Yellowstone season 5 premiere reveals shocking twist

Yellowstone spoilers follow.

Yellowstone aired a shocking twist in the premiere of season five as Kayce’s season four vision comes to fruition.

At the end of last season, Kayce (Luke Grimes) went on a vision quest after going through an existential crisis. He came away with the vision having seen “the end of us”.

In the season premiere, Kayce pursues a pack of horse thieves before they cross the Canadian border. Meanwhile, his wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) sits at home experiencing painful contractions three weeks before her baby is due.

Monica ends up losing her baby son, who was only alive for an hour. Tate explains to his grandfather that Monica named the baby John before he died. The incident marked a tragic and startling return to Yellowstone, which is now in its fifth season.

There has been no official renewal of the Western TV series as of yet, so it’s unsure if a sixth season will happen. However, there is plenty of other content for Yellowstone fans to sink their teeth into as the Taylor Sheridan universe continues to expand.
