'Yellowstone' Season 5, Part 2: Start time, where to watch new episode dropping Sunday
Spoiler alert! This post discusses plot details from Episode 1 of Season 5 of "Yellowstone."
The second half of Season 5 of "Yellowstone" continues this Sunday with the release of a brand new episode.
The Dutton children continue to deal with the fallout of the death of their father, Governor John Dutton (Kevin Costner) after the season began with emergency crews at the governor's mansion. Beth (Kelly Reilly) and her brother Kayce (Luke Grimes) push through the police tape to see what's going on, only to see a handgun on the bathroom floor and blood. While the camera never show's John's face, you can see his body sprawled on the ground and the distraught look on his children's faces.
Costner played John Dutton since its 2018 Paramount Network premiere, but announced in June that he was not returning for what were billed as the final episodes. The actor was not among the countless Americans tuning in for the season's long-awaited premiere.
“I didn't see it," Costner told SiriusXM's "The Michael Smerconish Program" earlier this month. "I'm going to be perfectly honest. I didn't know it was actually airing last night. That's a swear-to-God moment. I swear to God. I've been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I'm thinking, ‘Gee, I'm not in that one.’ I'm not in this season."
Here's what to know about the next episode of "Yellowstone."

Beth Dutton will go ‘hurricane’ avenging John Dutton
In an interview with Paste BN published ahead of Season 5, Part 2, Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, said John Dutton’s most loyal offspring will be devastated by her father's soon-to-be-revealed dark fate.
"There's only so much a woman can take. He's the center of her soul," Reilly said. "What's that going to do to this woman? It's going to turn her into a hurricane."
Reilly said she has known how "Yellowstone" would end since the show started in 2018. Costner's premature departure has not fundamentally changed that course. "It wasn't supposed to happen so soon," she said. "But the fact that we got to return poetically to the show's authentic vision is satisfying."
