In what has become the standard playbook for a popular television series, "Yellowstone" was given a slightly longer final season that was ultimately split into two parts separated by a year. 

So the final six episodes of Season 5 began dropping weekly beginning Nov. 13 and will conclude the Dutton family saga. Of course, some of the planned spinoffs could extend the narrative in the future.

The show is without Kevin Costner, who departed after the first half of the fifth season. So what does that mean? Host Bruce Miller shares his thoughts as well as interviews with Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie Dutton; Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton; and Kelsey Asbille, who plays Monica Long Dutton.

Also, be sure to check out the first installment of a new series of articles from Lee Enterprises that looks at real-life connections to the show. 

The first article, Fact vs. fiction: A livestock investigator explains the reality not seen on 'Yellowstone,' looks at the real role served by one of Montana's livestock investigators.
