The midseason finale is on January 6, 2023 and will usher in the series finale.
The final episodes close the book on the current story of the Dutton family. After ending with a game-changing plot twist involving Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), his sister Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and family patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner), the second half of the season was originally scheduled to takes place this fall. But production was first delayed by a scheduling dispute over Costner’s status with the show and then by writers’ and actors’ strikes, which led to a scripted production halt.
The flagship series in the Costner-led franchise is the latest show to reboot following the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which on November 9 allowed actors to return to work.
It is unclear whether Costner will appear in the final episodes or not.
