Why can’t I watch Yellowstone on Paramount Plus? I’m a subscriber.

Here is an explanation that I searched up.

(Edited to correct misinformation)

Paramount is owned by ViacomCBS.

Yellowstone was released on Viacom's Paramount Network cable/satellite channel.  For streaming, they decided to license Yellowstone to NBC Peacock rather than their own Paramount streaming app in the hopes of reaching a broader audience and to obtain the licensing fees.  This was before the Paramount+ streaming service was introduced. 

Peacock currently has the first 3 already-shown seasons, but season 4, currently being released one week at a time, is only available on its original source, the Paramount Network on cable/satellite. 

I expect the whole of season 4 will be available on Peacock when it has been completely shown on Paramount.  The whole thing may come home to Paramount+ when the licensing deal with Peacock expires.

UPDATE

Peacock has announced it will air season 4 of Yellowstone beginning March 28, 2022.

Season 1-3 aren't on Paramount+ either. I just looked for them.

You're right.  I misspoke.  Yellowstone seasons 1-3 stream on Peacock, not Paramount or Paramount+.  I've edited my prior post to correct the misinformation.
