Yellowstone has received a premiere date for its first broadcast on its new TV home.
The Kevin Costner-fronted series aired on cable channel Paramount Network and streamed on Peacock, but due to studios needing content to fill schedules due to productions going on pause due to the writer and actor strikes, it’s coming to over-the-air channel CBS to air from the very beginning.
Deadline reports that the series will ‘premiere’ on Sunday, September 17 at 8.30pm. The network is expecting to air two episodes back-to-back every week, although that could be affected by football overrunning.
Meanwhile, the UK version of Ghosts will be broadcast on the channel on Thursdays from November 16, with an encore airing of an American episode at 8.30pm followed by a double bill of the UK show right after.
CBS will also be giving shows from fellow streamer Paramount+ a TV broadcast, with FBI True beginning on Tuesday, October 3 at 9pm, and SEAL Team beginning on Thursday, November 2 at 10pm.
Reality shows Big Brother, Buddy Games, The Challenge: USA, Survivor and The Amazing Race also make up a big part of CBS’ fall line-up.
It was announced earlier this year that the upcoming second half of Yellowstone’s fifth season will be the show’s last, although there are more spin-offs planned to join the existing series 1883 and more recently the Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren-led series, 1923.
Actress Kelly Reilly teased the finale of Yellowstone is likely to be a bittersweet one, stating: “The main theme of protecting and sustaining this way of life in this land is the bottom of everything.”
