As fans tune in to watch the final new episodes of "Yellowstone" Season 5 part 2, one thing is still confusing some viewers. "Yellowstone" airs on Paramount Network, as it has since it premiered in 2018. However, episodes do not stream on Paramount Plus, even though some other Paramount Network properties do.
The best place to watch new episodes of Yellowstone for free online is Philo, which is one of the most economical streaming platforms -- offering a free 7-day trial and a monthly subscription starting at $28. All old seasons of Yellowstone are available exclusively on Peacock.
Formerly known by many names including TNN and Spike, Paramount Network's owners signed an agreement with NBCUniversal in early 2020 to allow Peacock to be the exclusive streaming partner for completed seasons of the show. Paramount+, the rebranding of CBS All Access, didn't launch until 2021.
What "Yellowstone" related shows are on Paramount+?
While "Yellowstone" is not on Paramount+, some fans might be confused due to the fact that many other shows from "Yellowstone's" creator Taylor Sheridan are. These include hits like "Tulsa King" and "Mayor of Kingstown" as well as the new show "Landman."
You can also watch both "Yellowstone" prequel shows on the service.
"1883," which stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, focuses on the Dutton family's early days moving to Montana and establishing the ranch. "1923'' stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren and looks at the family dealing with challenges to the ranch during the time of Prohibition and the Great Depression.
Once "Yellowstone" Season 5 part 2 finishes its run, it will also be available exclusively on Peacock. However, the new sequel series to the show, "The Madison," stars Michelle Pfeiffer and will stream on Paramount+.
