The show's follow-up season will feature some significant changes as it moves filming away from Brute, Montana, not far from where the show is set. The team have now relocated to ATX Studios in Austin, Texas, where eight new episodes will be filmed.
Season two will also see a host of new faces join the cast, including This Is Us star Janet Montgomery and Dexter's Jennifer Carpenter.
Montgomery will play recurring character Hillary, who is described as "a thoughtful woman who does not want to see injustice go unpunished", while Carpenter is set to portray US Deputy Marshall Mamie Fossett.
Yellowstone returns for season 5 part 2 on Sunday, November 10 in the US and Monday, November 11 in the UK. It streams on Paramount+.
