The hit show stars Kevin Costner as aging patriarch John Dutton, a man caught up in violent struggles for control over the Yellowstone. It’s a real estate goldmine for billionaire land developers, and equally coveted by the neighboring Native American community.

John’s fiercely loyal children help him prevent such takeovers, including Ex-Navy SEAL Kayce (Luke Grimes), attorney Jamie (Wes Bentley), and no-nonsense financier Beth (Kelly Reilly). Together, they do some unconscionable things to keep their ruggedly beautiful home safe.

As a result, they’ve made numerous enemies: the murderous Beck Brothers, a disarmingly charismatic rancher played by Josh Holloway, and most recently, Market Equities’ fierce CEO Caroline Warner (Jacki Weaver), who’s ready to go atomic on the Dutton’s after Beth sabotaged her company.

So, whether new to the Dalton saga or merely catching up, read on as we explain how to watch Yellowstone online from anywhere today – stream every season and episode of the hit Kevin Costner drama wherever you are right now.

NBC's streaming platform Peacock is your one-stop shop for everything Yellowstone, the drama series that brought Kevin Costner back into the spotlight.

And while Peacock does have a free plan – an ad-supported experience with a fraction of its content library available – you'll need to subscribe to their Peacock Premium to watch Yellowstone seasons 1 through 4.

At $4.99 a month you can enjoy whole seasons of TV show Yellowstone and watch new NBC episodes the day after they’re broadcast, hundreds of movies and live sports, in addition to Peacock Original content like murder mystery One of Us Is Lying.

Peacock Premium is ad-supported, though, so if you want uninterrupted viewing of your favorite TV shows, upgrade to Premium Plus for $9.99 a month. Both plans have money-saving annual options, too, meaning you can watch more for less – and factor in the arrival of Yellowstone season 5 once it's finished its cable TV run.

Peacock is also available to stream on a wide range of devices: Smart TVs including Apple and Android, Chrome, Mac, and Windows operating systems, iPhones and Android devices, Roku devices, plus the PS5 and Xbox series S, and many more besides. You can find the full list here.

Out of the US? As detailed above, just download a VPN to stream Yellowstone online from the very first episode to the latest season 4 developments, and watch from wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Yellowstone from outside your country

The best option for watching Yellowstone online is NBC's streaming service, Peacock – but unfortunately it's a US-only service. So, bear in mind that Americans registered to the platform won't be able to access it while abroad, through geo-blocking.

A Virtual Private Network – or VPN – is a way around that problem. It changes your IP address, allowing you to watch content from home while you're anywhere else in the world.
