The “Yellowstone” cast came together for a mini-reunion over the Thanksgiving holiday.

The show’s still photographer, Emerson Miller, shared a smiling photo of several cast and crew members of the hit cowboy series on Thursday, Nov. 29.

“Gente, ‘Merry’ Thanksgiving. From my familia to yours. With so much love,” Miller captioned the group photo.

Several of the “Yellowstone” cast members reunited for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan in the festive image, which also included the show’s stars Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton), Ian Bowen (Ryan) and Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater).

The cast’s significant others were also present and posed in the gleeful group shot. Grimes’ wife, Bianca Rodrigues, stood front and center in the pic while cradling their newborn baby.

The star, 40, and Rodrigues, 28, welcomed their son last month after tying the knot in Nov. 2018.

Sadly, one noticeable star was not in attendance for the reunion.

The gang got back together on Thanksgiving.

Kevin Costner (who played John Dutton) did not partake in the holiday with his former co-stars after leaving the show in Part 1 of Season 5 in 2022. 

The “Yellowstone” cast appeared cheerful during the get-together despite all the backlash surrounding the final season of the series — especially when it came to Costner’s exit.

The 69-year-old actor’s patriarch character was killed off in the first episode of Season 5B after confirming his departure in June following speculation of a feud with Sheridan.

He did not appear in the final season premiere on Nov. 13, leading many viewers to wonder how they’d write off his character — and they weren’t ready for how John Dutton went out.

A hit man fatally shot John, and it was made to look like a suicide. Fans later find out that the girlfriend of his son Jamie (Wes Bentley) orchestrated his murder plot.

Fans were less than thrilled with the outcome.

Costner addressed the drama surrounding his character’s death on SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program” just hours after the episode aired.

The actor revealed he “didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” admitting he was confused by all the ads featuring his face.

“That’s a swear-to-God moment. I swear to God,” he explained. “I mean, I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ I’m not in this season. But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing. Somebody said, ‘It played last night?’ And I said, ‘Hmm, okay.’ So no, I found out about it this morning actually.”

When asked how he felt about John’s death, Costner said, “I didn’t see it. I heard it’s a suicide. That doesn’t make me wanna rush to go see it.”

Part 2 of Season 5 is rumored to be the final for the series. However, there is speculation that a Season 6 about Beth and Rip could be in the works, with one of the show’s stars hinting to The Post exclusively that Season 5 might not be the last.

There is also several “Yellowstone” spinoffs in the works, including an upcoming one called “The Madison” starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

“Yellowstone” airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on Paramount Network.
