Yellowstone season 5 part 2 will not be available for streaming on Paramount Plus. The well-known streaming service, which has been home to several popular shows and movies from various television networks over the years, will not include episodes from part 2 of Taylor Sheridan's American neo-Western drama series, Yellowstone season 5, as it currently does not possess the streaming rights to the same.

However, they can only access it at a later date, as it is anticipated that episodes will likely arrive four to five months later, based on the trends observed in the previous seasons of the show.

About the show

The American neo-Western drama television series, Yellowstone, is created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, with Sheridan and several other writers contributing to the script-wiring process. Subsequently, episodes of the series have been directed by Sheridan alongside various other directors.

Yellowstone follows the narrative of the Dutton family, the proprietors of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, the largest ranch in Montana. It also depicts the conflict among different members of the Dutton family over their rights to the ranch, and the involvement of several outsiders who are equally eager to stake their claims on the land.

The official synopsis of the show, as highlighted by Paramount Network, is as follows:

"This Western drama follows the many generations of the Dutton family through 1883, 1923 and the present day as they fight to acquire land in Montana and maintain a hold on their ranching empire."
