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 ended on December 15, 2024, after five seasons consisting of 53 episodes. It stars Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, and Gil Birmingham in main roles. The plot follows the conflicts along the shared borders of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation, Yellowstone National Park, and land developers.
In 2013, Sheridan began work on the series, having recently grown tired of acting, and switched to screenwriting. Having lived in the rural parts of states such as Texas and Wyoming, Sheridan set the series in Montana and the first episodes in Livingston. Sheridan initially pitched the series to HBO, but the network declined. In May 2017, Paramount Network announced that it had greenlit its first scripted series, Yellowstone, and that it would be written, directed, and executive-produced by Sheridan.
The series became the first in the Yellowstone television franchise that includes the prequel series 1883 (2021–2022) and 1923 (2022–2025) and the upcoming sequel series The Madison, while multiple other spin-offs remain in various stages of development.
Premise
The series follows the Dutton family, owners of the largest cattle ranch in Montana, the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, commonly called "the Yellowstone". The plot revolves around family drama at the ranch and the bordering Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Yellowstone National Park, and land developers.{{Cite web |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=May 3, 2017 |title= Paramount Network Orders First Scripted Drama Series: Family Saga 'Yellowstone' From Taylor Sheridan & Weinstein Co. |url=https://deadline.com/2017/05/paramount-network-yellowstone-first-scripted-drama-series-taylor-sheridan-weinstein-co-1202082335/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180117021722/http://deadline.com/2017/05/paramount-network-yellowstone-first-scripted-drama-series-taylor-sheridan-weinstein-co-1202082335/ |archive-date=January 17, 2018 |access-date=January 11, 2018 |website=Deadline Hollywood}}
