Can I watch Yellowstone season 1 on Amazon Prime

Journey into the wild, wild west and watch Yellowstone online to check out one of the most popular shows on cable TV. 

The drama, starring Kevin Costner as a ranch patriarch, is a huge hit for the Paramount Network. Yellowstone season 5, which is currently airing, has generated record ratings.

The show's ratings success led to a spinoff, 1883 that tells the origin story of the Dutton family. Another Yellowstone prequel, 1923, is coming soon to Paramount Plus. Several more spinoffs are in the works.

In Yellowstone, Costner plays John Dutton, head of his family, which has owned the Dutton Ranch for six generations. The ranch is located near Yellowstone National Park and Native American reservations.

He oversees the ranch alongside his son, Kayce Dutton (Lucas Grimes), a former Navy SEAL. Kayce is married to a Native American woman, Monica (Kelsey Asbille Chow), and they have a young boy named Tate. John's adoptive son, Jamie (Wes Bentley) is an attorney and aspiring politician.

Then there's John's daughter, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), a financier who has struggled with substance abuse problems. She married the ranch foreman, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser). 

The Duttons are continually fighting to maintain control over the ranch. They deal with thorny political machinations, battle greedy land developers and manage tensions with the local indigenous tribes. 

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Yellowstone online for free and without cable.
