Yellowstone is co-created by John Linson (who has produced works such as Lords of Dogtown and Sons of Anarchy) and Taylor Sheridan (whose screenwriting credits include the acclaimed films Sicario and Hell or Highwater).
Set in modern-day Montana, USA, Yellowstone is a riveting, gripping, emotive and action-packed drama which follows six generations of ranchers. Costner stars as John Dutton, the ruthless patriarch who will do whatever it takes to protect the lucrative Yellowstone ranch from bloodthirsty enemies, indigenous communities who believe the land is rightfully theirs, and developers whose ambitions put the ranch in peril.
In a scheduling innovation made for the age of the series binge, viewers will be able to watch seasons on to part one of season five back-to-back every Thursday to Saturday, with fresh episodes airing at 9pm, 10pm and 11pm respectively. All episodes go straight to Catch Up immediately after the M-Net broadcast.
