Quotes

"Taylor has done it again with nearly 16 million viewers watching Yellowstone's return on Sunday night, solidifying its status as the #1 show across all of TV," said Chris McCarthy President/CEO of Showtime/Paramount Media Networks. "The premiere night was up across all demos, most interestingly with younger viewers up nearly 60%, proving this franchise still has a lot of room to grow."

"Taylor and I could not be more thrilled with the response to our season five premiere. When we started this journey, we all truly believed in Taylor's vision for the Dutton family and now the fans have spoken. We cannot thank Chris McCarthy, MTV Entertainment Studios/Paramount Network enough for their support - they have taken our show to places we never dreamed possible and we value their partnership and friendship more than we can say," said David Glasser, CEO, 101 Studios.
