The trailer opens with archive footage of John Dutton reflecting on how the ranch has been in his family for generations.

Will The Duttons Lose In Yellowstone Season 5?
The End Of The Show Could Be The End Of The Yellowstone Dutton Ranch
Over the course of four-and-a-half seasons,Yellowstone’s Dutton familyhas had many goals that have frequently conflicted with one another, butone of their primary motivations has been to maintain ownership of the ranchdespite many external forces attempting to take it away from them. However, this teaser reveals that the absence of their patriarch leaves them more vulnerable to these forces than they have ever been before. It is entirely possible that the show’s finale could see them losing the ranch they have fought so hard to keep over the years.
It remains to be seen how the story plays out as the long-running show draws to a close. The loss of the ranch would be incalculably important to the franchise as a whole, asits formation was the storyline at the center of the show’s first prequel spinoff,1883, and the follow-up,1923,is set during another historical epoch amid the Duttons' occupation of the property. However, the glimpses of the remainingYellowstonecastoffered by the teaser showcase mounting tensions and shifting loyalties that could see all or most of them eventually leaving the ranch behind permanently.
AnotherYellowstoneprequel spinoff series titled1944is reportedly in development, though it remains to be seen if it comes to fruition.
Clues to the fate of theYellowstoneranch may be hidden in the premise of the in-development spinoffThe Madison. While details are murky, the show follows the wealthy Clyburn family moving to Montana after the death of their father. It is unclear how connected the show will be to the original show, but it is possible that they could be moving to the newly vacated ranch, should it have fallen out of the Duttons' hands by that point in the franchise timeline.
