Needless to say, fans took to social media to share their frustration. One person wrote on Twitter: "If #Yellowstone isn't coming back for the rest of season 5 for another 6 months, then just call it season six, not a 'mid-season finale', whatever that is."
A second said: "Can I start a petition to STOP mid-season finales? @YellowstoneTV won't be back until summer?! @Yellowstone I'm going to need you to quit the attitude. Thanks. #YellowStone."

Piper Perabo, who plays Summer Higgins in the drama, spoke to TV Insider about the future of the show and its plot. "There's a lot coming. Things are on the move," she began.
"I can't wait to get back to the back half just because I want to know what happens. I personally only know what happens up to the midseason finale up to that last second, and I don't know what happens when we come back." Looks like fans are going to have to be patient!

Meanwhile, the Yellowstone franchise has been a huge success, prompting multiple spin-offs and prequels. More recently, Paramount+ began streaming its new series, 1923, starring Dame Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.
For those who are yet to tune into the new show, which was released exclusively on the streaming platform on December 18, the synopsis reads: "1923, the next installment of the Dutton family origin story, will introduce a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob and matriarch Cara.
"The series will explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home."
