Yellowstone
An American drama television series created by Taylor Sheridan and
John Linson that premiered on June 20, 2018 on the Paramount
Network. It stars Kevin Costner, Wes Bentley,
Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser,
and Gil Birmingham. Yellowstone follows the Dutton family, led by
John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. The
ranch is under constant attack by those it borders land developers, an Indian
reservation, and United States of America's first national park. It is an
intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny, where land grabs earn
developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest
oil, natural gas, and lumber corporations. Where unsolved murders are not news,
they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst
of the United States as seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.
