If March Madness isn't your thing (or your bracket is good and busted), Yellowstone is here for your alternative viewing pleasure, as Paramount Network is airing a Yellowstone marathon over the Easter weekend, starting Friday, March 29, and going through Sunday, March 31.

The airing of Yellowstone has become a bit of a tradition for Paramount Network over holiday weekends, though this one is going to be a little different. Instead of Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner's entire neo-western airing over the course of the weekend, Paramount Network is showing all episodes from Yellowstone season 3 through where things left off with Yellowstone season 5. This makes it a great way to get a refresher on the biggest events in the show ahead of its expected fall 2024 return. 

Take a look at the complete Yellowstone marathon schedule right here:

Sunday, March 31

Obviously that's a lot of TV to commit to. So, if sitting down to watch the whole thing episode by episode sounds a bit too much like hard work, recording the marathon is always an option. Or, alternatively, if you have the Peacock streaming service you can always catch up at a more leisurely pace.

If you want to watch any (or all) of the episodes live, you need to be sure to have a pay-TV cable service that carries Paramount Network, or a live TV streaming service that does, like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Philo TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.

About Yellowstone

Yellowstone is part of the Taylor Sheridan "universe." It's a neo-western that follows the Dutton family, who own one of the largest cattle ranches not just in Montana but the entire country. However, they are besieged by enemies on all sides that want to take the land from them. The series stars Kevin Costner as patriarch John Dutton, Kelly Reilly (Britannia, True Detective), Wes Bentley (Interstellar) and Luke Grimes (Fifty Shades trilogy) as his children. Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White and Gil Birmingham also star.

The show has slowly built up its audience to the point where season 4 had episodes that delivered some of the highest ratings of any cable show in 2021. That audience is likely to grow even further, as UK audiences can now watch the entire series in one place on Paramount Plus

Yellowstone season 5 is going to mark the end of the popular series, but there is a Yellowstone sequel series on the way. Plus, there are multiple Yellowstone prequels with 1883 and 1923.
