The upcoming episodes will reunite viewers with our favourite family of Montana cattle ranchers, The Duttons - and it looks like they're ready for war! "We'll show the world who we are and what we do," Kevin Costner's character ominously intones over the 15-second clip. Check it out below…

At the very end of the clip, it was revealed that season five will differ from previous seasons in a major way as it will feature a two-hour premiere episode. Confirming the exciting news, the official Twitter account for the series posted: "Did you catch the #YellowstoneTV tease during the @VMAS? Who's ready for season 5?! Don't miss the two-hour premiere event Nov. 13, only on @ParamountNet."

The announcement sent fans into overdrive, and for many, it proved too much as they were soon lamenting how far away the release date is. One wrote: "Ah man, why does the wait have to be so long!"

Another wrote: "A two hour premiere? Well, now I'm excited. Is it November yet?" and a third added: "It's too early for me to be this excited!!! It's close yet so far away."

Season five will kick off with a two-hour premiere

A number of additions have been made to the season five cast, including American Horror Story star Kai Caster, Your Honor's Lilli Kay, country singer Lainey Wilson and Dawn Olivieri - who portrayed Claire Dutton in prequel series 1883

It's also been revealed that Josh Lucas will be back to portray Young John Dutton, which hopefully means that we'll see more of the Dutton patriarch's mysterious past, alongside Kylie Rogers and Kyle Red Silverstein, who play Young Beth Dutton and Young Rip Wheeler.

On top of all that, Jacki Weaver will also be back and Mo Brings Plenty and Wendy Moniz, who have been recurring on the show since the start, have been promoted to series regulars for the new season.
