Paramount Network have confirmed a November release date for Yellowstone season four, with a two-episode premiere to mark the drama’s long-awaited return.
The Yellowstone season four teaser trailer, released earlier this year, teases a dramatic return for the show – one which series star Jefferson White has promised will be “worth the wait”.
The season four teaser trailer confirms that family patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) has survived the brutal roadside shooting that occurred last season.
We’ve also learnt that the series have added a major new recurring character: Jacki Weaver (of Silver Linings Playbook fame) will play Caroline Warner, the CEO of Market Equities.
In May, there was a casting call for crowd scenes (which previously could not be filmed due to social distancing) which suggested that filming still hadn’t fully wrapped yet at that stage.
The series follows the Dutton family, whose grip on the family ranch in Yellowstone is constantly under threat, with conflicts arising with the ranch’s bordering areas and with land developers.
At the end of season three, the Dutton family were left in a precarious position, as one-by-one the members were targeted for assassination.
Costner (who you might know from the film Dances with Wolves) plays a sixth-generation ranch owner in the show, but his family’s claim over the land is continually challenged. Family and legacy are key themes in the series, as patriarch John Dutton (Costner) struggles to maintain a grip on the lucrative ranch.

Yellowstone season 4 release date
Yellowstone season 4 will air on 7th November 2021 on the Paramount Network for US viewers. The premiere will launch with two episodes.
It was previously reported that Paramount Network are “eyeing” a November release (via Deadline).
In June 2021, star Jefferson White teased that it would be worth waiting for, writing on Instagram, “Appreciate y’all!! Season 4 is worth the wait, I promise!!”
The message was written as a comment under a post of his character from the official Yellowstone Instagram page – with many of the show’s fans commenting begging for a release date to be announced.
In the US, seasons one, two, and three are available to watch now on the Peacock streaming service.
How can I watch Yellowstone season 4 in the UK?
