Why Yellowstone season 5 is split
Yellowstone season 5 aired in two parts. Part 1, episodes 1 to 8, ran from November 2022 to January 2023, and part 2, episodes 9 to 14, ran from November to December 2024. 1923 season 1 premiered in December 2022, and 1923 season 2 followed in February 2025.
Release order follows that, which is why the list cuts Yellowstone and 1923 into parts and moves between them.
Chronological order
Story order follows the Dutton family through time: 1883, then 1923, then Yellowstone, then the newer spin-offs Marshals and Dutton Ranch. 1944 is announced but not out yet. It suits a rewatch.
Marshals and Dutton Ranch
Marshals premiered in March 2026 and Dutton Ranch in May 2026. The second season of Marshals premiered in October 2026, so it is still airing.

Yellowstone watch order questions
What order should I watch Yellowstone in?
Release order: Yellowstone seasons 1 to 4, 1883, Yellowstone season 5 part 1, 1923 season 1, Yellowstone season 5 part 2, 1923 season 2, then Marshals and Dutton Ranch.
Should I watch 1883 and 1923 before Yellowstone?
Only on a rewatch. In story order 1883 comes first, then 1923, then Yellowstone, but newcomers do better starting with Yellowstone.
Why is Yellowstone season 5 in two parts?
It aired in two parts two years apart: episodes 1 to 8 in late 2022 and early 2023, and episodes 9 to 14 in late 2024.
Do I need to watch 1883 before 1923?
1883 comes first in the family's story and 1923 continues it, so watching them in that order makes sense, but each tells its own story.
The order and the core, optional and save-for-later marks are the ones the emberslate app uses for this saga. Titles, years and runtimes come from TMDB; series runtimes count aired episodes only and are rounded. First published .
