A few years ago, Taylor Sheridan was best known as the Sons of Anarchy actor who made a surprising career change by writing the script for Sicario. Today, Sheridan is one of the most successful television creators in the USA, writing series for Jeremy Renner, Sylvester Stallone and Zoe Saldana and ruling over his own little western empire. We’re talking about Yellowstone, currently the most successful fictional US series. Starting today you can stream the first 3 seasons with Kevin Costner on Netflix.
That’s what the hit series with Kevin Costner is all about
Yellowstone takes place in a neo-Western setting, which means it deals with myths of the Wild West in the present. The focus is on John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) and his family (Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley), who live in the US state of Montana largest contiguous ranch in the United States. But “Yellowstone,” as she is affectionately known, is constantly in danger, at least from the Duttons’ perspective. Threats include the adjacent North American Native American reservation, national park planning and political intrigue.

There may be no king in Montana, let alone dragons, but at least there is Kevin Costner’s John Dutton. The story of Yellowstone is similar to series like Game of Thrones thanks to the moral gray areas, changing alliances and violence.
Yellowstone has now reached season 5 and is the “most popular scripted series in the USA” (Forbes). Creator Taylor Sheridan owns a ranch almost the size of Los Angeles. To pay it off, Sheridan is churning out shows, as he told the Hollywood Reporter last summer.
These Yellowstone series exist or are being planned
Sheridan’s Ranch Life has spawned two spin-offs to date, and three more productions from the Yellowstone universe are planned. The following series belong to Yellowstone:
The first 3 seasons of Yellowstone are streaming on Netflix. If you want to know what happens next, you can stream season 4 and the first half of season 5 on Paramount+ and in the Magenta TV library. 1923 and 1883 are also streaming on Paramount+.
