It’s been almost two years since Paramount Network aired new episodes of Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan and John Linson’s Western drama starring Kevin Costner. That’s not the norm for a show that once premiered a new season every year from 2018 through 2022. In that time, the show’s ratings steadily climbed to new heights, each premiere breaking records for live and same-day viewing. As spin-offs were greenlit and Sheridan’s empire expanded, Yellowstone cemented itself as the most-watched show on cable.
