Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard the talk about Yellowstone’s western drama. It’s a country soap opera!
Yellowstone is now in its fourth season, and we all can’t get enough!
Yellowstone is about the Dutton family, if you don’t know about this totally addictive television show. A seventh-generation family living on one of the largest ranches in the United States. The Dutton family constantly fights those who want to take their land from them. Land developers, a neighbouring Indian reservation, and those jealous of the land they possess.
You can watch Yellowstone on Paramount+.

Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton, may seem familiar. And no – it isn’t Twilight (although he did audition for the role of ‘Edward’ in Twilight but lost to Robert Pattinson. Luke Grimes played Christian Grey’s brother, Elliot Gray, in the 50 Shades of Grey series.
He also appeared in True Blood and American Sniper’s hit shows with Ryan Phillipe.

Yes! Who would have thought that filthy-mouthed Beth Dutton actually speaks in real life with a posh accent! If you want to hear Kelly in all her British glory – go back and watch the first Sherlock Holmes movie (starring Robert Downey Jnr) – Kelly Reilly plays Watson’s wife, Mary.
Kelly was also the youngest actress ever to be nominated for the Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress in 2003 at aged 26.
She is a true bad-ass and my favourite character on Yellowstone!

Ryan competed as a bull rider in rodeos before embarking on an acting career. So he is perfect for his role on Yellowstone!

Asbille claims to be “Part Cherokee and half Chinese’; however, no Native American group has proved this.
But if you recognise Kelsey Asbille, you may have seen her in MTV’s Teen Wolf.
