Rueben's Ramblings

The new drama Yellowstone will debut on the Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV) on June 20 at 9 PM.

Kevin Costner stars as John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders – land developers, an Indian reservation, and America’s first National Park. The series is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny – where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world’s largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.

The ensemble cast includes Cole Hauser (Rogue and Pitch Black), Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters), Gil Birmingham (Siren and the Twilight franchise), Gretchen Mol (Boardwalk Empire), Ian Bohen (Teen Wolf), Jill Hennessy (Crossing Jordan), Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama), Kelly Reilly (Black Box and Sherlock Holmes), Luke Grimes (Brothers & Sisters and Fifty Shades franchise), Michaela Conlin (Bones) and Wes Bentley (American Horror Story).
