The Yellowstone universe is growing in multiple directions. 1883 and 1923, two period prequels that trace the Dutton family’s early history, have already found big success, with 1923 recently landing on Netflix and introducing new viewers to the franchise. But that’s just the beginning.
Interestingly, it wasn’t always destined to be a success. Sheridan originally pitched the show to HBO, only for the network to pass. Paramount ultimately greenlit it — and the rest is streaming history. Throughout its five-season run, Yellowstone earned critical acclaim and consistent ratings, with Kevin Costner winning a Golden Globe for his portrayal of John Dutton. But behind the scenes, tensions flared. Costner exited midway through the final season due to reported creative clashes and salary disputes. As a result, he was written out before the series concluded.
What’s Next for ‘Yellowstone’?

Up next is The Madison, a modern-day series following the McIntosh family who’ve traded New York skyscrapers for the Montana plains. Oscar nominee Michelle Pfeiffer leads the series, with Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, and Kurt Russell rounding out the cast. The show is expected to bring a new angle to the Sheridan-verse — one that expands beyond the Dutton bloodline, which has been covered plenty.
As of now, all five seasons of Yellowstone are available to stream on Peacock. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest updates on the Yellowstone universe and everything else Taylor Sheridan has brewing.
