- Yellowstone is reportedly coming to Netflix in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands
- The popular Western drama will not be available on Netflix US due to streaming rights
- Viewers in the US can only stream Yellowstone on Peacock and Paramount Network
If you want to stream Paramount Plus’ biggest neo-western drama Yellowstone, but you are not subscribed to that specific streaming service, then Netflix might have something for you, as the hit Taylor Sheridan series is reportedly being rolled out in more countries, including the UK – although not in the US.
Thanks to Sheridan, Paramount Plus has become the home of neo-Western dramas, and it all started with the behemoth Yellowstone, which has since spawned two spin-off shows – 1883 And 1923and more are in the works. Netflix has the Yellowstone hype in early 2024 and managed to secure the rights to stream one of the best Paramount Plus shows. Then, on January 15 last year, Yellowstone was first released internationally, with seasons 1-3 landing in at least 18 countries, including Brazil, India and Germany.
Yellowstone is now available to stream on Netflix in more than 50 countries, with the show being released in waves. After the first batch in January 2024, other countries, such as South Africa and Israel, took over the show in the summer. By December 2024, some Eastern European countries and the Baltic states had also done so Yellowstone added to their Netflix library.
Now, Yellowstone Rumor has it that it will expand to even more countries on Netflix What’s on Netflix reports that the series will be available from January 30 on one of the top streaming services in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. There’s no news of the show coming to Netflix in Australia, where viewers can currently stream it on Stan.
It’s unknown how many seasons will be released for these three regions, but considering Netflix’s previous rollout saw seasons 1-3 become available in most countries, we can expect the same to happen here. Seasons 4 and 5 are currently only available on Paramount Plus in the countries where that streaming service is available. In the meantime, Yellowstone is streaming exclusively on Peacock in the US, but it appears the Kevin Costner-led drama won’t be added to the Netflix library there any time soon.
Why isn’t Yellowstone coming to Netflix in the US?
Netflix only has that Yellowstone licensed in certain territories except the US. NBCUniversal’s Peacock has acquired U.S. streaming rights Yellowstone from CBS in 2020, meaning the series will only stream on Peacock and Paramount Network.
According to PukPeacock retains US rights to it Yellowstone until four years after the last episode aired. The Yellowstone The season 5 finale aired on December 15, 2024, so we’ll have to wait until 2028 to see if the show finds a new streaming home in the US.
While Yellowstone may not be available, there are plenty of other Paramount shows to enjoy on Netflix US, such as the Showtime series Right And Your Honor, as well as Star Trek: Child Wonder. But if you’re looking for more Costner cowboy mayhem, you’ll love his western film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 has found a home on Netflix.
