Yellowstone is a neo-Western drama following the Dutton family, who control the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. Patriarch John Dutton fights to defend the property against land developers, a neighbouring reservation, and the pressures of an adjacent national park — all while managing the fractures within his own family. Fans of the show tend to seek out the same satisfactions elsewhere: contested land, strained bloodlines, and landscapes that carry as much dramatic weight as the people moving through them.
Yellowstone is an American neo-Western drama television series created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson for Paramount Network. The series premiered on June 20, 2018, and concluded on December 15, 2024, after five seasons comprising 53 episodes. It stars Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, and Gil Birmingham. The series follows the conflicts surrounding the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch along the borders of the neighboring Broken Rock Indian reservation, Yellowstone National Park, and land development interests, while also focusing on the Dutton family's internal conflicts.
