How to watch 'Yellowstone' online for free and without cable
Everything you need for how to watch all episodes of 'Yellowstone'

Looking for how to watch "Yellowstone" online? We're not surprised. The Paramount Network Western drama show was one of the biggest shows on TV during its five-season run. It even spawned an entire Sheridanverse of shows, including several "Yellowstone" spinoffs.
But now that "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 is over, you might be wondering how you can still watch old episodes online. That's more confusing than you might think because you can't watch any episodes of "Yellowstone" on Paramount Plus. Instead, you'll need to opt for Peacock. Thankfully, it is one of the best streaming services we've tested, and you'll get much more for your money than just "Yellowstone."
Again, if you're confused by this, we get it. Paramount Plus, as a Paramount-owned streaming service, would be the logical place to watch old episodes of a Paramount Network show. Normally, you'd be right, but due to licensing agreements, "Yellowstone" instead goes to Peacock after the episodes air on Paramount Network.
There is some good news though. "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 — the final season — is finally coming to Peacock. You can start streaming "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 on Peacock on Sunday, March 16.
So with those basics covered, let's dive into everything you need to know about how to watch "Yellowstone" online for free and without cable.

What is "Yellowstone"?
In "Yellowstone", Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, head of the Dutton family, which has owned the Dutton Ranch for six generations. The ranch is located near Yellowstone National Park and Native American reservations.
John 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.
If you've already watched the entire series and want more, there's good news. The show's ratings success led to a Paramount Plus spinoff, "1883" that tells the origin story of the Dutton family. Another "Yellowstone" prequel, "1923", is also available to stream on Paramount Plus and several more spinoffs are in the works.
Kelly is the streaming channel editor for Tom’s Guide, so basically, she watches TV for a living. Previously, she was a freelance entertainment writer for Yahoo, Vulture, TV Guide and other outlets. When she’s not watching TV and movies for work, she’s watching them for fun, seeing live music, writing songs, knitting and gardening.
