The latest episode of Yellowstone, “Counting Coup” premieres on Dec. 1 on the Paramount Network. The hit show has been a ratings juggernaut, leading to an extended TV universe built around Taylor Sheridan’s rough-and-tumble tales of the modern West (the latest is Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton).

At A Glance: How To Watch Yellowstone

Is Yellowstone On Paramount+?

The short answer is no. Yellowstone airs on Paramount Network, a basic cable channel that is distinct from Paramount+. That means the best way to watch Yellowstone when it airs is with a live-streaming service that carries Paramount Network, such as Philo, DirecTV Stream, Sling, or Hulu + Live TV. At $28/mo, Philo is one of the most affordable options that includes Paramount Network, (though you won’t find local channels).

Another affordable option is Sling, which starts at $40/mo. To watch Paramount Network, you’ll want the $6/mo Entertainment Extra package. However, Sling does not offer a free trial. Other live streaming services, such as Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream start at around $80/mo but have more channels.

How To Watch Yellowstone Spinoffs

Yellowstone’s runaway success has led to multiple spinoffs, including 1883 starring Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Sam Elliott, and 1923 starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Other spinoffs in the works include 6666, 1944, and The Madison. Shows created or executive-produced by Taylor Sheridan include Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner, and Lawmen: Bass Reeves, starring David Oyelowo. All of these are streaming on Paramount+.

During the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, you can get Paramount+ Essential or Paramount+ with Showtime for $2.99/mo for the first two months. As part of Amazon Prime’s Black Friday streaming deals, Prime members can get the same deal by adding Paramount+ to their Prime account.

Where To Stream Yellowstone

Every previous season of Yellowstone is on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.

It may seem confusing that a show from the parent company of CBS would be available on rival NBC’s streaming service, but Peacock secured the streaming rights to Yellowstone before the creation of Paramount+. Unsurprisingly, Peacock has held on tight to Yellowstone given its success.

Every season of the show, including Season 5, Part 1 is available to stream on Peacock. However, episodes typically don’t hit the streamer until months later, and that’ll be the case with Season 5, Part 2, as well. Right now, you can save 75% on a subscription to Peacock with an annual plan, which will get you a full year of the streaming service for just $19.99.

To promote the show, Yellowstone has also teamed up with a slew of brands on merch, including a collaboration with western boot brand Ariat, which was designed by Yellowstone’s costume designer Johnetta Boone.
