Our money is on more than one of the rich, dysfunctional Duttons not surviving the second half of Yellowstone’s fifth and final season. Television’s most intriguing ranch family digs in when the wild ride of life tries to buck them off, and as fans, we can’t get enough of their struggles. The ratings are unheard of in today’s fractured viewing landscape. Plus, the saga has spawned three spinoffs (so far). In its last season, the contemporary Western’s first eight episodes hardened battle lines and brilliantly set up the ultimate showdown for the cattle-ranching clan when they return (fingers crossed for 2024!) to bust more lips and more ratings. A staggering 17 million watched the fifth-season premiere. Then, CBS gave millions of broadcast TV viewers a dose of the Duttons by rerunning the launch season during the Hollywood actors’ and writers’ strikes.
