Taylor Sheridan is the creator of Yellowstone, the showrunner, and the “god of the cowboy heart.” He is often praised for his dark, gritty, and usually crime-based dramas, but his work needs to be given more credit for its balance. It’s a big reason Yellowstone’s viewership is growing, even as the program enters its fifth (and maybe final) season, and why fans have stuck with the show for so long. Sheridan has a good sense of timing.
In the first episode of season one, a group of killers who had never been seen before attacked the Duttons. It was a very explosive event. Kayce Dutton, the youngest son of the Duttons (played by Luke Grimes). They Went after the people who hurt them with righteous anger that only a Dutton could muster. Blood, dead bodies, and bullets are everywhere in the first episode of season 4, giving fans just what they wanted.

Season 5 will not begin with that kind of twist.
More than anything, the season 5 opening promises a bumpy journey, which is exciting in and of itself. Beth’s (Kelly Reilly) abuse of Jamie, the black sheep of the Dutton family, was one of the plot threads left hanging at the end of the previous season (Wes Bentley). Beth persuaded the weak-willed Jamie into killing his father, Will Patton, and then tucked him back neatly into the Dutton family pocket once it was revealed that Patton was behind the Dutton attack. Nonetheless, if the little details Sheridan dropped into the first episode pay off, the Jamie plot might be the most intriguing of the season.
A new era of lawmaking for the Duttons will begin with Season 5. The Duttons’ new office will make it much simpler to discover answers to their issues than the violence. Insider trading, and dynamite that have always been their go-to methods in the past. Even if the Duttons break every law in the book, the nasty coastal towns will destroy the valley’s natural beauty.
However, we have seen that the Montanans’ struggle for their way of life is not so much old-fashioned as it appears unprofitable by today’s American standards.
With as many adversaries as the Duttons face. Every choice forces them to face the fact that the ranch’s good years are numbered and they will soon need to dive into their funds to pay the bills.
Dutton won’t budge an inch from his position and is unwilling to compromise. Because of this attitude. He can keep his huge ranch together in the face of powerful rivals and survive the attempt on his life at the dramatic end of Season 3.
At the end of Season 4, the Dutton family huddled together to protect themselves from the growing threat of developer Caroline Warner (Jacki Weaver). The latter wants the Dutton ranch for an airport idea in Montana. Beth (Kelly Reilly) was blackmailing her brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) to get him to help.
Dutton suffers another loss in Season 5 but also wins his bid for governor. The actor is aware of the trade-offs involved with his new position. But he believes they will be worth it in the long run.
John Dutton’s opponents emerge from hiding and plan their next move. Thomas Rainwater’s attorney, Angela Blue Thunder, sends chills down his spine with her nagging that he should have murdered John when he had the chance. The ridiculously titled Market Equities has sent in one of its heavy guns. Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), which is meant to be the antithesis of Beth. Despite Olivieri’s 1883 appearance as Claire Dutton, the Yellowstone universe doesn’t seem to mind that she’s crossing.
