Ratings Hit
With a star-studded cast and superstar filmmaker behind such hits as Sicario and Hell or High Water, Yellowstone was always destined for great things, but it exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations.
The series knocked it out of the park from the get-go and its premiere alone attracted five million viewers! While most shows deal with a decline in ratings after several seasons, Yellowstone’s audience is just growing larger, and Season 4 finale attracted approximately 11 million viewers, setting many records in its wake.
10-Hours Movie?
No TV series is complete without a leading man and getting Kevin Costner to say yes wasn’t an easy task. This is his first and only TV role following the mini-series Hatfields & McCoys, and he didn’t know what he was getting into when he agreed to it.
“I thought we were going to do one long movie, 10 hours… Somewhere along the line, they wanted to turn [it] into a series, and you kinda have to look at things again. I have my own internal reasons why I ended up doing it, but ultimately there’s that window of opportunity,” Costner told Entertainment Tonight.
