- Set in the fictional South Texas city of Rio Paloma, the series picks up a year after Yellowstone ends, exploring Beth and Rip’s struggle to build a future while facing brutal new realities and a ruthless rival.
- The cast includes Annette Bening, Ed Harris, Jai Courtney, and others, with the show premiering its two-episode debut on Paramount+ and Paramount Network, followed by weekly episodes totaling nine for the season.
- Season one showrunner Chad Feehan exited the series before its premiere, with producers and cast reportedly dissatisfied with his handling of the production; a new showrunner will be needed if the series is renewed.
