  • Season 3 of Yellowstone concluded on August 23, 2020, on the Paramount Network. All three seasons are now available to stream on Peacock.

  • The successful show has already been confirmed for a fourth season, which will premiere on November 7, 2021.


It's no surprise that Yellowstone has become cable TV's number one drama. The story of the Dutton family's Montana ranch is filled with cliffhangers, making it perfect for binge-watching. Kevin Costner stars as patriarch John Dutton, who, along with his children Kayce (Luke Grimes), Beth (Kelly Reilly), and Jamie (Wes Bentley), does whatever it takes to protect his ranch and fortune. Season 3 came to a head during the eventful finale, which ended with a bomb and gunfire, leaving viewers wondering who would survive to see season 4. While viewers might have to wait to see how the story unfolds, but recent news about not one but two Yellowstone spinoffs is enough to keep us excited (both 6666 and 1883 are in the works for Paramount+). Here's what we know about season 4 of Yellowstone.

After season 3's cliffhanger ending, you may be wondering if your favorites survived the finale. (Spoiler alert!) In the last episode, viewers saw a bomb detonate in Beth's office, and Kayce and John get shot in separate incidents, begging the question: Who will return for season 4? While we won't know the fate of the Duttons until season 4 premieres, we expect the main characters to be back for the next season. Hopefully that means more of John, Kayce, Beth, Jamie, Monica, and Rip in 2021!

Kevin Costner posted a photo of his character John Dutton brooding on the ranch with the caption, "Missing Yellowstone Ranch today. Can’t wait for you guys to see season 4!", and it sent his Instagram followers into a frenzy. One commenter posted, "I'm counting down the days until the show returns." Another said, "When will that be though, Mr. Costner?!?" One fan put it best with, "I.CAN.NOT.WAIT!!!"

How can I watch the first three seasons?

If you haven't watched past seasons of Yellowstone, you have time to catch up! The show is not on Netflix or Hulu, but seasons 1, 2, and 3 are all available to watch on the Peacock streaming service.

When will season 4 premiere?

Well, don't worry. There will be a season 4. Filming for season 4 was delayed by a few months due to the COVID-19 pandemic but picked up shortly before the season 3 finale aired.

On August 19, 2021, Paramount Network released a video on Instagram confirming that the show will return on November 7, 2021. According to Deadline, two all-new episodes will air that day.

The short clip shows John being circled by ominous birds after being shot and a voice is heard saying, "We're at war, you and me." The caption promises, "This is not a drill!"

Is there a trailer for season 4?

Yes, and it's a doozy! The fate of John, Beth, and Kayce is not immediately clear, but there are many more chills-inducing moments.

We can't wait to see what happens next for the Dutton family.
