Yellowstone Artisans

It’s FYC time, (for your consideration) for Emmys voting and we vote for more than the best actor and show, we vote for the artisans who help craft the story being told scene by scene. We were able to speak with three of the teams involved in Yellowstone, season 3.

  • Costume Designer | Johnetta Boone
  • Composers | Brian Tyler and Breton Vivian

“Yellowstone” stars world-renowned actor and Oscar®-winner Kevin Costner, who serves in the lead role, and is co-created by critically-acclaimed, Oscar®-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (“Hell or High Water” and “Sicario,”) and John Linson.

“Yellowstone” chronicles the Dutton family, led by John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.

Season three welcomes Josh Holloway to the cast that includes Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards and Gil Birmingham.
