what is yellowstone about

Yellowstone is an American neo-Western drama television series created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson that premiered on June 20, 2018, on Paramount Network. The series follows the conflicts along the shared borders of the Yellowstone Ranch, a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation, Yellowstone National Park, and land developers. The show centers around the Dutton family, who own the Yellowstone Ranch, the largest ranch in Montana. The patriarch of the family, John Dutton, is the sixth generation Dutton to own the ranch and leads his family through difficult times with developers, the national park, the bordering Broken Rock Indian Reservation, as well as internal family conflicts. The show explores the generational conflict and taps into Americas history, focusing on an American family who is looking over land they've held since the Civil War. Yellowstone is not about Yellowstone National Park, but it is set near the park, and sometimes characters go there to have symbolically fraught encounters with wolves. The show is known for its violence and is a huge hit.
