'Yellowstone' Filming Locations: The Spots From The TV Series You Can Actually Visit
There are TV shows that invite you to tune in and switch; then there are the rarefied few that beckon you to saddle up, breathe in mountain air, and contemplate moving to the wild, wild West for 'a simpler life' (albeit, with more family betrayals and bar-side brawls). Such is the gravitational pull of Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan's five-season sermon to American land and legacy, all framed by sweeping cinematography that, if recent figures are to be believed, is having a direct impact on holiday makers. But where, exactly, are these sprawling acres, weathered barns, and rodeo arenas? Like all great Western myths, there's some creative geography at play. Allow this guide to the real Yellowstone filming locations to light the way. At the heart of Yellowstone sits the Dutton Ranch — actually the Chief Joseph Ranch in Darby, Montana. Tucked deep in the Bitterroot Valley beneath snow-capped Trapper Peak, this is where the show's family drama unfolds. Off screen, it's a historic guest ranch dating to the early 1900s, and yes, you can book a stay in cabins previously occupied by the cast (for a price and with plenty of advance planning). The infamous 'Train Station' — where problems go to disappear — is a real too, and can be found on U.S. Highway 93 at Sula, just south of Darby. While Yellowstone is set in Montana, much of its visual identity in the early seasons was actually forged in Utah. Yes, you read that right: for its first three seasons, roughly three-quarters of the show was filmed in Utah at Park City's Utah Film Studios, leveraging a then-alluring tax incentive and a landscape as wild and cinematic as Montana's own. This is everywhere the series filmed throughout Utah. As the Dutton family's fortunes rose (and a few more bodies found themselves at the 'Train Station'), prodigal production money and, fittingly, a much bigger Montana tax incentive lured filming out of Utah and into Montana itself for season four and beyond. Suddenly, Montana — the show's spiritual, scriptural home — got its long overdue close-up. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

The Best Jeremy Renner And Elizabeth Olsen Team-Up Isn't A Marvel Movie, It's Neo-Western Crime Film
In the unforgiving icy landscapes, where silence isn't just golden but pervasive, we find ourselves engulfed in the gritty narrative that unfolds in Wind River. Starring Jeremy Renner, an actor who never shies away from complex, layered characters, this movie beckons viewers into a world that is as beautiful as it is brutal. In the hauntingly serene yet savage terrains of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, the story spirals around the relentless pursuit of justice. The film is held taut by the directorial skill of Taylor Sheridan, an artist adept at weaving narratives that strike a fine balance between raw realism and intricate storytelling. Jeremy Renner embodies Cory Lambert, a seasoned wildlife officer with a knack for tracking predators in the harsh wilderness. His path intertwines with Jane Banner, a fresh and somewhat unprepared FBI agent portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen. Together, they navigate the unsettling and bitterly cold territory, both literally and figuratively, as they try to unravel the mystery behind the gruesome death of a local young woman. Their journey is not just a search for a murderer but also a deep dive into the socio-economic intricacies and the grim realities of life on the reservation. Sheridan skillfully unravels a world where despair often overshadows hope, and where the landscape mirrors the harsh lives of its inhabitants. Well-rounded performances by a cast that includes Gil Birmingham add more depth to the narrative. Birmingham brings life to the role of Martin, the grief-stricken father struggling to come to terms with his daughter's tragic loss. Together, Wind River's stellar ensemble cast takes us on a journey that is as much about personal redemption as it is about justice, giving audiences a glimpse into the bleak realities that lie in the hidden corners of America's frontiers. Critics praised the film's tense exploration of justice and grief within the context of Native American reservation life, calling it a haunting and socially resonant thriller. It holds an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.7/10 on IMDb. Audiences responded positively to its emotional depth and stark realism, with many citing it as one of the year's overlooked gems. If you've only seen Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen together in Marvel movies, make it a point to give Wind River a chance.

Finished 'Yellowstone' And '1923'? Here Are 7 Western TV Series To Watch Next
Yellowstone and its spin-offs have drawn an entirely new generation of TV viewers into the Western saddle — and believe us, this golden age of prestige Westerns is not only keeping the genre alive but also shaking it up. From rugged wagon trails to cunning law enforcement, these shows dive straight into the elements Yellowstone fans cherish most: breathtaking landscapes, complex family legacies, and heart-wrenching love stories. Whether you crave sweeping vistas or intense family drama, these series will satisfy your appetite for the world Taylor Sheridan has created. What's it about? Meet the Duttons before Montana even knew their name. 1883 is Yellowstone's prequel: a wagon trail epic of hope, heartbreak, and brutal new beginnings. Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill headline the saga that's thick with grit, dysentery, and the ultimate question — how much will you sacrifice for your family's future? Where can I watch 1883? Paramount+. What's it about? Picture a mining town run almost entirely by women (yes, really.) When outlaw Roy Goode stumbles into La Belle, the town's fierce heroines (played by Michelle Dockery and Merritt Wever) must defend their independence against bandits and old ghosts. Godless is the kind of Western series that women deserve. Where can I watch Godless? Netflix. What's it about? Swap the grandeur of Montana for Wyoming's quietly dangerous beauty, and sheriffs for, well, more sheriffs. Walt Longmire lives his life keeping the peace in Absaroka County, and solving crimes that blur the lines between tradition and justice. It's a modern cowboy drama with slow-burn charm and high-stakes drama. A must-see. Where can I watch Longmire? Netflix. What's it about? Join Raylan Givens — a trigger-happy U.S. Marshal — as he returns home to Kentucky, where family feuds and backwoods justice reign supreme. Expect shootouts, and a modern spin on the lone lawman archetype. Where can I watch Justified? ITVX, Hulu. What's it about? Imagine Yellowstone had a baby with Twin Peaks, and you'll just about get Outer Range, which tells the story of Wyoming rancher Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin) who discovers a mysterious void on his land, igniting a supernatural mystery with roots in family, greed, and existential dread. Where can I watch Outer Range? Prime Video. What's it about? Once you've finished Yellowstone, teleport to Prohibition-era Atlantic City via Boardwalk Empire. Nucky Thompson's reign is as cutthroat as any Dutton drama, weaving corruption and survival across lavish parties and deadly rivalries. Where can I watch Boardwalk Empire? NOW TV. What is The Abandons about? Set in the dust-choked hills of 1850s Oregon, The Abandons is the latest offering from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter. It's got Gillian Anderson running wild in the wild, wild west, survivors on the edge, and enough family drama to keep us all glued to our screens. Per the official Netflix logline, the series '...tells the story of a group of diverse renegade families living on the fringes of society in 1850s Washington State. These lost souls band together to fight corrupt forces and do anything they can to save their land.' Where can I watch The Abandons? Filming started on the hotly-anticipated series in May 2024, so hopes are high that it will be available to stream soon on Netflix.

Best known for penning the Paramount Network drama as well as the films Sicario and Wind River, the latter he also directed, this 2016 cult crime classic reaffirmed Sheridan as a major Hollywood talent. Led by a stellar cast, including Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges, this riveting neo-Western follows two brothers on the run from the law in Texas after carrying out a series of bank robberies. Gil Birmingham, who went on to collaborate with Sheridan on Yellowstone, joins Bridges as the two Texas Rangers in hot pursuit of the fugitive brothers, played by Pine and Ben Foster.

Emmy Noms Analysis: Reading Between the Lines of Tuesday's Announcement
On one level, the biggest surprise about Tuesday morning's Emmy nominations was how unsurprising they were — indeed, my final pre-noms forecast correctly projected, of the eventual nominees for best series, seven of eight dramas, eight of eight comedies and five of five limited/anthology series. But when you put them under a microscope, I think they tell an interesting story about today's TV landscape. HBO/HBO Max collected a platforms-leading and company-best 142 noms. Meanwhile, the biggest hauls for individual shows all traced back to Apple TV+ (which had its best year yet with 81 overall noms) and HBO/HBO Max, with the leaderboard topped by Apple's sophomore drama Severance (27, up from 14 for its prior season), HBO's limited series The Penguin (24), Apple's rookie comedy The Studio (23, matching the comedy series record set last year by FX's The Bear), the third installment of HBO's drama franchise The White Lotus (23, up from 20 for season one and matching the figure for season two) and the second season of HBO's drama The Last of Us (16, down from 24 for season one). Not far behind were Max's returning comedy Hacks (14) and rookie drama The Pitt (13). More from The Hollywood Reporter Emmy Awards: Nominations List (Updating Live) 2025 Emmy Nominations: Watch the Livestream Nominees in Two Emmys Categories Will Be Announced Ahead of Official TV Academy Livestream And yet, in a sense, Netflix — which finished in second-place with 121 noms, led by Adolescence (13) and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (11) — had as impressive a morning as anyone, landing at least one nom for 44 programs (next-best was HBO/HBO Max with 23 nominated programs) across 69 categories (bested only by HBO/HBO Max's 73). What does that tell us? Like everyone else, the roughly 24,000 TV Academy members have limited bandwidth. They check out the buzzy shows that everyone is talking about (with the exception of Taylor Sheridan's, which were yet again totally ignored), wherever they may be. But, beyond that, it seems that their reflexive move is to check out what's on Netflix. It's not that Netflix's shows are consistently stronger than other platforms' shows — they aren't. And Netflix didn't get noms for every show that it was pushing — see the underperformance of Squid Game and Everybody's Live With John Mulaney. But Netflix simply has more — and a wider variety of — offerings than anyone else. And yes, also devotes more personnel and resources to campaigning than anyone else. As a result, it seems to me, wherever a category's presumptive final slot was up for grabs, it broke for Netflix — see: acting noms for The Residence (Uzo Aduba), which has already been canceled; Sirens (Meghann Fahy), which is pure popcorn; anthology series Black Mirror (Rashida Jones); and the critically polarizing The Four Seasons (Colman Domingo). These ran up the streamers' numbers, as did strong showings in variety (Beyoncé Bowl, Conan O'Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and stand-up specials from Ali Wong, Sarah Silverman and Adam Sandler), nonfiction (Will & Harper, Martha, The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, Our Oceans, Chef's Table and Simone Biles Rising) and below-the-line categories (Bridgerton, Cobra Kai and Emily in Paris). One platform that punched above its weight was Hulu/FX on Hulu, which certainly didn't have as great a morning as it had a year ago, but still landed at least one nominee in each of the top three program categories: best drama (Paradise, for which Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson also landed far-from-assured noms), best comedy (The Bear and What We Do in the Shadows) and best limited/anthology (Dying for Sex). The only other platforms that can say the same: HBO/HBO Max (The Last of Us, The Pitt and The White Lotus for drama, Hacks for comedy and The Penguin for limited/anthology) and Netflix (The Diplomat for drama, Nobody Wants This for comedy and Adolescence, Black Mirror and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story for limited/anthology). The broadcast networks — CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and PBS — had far less cause for celebration, given that they landed only one series nom (ABC's Abbott Elementary for best comedy) and only five acting noms (Kathy Bates for CBS' Matlock; Bowen Yang for NBC's Saturday Night Live; and Quinta Brunson, Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph for Abbott Elementary). And for the first time in recent memory, not a single host of SNL was nominated in the comedy guest acting categories. However, a so-so haul for SNL's 50th season — seven noms — was boosted to an SNL season-record 31 if one also counts its noms for SNL50: The Anniversary Special (12), SNL50: The Homecoming Concert (six), SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night Live (three), Ladies & Gentlemen … 50 Years of SNL Music (two) and SNL 50th The Anniversary Special: Immersive Experience (one). And the networks did claim two of the three talk series slots, for ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS' The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (which are both underdogs to the defending champion, Comedy Central's The Daily Show). But if they are going to continue to take turns broadcasting the Emmys, then, as I have been saying for years, they really ought to insist of having separate categories for their programming, or else all they are doing is promoting their edgier competition and putting themselves out of business. In any event, I suppose I was most surprised by the underperformance of Apple's rookie drama Your Friends & Neighbors (not even a mention for TV Academy favorite Jon Hamm, and just a single nom, for its title theme music?); the overperformance of Apple's limited/anthology Presumed Innocent (which rolled out a full year ago, but still scored noms for not just Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard, as I expected, but also Bill Camp and Ruth Negga); the fact that Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale, which won best drama for its first season, ended its run with just one nom, for guest acting; and the out-of-nowhere best comedy supporting actor nom for Jeff Hiller for the final season of HBO's Somebody Somewhere. I was pleasantly surprised to see noms for Brian Tyree Henry (best limited/anthology actor for Apple's Dope Thief) and Sharon Horgan (best drama actress for Apple's Bad Sisters), and bummed by the misses of Patrick Ball (best drama supporting actor for The Pitt), Chase Sui Wonders (best comedy supporting actress for The Studio) and Diego Luna (best drama actor for Andor), each of whom were eminently worthy. Alas, no one gets everything they hope for. Phase two of the Emmy season has officially arrived, and the next month or so, leading up to the Aug. 18-27 window for final voting, is going to be a mad dash to the finish, given that many of the highest-profile categories are still up for grabs. In the best comedy race, can one of two past winners, The Bear or Hacks, hold off one of two popular rookies, The Studio and Nobody Wants This? Which of the eight nominees for best drama — none of which have won that award before, but which include fan favorites The Pitt, Severance and The White Lotus — will prevail? And can anything stop Adolescence in the limited/anthology race, or does Netflix have a third consecutive juggernaut, after Beef and Baby Reindeer, on its hands? Only time will tell.
