    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    The long-awaited final installment of "Yellowstone" — featuring Kevin Costner 's final episodes — has been delayed until November 2024, the Paramount Network announced Thursday.

    Originally scheduled to return this month, Paramount says production was delayed by this year's strikes by actors and screenwriters. The first half of the fifth season debuted in November 2022.

    Paramount also announced two spin-offs, a prequel tentatively called "1944" and a sequel to the current series, called "2024." There's no word yet on any casting for either series.

    "Yellowstone" has been a phenomenon for Paramount Network. The premiere episode of season five was watched by 12.1 million people, more than for any other scripted series airing at the time.

    CBS also began airing "Yellowstone" from the beginning this fall to help fill out its primetime schedule due to the strikes, and 21.6 million people tuned in to season one. It's now begun airing season two.

    "Yellowstone" is a contemporary Western drama that follows the Duttons, a wealthy family in Montana that owns the largest ranch in the United States. Its patriarch is John Dutton III, played by Costner. It's created by Taylor Sheridan.

    Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan chat fame and friendship during BFI chat

    Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan may be juggling multiple releases and busy schedules, but the bright young stars managed to reunite on Wednesday in London for a conversation at the British Film Institute.

    The former co-stars met on Greta Gerwig's 2017 high school film "Lady Bird" and were paired up again several years later in her adaptation of "Little Women."

    Though professionally their lives have taken them in different directions, they've remained friends and will "dip back in every few years" to catch up, Ronan said.

    "That is what is so beautiful about this point in our lives, we're really lucky that the two of us are doing really well and our paths can continue to cross," Ronan added, as her husband, Jack Lowden supported from the audience.

    Both had busy years appearing in multiple film releases that are now vying for awards recognition.

    Chalamet took on the role of Bob Dylan in James Mangold's "A Complete Unknown," which is out Christmas day, and Ronan played a young alcoholic who tries to escape the depths of her addiction by moving home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland in "The Outrun."

    Chalamet also stepped back into the role of Paul Atreides in the epic sci-fi "Dune: Part Two," and Ronan starred in Steve McQueen's "Blitz."

    The audience watched back-to-back scenes of the collaborations with Gerwig. Chalamet quipped that a "Lady Bird scene is a lot better than I remember it being!"

    The conversation then shifted to their relationship with fame.

    Chalamet said it's the "most boring thing to talk about in my life."

    Ronan agreed: "I just pretended that all of that doesn't exist."
