Plot Synopsis

YELLOWSTONE is a one-hour scripted series that centers on John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, which is under constant attack by those it borders -- land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny -- where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.

Season 2 of YELLOWSTONE premiered on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 10pm ET/PT on Paramount Network, with a simulcast on CMT. 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 America's first national park. In the season opener, "A Thundering," Kayce settles into his new role at the Ranch, a damaging article threatens to expose John, and Rainwater pitches his new plan to the tribal council.
