Around the Remote: Kevin Costner’s gripping season of ‘Yellowstone’ ends
DON’T MISS: “Yellowstone” – Another gripping – and occasionally gruesome – season of Kevin Costner’s wildly popular summer drama series comes to a close, and there’s an ominous feeling in the air. As the battle for the ranch reaches a boiling point, John Dutton (Costner) sits down at the negotiating table with former friends and foes. We won’t be at all surprised if someone doesn’t make it out of the finale alive, but we’re at least heartened by the fact that the series already has been renewed for a fourth season. (9 p.m. Sunday, Paramount Network)
