What’s Happening in ‘Yellowstone’ Country This Weekend? It’s Free and Unmissable

Nothing says “America” quite like fireworks, freedom, and a multi-day marathon of Dutton family drama. This Fourth of July weekend, fans of Yellowstone can celebrate with a back-to-back binge of the hit series on the More TV Drama Channel. Starting Friday and running straight through Monday, the marathon will cover everything from the Duttons’ early land wars to the explosive chaos of Yellowstone Season 4. That means four full days of cattle, conflict, and Kevin Costner — all without spending a dime.

If you’ve been itching for a reason to rewatch Yellowstone — or finally dive in for the first time — this is your moment. It’s a star-spangled saga of loyalty, betrayal, and the politics of protecting what’s yours, darn it. And with no streaming subscription needed, it’s the easiest way to spend your long weekend where the stakes are high, the hats are wide, and the drama never quits.

So What’s Next for ‘Yellowstone’?

Now that the mainline series wrapped up its fifth and final season this past December, you might be wondering where the Yellowstone universe rides to next. Don’t worry — Taylor Sheridan’s western empire isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Two major spin-offs have already been confirmed. The first, The Madison, features a powerhouse cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams, and potentially even Kurt Russel will follow a wealthy New York family as they navigate the fallout from the Dutton Ranch’s closure. The other, still-untitled project will bring back fan-favorites Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser as Beth and Rip, this time heading to Dillon, Montana. You know, just two lovable psychopaths trying to keep it low-key — what could go wrong? Not only that, but a network television variant, Y: Marshals, starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, will be hitting CBS later this year. Never a dull moment in Montana.

As for where you can see Yellowstone on demand, well, here’s where things get a little…wild west. Despite being a Paramount series, Yellowstone isn’t available on Paramount+ in the U.S. Instead, it lives on Peacock — thanks to a now-regretted licensing deal that’s left Paramount execs kicking themselves. According to insiders, Peacock will retain domestic rights to the series until four years after the finale airs. Since that finale dropped in December 2024, Yellowstone likely won’t be available on any other streaming platform (like Netflix or Paramount+) until at least 2028.

For now, U.S. fans can stream Seasons 1–5.5 of Yellowstone on Peacock, while prequels 1883, 1923, and other Sheridan-verse titles like Landman and Mayor of Kingstown are housed over on Paramount+. But if you want to skip the streaming headache and go old school, just flip on the More TV Drama Channel this weekend and settle in for four uninterrupted days of Yellowstone mayhem. Think of it as your patriotic duty.
