Yellowstone is Paramount’s successful Western drama that follows the Dutton family, who own and operate the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, the largest ranch in the state of Montana. The series first premiered in 2018 and stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton III, the six-generation patriarch of the Dutton family. Throughout the series, John and his family are constantly protecting the Yellowstone ranch from those attempting to take their land, including an Indian reservation and wealthy land developers.

In May 2023, news broke that Yellowstone will end with Season 5 due to scheduling conflicts with Costner. At the time, Paramount announced their plans to instead focus on a Matthew McConaughey-led spin-off series in the same universe, tentatively titled 2024. “Yellowstone has been the cornerstone on which we have launched an entire universe of global hits – from 1883 to Tulsa King, and I am confident our Yellowstone sequel will be another big hit, thanks to the brilliant creative mind of Taylor Sheridan and our incredible casts who bring these shows to life,” Chris McCarthy, President & CEO Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement, per Deadline. He continued: “The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale.  We are thrilled to bring this new journey to audiences around the world.”
