After five seasons and 50-plus episodes, Yellowstone is finally saying goodbye. Season 5, episode 14 is definitely the season finale and, in all likelihood, the series finale, too. If this is truly the end of Yellowstone, it marks the end of one of cable TV’s most popular shows. It kicked off Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe and spawned multiple spinoffs.

Before the show says farewell, there are still some loose ends to tie up. The fate of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch is still up in the air. Who will be in control by the end of the episode? The battle between Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Jamie (Wes Bentley) should come to an explosive end. Plus, the family will hold John Dutton’s funeral. For one last time, see how to watch the Yellowstone series finale below.
