea it is NOT to also air it on Paramount + and the millions of viewers they have LOST due to fat cat GREED!!! I guess I'll wait and watch it on Peacock for $5 a month. SOOOO much cheaper than all the rest. This is why people cut the cable cord.

Paramount WAS included on my Xfinity service but they dropped it this year! Now Paramount+ doesn't offer it after I subscribed to it last year to watch the series, now you have to have Peacock for the previous seasons and Paramount for the new season. This has to stop! It's really out of control!
