What happens

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. Sheridan began developing the series in 2013 after becoming dissatisfied with acting and shifting his focus to screenwriting. Drawing from his experiences living in rural Texas and Wyoming, he set the series in Montana. He initially pitched it to HBO, which declined the project. In May 2017, Paramount Network ordered Yellowstone as its first scripted series, with Sheridan serving as writer, director of several episodes, and executive producer. The series became the first installment in the Yellowstone franchise, which has since expanded to include the prequel series 1883 (2021–2022) and 1923 (2022–2025), as well as the spin-offs Marshals (2026–present) and Dutton Ranch (2026–present). Additional spin-offs remain in various stages of development. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
