The teaser begins with Margaret Dutton, played by Hill, speaking about the realities of the frontier, stating: ‘I heard a thousand stories, but none could describe this place.’
Shea Brennan, portrayed by Sam Elliott, is then shown during a moment of reflection while the singer’s character screams at an offscreen occurrence.
While a cowboy tends to a herd of livestock, Dutton is heard stating: ‘the road west is filled with failures…it was a dream, and this dream was coming true.’
The married couple and their eldest daughter Elsa, played by Isabel May, are then seen joining a sizable caravan of pioneers that later attends a somber burial.

Margaret’s husband James, played by McGraw, then defends his wagon from a group of attackers and fires a shot towards one of them.

The producer later released a statement regarding the agreement, and noted via Deadline that he was happy to be working on new shows related to the drama series.
‘I am excited to continue the story of Yellowstone and…to keep on expanding the family for the fans,’ he said.
