Production has begun on the much-anticipated fifth season of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone. Season four drew in an average of 11 million viewers and picked up Screen Actors Guild and Producers Guild award nominations, marking the first time major awards groups have recognized what fans have known since season one – Yellowstone is one of the best dramas on television.

The cast is led by Oscar winner Kevin Costner as John Dutton. Returning cast members also include Luke Grimes as Kayce, Kelly Reilly as Beth, Wes Bentley as Jamie, and Cole Hauser as Rip. Kelsey Asbille stars as Monica, Brecken Merrill is Tate, Jefferson White plays Jimmy, Forrie Smith is Lloyd, Denim Richards is Colby, Ian Bohen is Ryan, Finn Little is Carter, Ryan Bingham is Walker, and Gil Birmingham is Thomas Rainwater.

Fan favorite Jen Landon (“Teeter”) has been upped to series regular for the fifth season. Kathryn Kelly (“Emily”) has also been promoted to series regular.

Yellowstone was created by Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water) and John Linson. Kevin Costner, Taylor Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, and Stephen Kay executive produce.

Paramount Network’s official Yellowstone synopsis: “Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton family, led by John Dutton (Costner), who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and vicious business rivalries.”

Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe has expanded to include 1883 starring Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as well as the recently greenlit series 1932 which follows a new generation of Duttons.
