Yellowstone streams on Paramount+, with all five seasons available

Yellowstone is available exclusively on Paramount+. All five seasons of the series are there to watch, from the pilot through the season 5 finale. You need an active Paramount+ subscription to stream it — the show is not free on other platforms, and it does not air on cable television anymore.

Paramount+ is the only place to watch new Yellowstone content going forward. The network that originally aired the show, Paramount Network, stopped carrying it after season 4. If you watched it on cable before, you will need to switch to the streaming service to continue.

The show is also not available on Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, or any other major streaming service. Paramount owns both the show and Paramount+, so they keep the rights exclusive to their own platform.

Key Takeaways

  • All five seasons of Yellowstone are on Paramount+ and nowhere else.
  • You must pay for a Paramount+ subscription to watch — there is no free tier that includes Yellowstone.
  • The show no longer airs on cable television or Paramount Network.
  • Paramount+ offers both ad-supported and ad-free subscription tiers, and Yellowstone is available on both.

Paramount+ subscription tiers and what they cost

Paramount+ offers two subscription options. The ad-supported tier costs less per month but shows advertisements during episodes. The ad-free tier costs more and lets you watch without interruption.

Pricing varies by region and changes periodically, so check the Paramount+ website directly for current rates in your area. Both tiers include access to all five seasons of Yellowstone. The difference is only whether you see ads — the content itself is identical.

Paramount+ also sometimes offers promotional pricing for new subscribers, such as a discounted first month or a free trial period. These offers change, so look at the sign-up page when you visit to see what is currently available.

How to watch Yellowstone on Paramount+

Create a Paramount+ account on the website or through the mobile app, then choose your subscription tier and payment method. Once your account is active, search for "Yellowstone" in the app or on the website and start watching from season 1, episode 1.

You can watch on any device that has the Paramount+ app: phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, streaming devices like Roku or Apple TV, and gaming consoles like PlayStation or Xbox. Log in with the same account on each device.

Paramount+ lets you create multiple profiles under one account, so different household members can have their own watch history and recommendations. Each profile is separate, so you can pause a show on one profile and resume it on another without affecting anyone else's viewing.

Watching Yellowstone offline on Paramount+

The Paramount+ app lets you read episodes to watch later without an internet connection. This works on phones and tablets but not on computers or smart TVs through the app.

To read, open the episode or season you want, look for the read button (usually a downward arrow), and tap it. The episode saves to your device and stays there until you delete it or your subscription expires. Downloaded episodes still count toward your account's simultaneous streaming limit.

Downloaded content is useful for travel or commuting, but the files take up storage space on your device. Delete episodes you have finished watching to free up room for new ones.

Yellowstone spin-offs and related shows on Paramount+

1883 and 1923 are prequel series set in the same universe as Yellowstone. Both are on Paramount+ and tell the story of the Dutton family in earlier time periods. If you finish Yellowstone and want more from the same world, these shows continue the story.

1883 follows the Dutton family during the Great Depression and Prohibition era. 1923 goes back further, to the 1920s. Both have their own complete storylines and do not require you to watch Yellowstone first, though fans of the original series often watch them afterward.

Yellowstone: 1883 and Yellowstone: 1923 are both included with a Paramount+ subscription at no extra cost, just like the main series.

What to do if Paramount+ is not available in your region

Paramount+ is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and several other countries, but not everywhere. If you are outside these regions, the service may not work in your location.

In some countries, Yellowstone airs on different streaming services or cable networks. Check what streaming services are available where you live and search for Yellowstone on each one. Local television listings or a streaming search tool specific to your country can help you find where it is available.

A VPN (virtual private network) can make it appear that you are in a different location, but using one to access Paramount+ outside your region violates the service's terms of use. The safest approach is to look for the show on services that are actually available in your area.
