'Yellowstone' Season 5, Part 2 finale: Here's when the episode airs, how to watch, stream

It all comes down to this.

The fate of the Dutton Ranch will be revealed in the Season 5, Part 2 finale of "Yellowstone" this weekend.

While the episode is also expected to serve as the series finale, Rip and Beth will continue to ride on after "Yellowstone" ends, as Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) have reportedly finalized their deals to reprise their characters in a new "Yellowstone" spinoff.

Deadline.com first reported the news, and The Paramount Network did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The new series, which the reports said will include "Yellowstone" in its title, has long been discussed as a possibility following the official end of executive producer and creator Taylor Sheridan's cornerstone series. Reilly deflected when asked about appearing in the spinoff by USA TODAY in October.

"The truth is there is nothing definitive or set right now," Reilly said then. "We just want to end this chapter of 'Yellowstone' because it deserves it. We're talking a lot about the future, but I just want everyone to see these last six episodes as their finale. And then, if there is a future, and if Taylor (Sheridan) writes something else for us, we've both said we're there."

It's not clear which of the "Yellowstone" cast will join Rip and Beth, who have been joining forces with members of a Texas ranch, including a rogue-ish horse trader played by Sheridan, the show's creator and executive producer.
