Yellowstone – the most watched show on cable TV – returns for its highly anticipated fifth season on November 13.

Fans of the modern western have been anxiously awaiting season five for nearly a year, especially since the season four finale ended on a cliffhanger.

It appears that John Dutton's (Kevin Costner ) campaign for Montana governor was successful, according to the much discussed season five teaser that recently premiered. Costner launched the Yellowstone season five trailer directly on his Instagram with two simple words: "I'm ready."

Fans are ready, too, as the season four finale of Yellowstone generated an audience of over 15 million. Now, as the season five debut quickly approaches, audiences are wondering how to tune in. Accordingly, here's how to watch Yellowstone season 5 episodes:

#1 The Paramount Network

The Paramount Network is the best source to catch new episodes of Yellowstone if you have cable TV. It's the official network of the TV series and will therefore premiere new episodes each Sunday, beginning November 13.

Season five opens with a two-hour premiere, scheduled to air at 8pm (ET/PT). Even better, the new season will run longer than previous installments as season five is slated for 14 episodes. Therefore, the season five finale will not air live until February-March 2023.

#2 Peacock

Despite Yellowstone airing on The Paramount Network, new episodes (as well as older seasons) are not available on Paramount+. Therefore, those looking to stream Yellowstone will need to turn to Peacock.

NBCUniversal owns the streaming rights to the series which is why all previous episodes are only available on Peacock. However, you will not be able to watch new episodes, only seasons 1-4.

#3 Amazon Prime Video

Yellowstone episodes are available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video. Fans have the option of purchasing single episodes or an entire season. Single episodes cost audiences $1.99 while full seasons are available at $19.99.

Secondly, streaming audiences may also want to consider Philo, iTunes, and DirectTV. Each service offers its own subscription packages and prices. Feel free to shop around for the best deal or sign-up for a free trial.

Eventually, new episodes will be available on Peacock but for now, you'll have to pay extra unless you have cable TV. In the past, Peacock has dropped an entire season a couple of weeks before the finale.

Conclusion

The three options for watching Yellowstone's season five episodes are The Paramount Network, Peacock, and pay-per-episode services like Amazon Prime Video. It's a little confusing that Yellowstone episodes are not on Paramount+. Instead, fans looking to stream should turn to Peacock.
