Yellowstone's Beth Dutton prevented HBO from making the show.
Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) could have easily been lost in "Yellowstone." Despite the machismo and braggadocio of the male characters.
After five seasons on the ranch, Beth has become the most feared woman in television, thanks to showrunner and co-creator Taylor Sheridan's prolific writing and use of kickass performers.
The immense appeal of "Yellowstone" and its generational spin-offs "1883" and "1923." has also boosted cable viewership for the Paramount Network.
HBO had the chance to bring "Yellowstone" to the network when Sheridan pitched "The Godfather" in Montana.
The solution also lets sellers use Amazon's distribution network and technology to control inventory levels across
Sheridan was forced to draw a line in the sand after complaints that Beth was too passionate for mainstream audiences. More specifically, women wouldn't relate to her.
Sheridan's lone-wolf storytelling and outspoken attitude have paid off now that his series practically single-handedly support Paramount+'s streaming service.
