Season Five Ratings

The fifth season of Yellowstone averages a 1.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.21 million viewers. Compared to season four, that’s up by 4{aa83d2d274e5cebe1bf02c48557a30262dc5b65c32a1a77feb451c1419135e41} in the demo and up by 5{aa83d2d274e5cebe1bf02c48557a30262dc5b65c32a1a77feb451c1419135e41} in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will Paramount Network cancel or renew Yellowstone for season six? This series has been a big hit for the channel and has inspired spin-offs. As long as Taylor Sheridan wants to continue, I do not doubt that the series will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
