Yellowstone has become one of the biggest shows on television. The season 4 finale ratings hit a new series high with 9.3 million total viewers.

Showrunner Tyler Sheridan even has a different show, Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone, currently streaming on Paramount Plus.

Yellowstone season 5 continues the saga of the Dutton family, who control the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. This is still frontier country and the ranch is under constant threat from land developers, an Indian reservation and conservation activists.
