The show takes place in Montana and is about power, family, betrayal, and the tale of the Dutton family. Season 5 of Yellowstone continues the epic story of the Dutton family as the Governor of Montana John Dutton is sworn in. He uses his newfound power to keep political and business threats away from his ranch. This season is full of intense family drama, such as Beth and Jamie's arguments getting worse, and Kayce makes hard choices.
As the stakes rise, the Duttons have to deal with new enemies and personal problems, which leads to a dramatic and emotional ending. Two new spin-offs of the show are about to be released, including 1944 and The Madison.

The Paramount series follows the Dutton family, led by Kevin Costner as John Dutton, on the US's largest contiguous ranch. The series explores power, family, betrayal, and the never-ending struggle to preserve the family legacy in Montana's stunning landscapes.
Sheridan's writing blends Western and modern themes, resulting in spinoffs like 1883 and 1923. Season 5 part 2 represented a notable achievement in Taylor Sheridan's career. Although Sheridan's initial income was modest, his participation in Yellowstone has been transformative.
As mentioned by Fortune in November 2024, Sheridan has allegedly secured an impressive $200 million agreement with ViacomCBS (now Paramount) to create additional productions.
Sheridan's financial gain from Yellowstone extends beyond his production agreements. He has amassed considerable wealth by billing Paramount for the utilization of his actual Texas ranches. Sheridan leases his properties for filming, earning up to $50,000 weekly for the opportunity.
Furthermore, as stated by Wall Street Journal in May, 2023, he invoices Paramount an additional $214,979 for a cowboy training camp to equip the show's actors for their roles.
Sheridan's real estate investments and show success are both profitable. As per Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Sheridan along with a group of investors, bought the historic 6666 Ranch, a key filming location for the show, for a staggering $320 million.
Though small, Sheridan's role as Travis Wheatley on the show allows him to stay connected to the world he created. His cowboy upbringing on a Texas ranch has helped him create authentic characters and stories that resonate with audiences.
