After a bloody second season, Paramount’s Yellowstone began its third in remarkable peace.  Last season ended in a deadly shootout between the Dutton family and its allies and white supremacists militia members who were hired to kidnap and traumatize John Dutton’s only grandson, Tate.

Season three began with the family picking up all the pieces all while introducing new enemies and indicating another ugly war is coming to billionaire rancher John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) clan. These new enemies include development firm called Market Equities and “hedge fund baller” Roarke Morris. They have come to Big Sky Country to build an airport and then a city -- challenging the Dutton’s ranching empire. A showdown and shootout is inevitable.
