Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect; the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders; an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and vicious business rivalries.

The Paramount Network original drama is co-produced by 101 Studios. Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, Yellowstone's executive producers include John Linson, Art Linson, Taylor Sheridan, Kevin Costner, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, and Stephen Kay.

Yellowstone Season 3 Episode 10 seemingly killed off a lot of cast members, and, to be honest, there's really no indication any of them will live to see the fourth season.

It was a controversial episode, for sure, and fans are going to be waiting for the fourth season wondering which of their favorite characters will be back.

The good news is that Season 4 is official.
