Yellowstone has had a great run, but a rumored end this summer is probably the right move
Kevin Costner's gravelly-voiced rancher John Dutton once mused, in Paramount's hit series Yellowstone, that "you can't fix a broken wagon wheel, but you can use the parts to make a new one." No one would accuse the OG Paramount series from creator Taylor Sheridan of being "broken" -- well, scratch that, some of you might -- but the second half of that maxim pretty aptly describes what the network is doing right now vis a vis Sheridan's myriad shows he's launching for the Paramount Plus streamer.
Without getting too far down into the weeds, Paramount had crafted a streaming strategy for Yellowstone before it had a firm handle on its own streaming ambitions -- which is why the show, now one of the biggest on cable, doesn't live on its own network's streaming service. And it's also why Paramount has wisely tasked Sheridan, who's now a proven hitmaker with legions of fans, with building out as many shows as he cans ... for Paramount's streaming service, specifically.
The result: Multiple Yellowstone prequels and spinoffs, like 1883 and 1923, for a start. In fact, Sheridan's bulging Paramount Plus portfolio is also starting to beg a question among a certain contingent of Yellowstone fans ... is it time to call it a day on this one?
