The American neo-western drama took place in Montana, Utah, and Missoula.
At the Chief Joseph Ranch in Darby, Montana, which serves as John Dutton's fictitious home, the series' principal photography started in August 2017. In that same month, there was also some filming near Park City, Utah. The Utah Film Studios in Park City, which total 45,000 square feet, provided all three soundstages for the production.
Along with offices, a wardrobe department, editing, and construction shops, the structure also houses these facilities. By November 2017, more than twenty Utah locations, including the Salt Flats, Promontory Club, and Spanish Fork, had been used for the series' filming. In addition, there were several locations in Montana where filming took place. Reports state that production continued through December 2017.
The show revealed that all of the filming had been shifted to Montana in August 2020. In Missoula, Montana, an anonymous production location was rented. The Community Medical Center, Ryman Street near the County Courthouse, Ruby's Cafe on Brooks Street in Missoula, as well as locations in the neighborhood of Hamilton, Montana, were used as filming locations. Season 5's production began in Missoula in June 2022.
Where was John Dutton’s Log Mansion shot?
The main house of the Chief Joseph Ranch, which is now a guest ranch south of Darby, serves as the location for filming of the "log mansion," where John Dutton resides. After Cincinnati, Ohio residents William S. Ford (1866-1935) and Howard Clark Hollister (1856–1919) bought 2,500 acres on the Bitterroot River for a vacation home and established the Ford–Hollister Ranch, the house was constructed between 1914 and 1917.
In Toledo, Ohio, Ford served as chairman of Owens-Illinois Glass. Judge Hollister presided over cases at the Southern District of Ohio's US District Court. Bates & Gamble of Toledo created the design. The home is 5,000 square feet, with a parlor measuring 2,200 square feet. The New York Times called the home a "log mansion," and it has a log cabin theme.
The Old Faithful Inn, which opened in 1904 and is located 294 miles away in Yellowstone National Park, has been compared to it in terms of design. According to The Times, "a diverse combination of arches, gables, and dormers, set off by logs placed vertically and horizontally, adds an elegance to log-home design that is seldom seen."
Three sizable barns designed to house Holstein cattle are part of the complex. According to reports, it was the biggest dairy herd west of the Mississippi River. Later, Ford stopped keeping dairy cows and started raising Hereford cattle. After Ford passed away, his wife and daughter ran it as an inn. It was sold in 1952.
It was renamed by a number of new owners after Chief Joseph, who is believed to have traveled through the region during the Nez Perce War.
What is Yellowstone?
Taylor Sheridan and John Linson are the creators of the neo-western drama Yellowstone, which made its television debut on the Paramount Network on June 20, 2018. The series' principal actors include Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Gil Birmingham.
The episodes of the series center on the conflicts along the borders between the Dutton family's large cattle ranch, an Indian reservation, and land developers. NBCUniversal's Peacock acquired the U.S. streaming rights to Yellowstone in 2020, with the first two seasons premiering in July of that year.
Due to the show's increased reception, viewership, and popularity in its later seasons, Paramount Global President and CEO Bob Bakish has since called the timing of the deal "unfortunate."
The current seasons of Yellowstone are primarily accessible on Paramount Network's apps and website through TV Everywhere, necessitating a cable subscription, according to critics, who also note the show's absence from Paramount's own similarly named streaming service, Paramount+, as well as the fact that both of these options are confusing to viewers and the show's supporters on social media.
How was Yellowstone developed?
The Work on series debuted in 2013 because its creator, Taylor Sheridan, had previously lived in rural America. The first scripts were written in Livingston, Montana, where Sheridan set the series. When Sheridan first proposed the show to HBO, the network turned it down.
Yellowstone was approved by the Paramount Network in May 2017. A ten-episode first season was given a series order by Paramount. Sheridan wrote, directed, and executive-produced the television show. Other executive producers were John Linson, Art Linson, Harvey Weinstein, and David Glasser. The Weinstein Company and Linson Entertainment were slated to be the production companies working on the series.
Harvey Weinstein's name and that of The Weinstein Company were taken off the credits for the series in October 2017 as a result of reports of sexual abuse allegations against him. Although The Weinstein Company was involved in production, Kevin Kay, president of Paramount Network, made it clear during the annual Television Critics Association winter press tour in January 2018 that Yellowstone would not bear that company's credits or logo.
He said that when it becomes available, the company's new name will be used to replace Weinstein Television in the show's credits. The series was renewed by Paramount Network for a second season in July 2018, which was scheduled to debut in 2019. The second season's debut date, June 19, 2019, was announced in March 2019.
The third season of the show was ordered by Paramount in June 2019, and it debuted on June 21, 2020. Ahead of the third season's premiere, Paramount Network renewed the show for a fourth season in February 2020. The start of the fourth season was on November 7, 2021. The fifth season of the show, which will be split into two installments, was renewed by the Paramount Network in February 2022. On November 13, 2022, the fifth season officially began.
