What happened on “The Challenge” last season?

Fans can watch Yellowstone Seasons 1-4 and Season 5, Part 1 on-demand with fuboTV or Peacock.

It’s been almost two years since the explosive midseason finale of “Yellowstone” left fans on the edge of their seats.

In the final episode, titled “A Knife and No Coin,” fans were given a glimpse into Rip’s early days on the ranch through flashbacks. We saw a young Rip, under the guidance of young John Dutton, dispose of a cowboy’s body at the infamous “railway station.” This dark secret forged a lifelong bond between the two men.

In the present day, tensions were high as Rip prepared to lead a cattle drive to Texas while Beth said an emotional goodbye. Meanwhile, Jamie, now attorney general, took a bold step by attempting to impeach his father, Gov. John Dutton, for cutting off funding for an airport project.

Beth violently confronts Jamie about the betrayal and tries to blackmail him with evidence of his own misdeeds, but Jamie reveals the family’s long history of covering up murders, leaving them in a stalemate. As the argument between the siblings reaches a boiling point, John finds himself caught in the middle.

Amid the chaos, John asked Kayce and Monica to move to the ranch to help him oversee operations while he’s in the capital. Monica agreed, hoping to secure Yellowstone as a legacy for her son Tate.

But questions are emerging about the show’s return. Will Jamie succeed in accusing John? Can Beth and Jamie’s relationship ever be repaired? And what does the future hold for the Duttons and their beloved ranch?

What is “Yellowstone” about?

According to the official series synopsis, “Oscar and Emmy winner Kevin Costner is the main ensemble attraction of this drama series, playing the patriarch of a powerful, complicated ranching family.” John Dutton, a sixth-generation settler and devoted father, controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and timber companies and land grabs bring in billions for developers. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-won respect, Dutton’s estate is in constant conflict with those it borders – a growing city, an Indian reservation and America’s first national park.”

What are the differences between the streaming services?

Philo is the best place to watch the Yellowstone Season 5 premiere and the entire season. It includes a one-week free trial so you can watch the premiere completely free, and is the cheapest live TV streaming service at just $28 per month after your trial for over 70 popular channels including Paramount Network, AMC, A&E, BET and more.

fuboTV also offers a 7-day free trial and includes Paramount Network, but the monthly fee is $59.99 for the first month and $79.99 after that. However, fubo offers sports and local channels that are not available on Philo.

Sling is another affordable option, costing just $20 for the first month. However, viewers must add the $6 Entertainment Extra package to get Paramount Network. Still, it’s technically your cheapest option here. It simply doesn’t include a free trial.

DirecTV Stream costs $86.98 per month on its cheapest package and includes a five-day free trial and Paramount Network. Hulu + Live TV doesn’t offer a free trial, but it currently costs $59.99 for three months.
