The New Yellowstone season is about to start this weekend. Is there anyway I can watch Yellowstone on Paramount+. I signed up on Paramount+ just to watch Yellowstone.

Welcome to the Roku Community, @mjzertuche!

Thanks for reaching out. We'd be happy to help you stream the Yellowstone series on the Roku streaming platform. 

As we've checked, the series Yellowstone is being offered on Direct TV, Peacock, Philo, Fandango at Home, and Prime Video apps. We don't have any information on this content being offered on Paramount+. We highly recommend directly reaching out to the channel provider to ask further.

You may reach them here for further assistance: Paramount+ Support | Contact Us

We hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,
Carly

@mjzertuche-

When Paramount first started Yellowstone, Paramount+ did not exist.  Yellowstone went to their Paramount cable/satellite channel and they contracted with Peacock for streaming. 

You can now watch the first 4 seasons on Paramount+ but Peacock will be the first to get streaming rights to season 5 episodes, likely several months after Paramount's cable channel has run and rerun them.  Paramount+ will get them eventually but only after the contract with Peacock has been fulfilled.  

If you don't want to wait that long you'll need a subscription to a service that carries the Paramount (not Paramount+) channel, preferably one that includes DVR provisions.

Couldnt stream Yellowstone on Paramount Plus. Had to add it to my service with Xfinity. So why pay to stream Paramount Plus? Someone explain it to me, please.

You would have to purchase Philo at an outrageous price in order to watch it on Sundays at 8 pm.

It will air on Peacock six months after the final episode. What a disappointment.

It's on Hulu.

Wow. So sorry. You can also watçh it on Peacock. But double check first.

It is advertised as be on paramount  plus. That's fraudulent.

It airs on The Paramount Network, not Paramount+. Very confusing, but I think the network name came first, when Paramount+ was named CBS All Access. Paramount Network is a cable network.

As noted, Philo is the cheapest option if you MUST watch it now. It has many other cable networks, many FAST networks, a 1 year unlimited DVR with commercial marking so you can quickly skip over, and now also includes an AMC+ subscription.

It's confusing, but media rights are all over the place. There are multiple production companies for Yellowstone, and MTV Studios is only involved with S4 and S5. That is probably why Peacock has first streaming rights, as the original production companies made the deal with them.
