CBS Sets Fall Premiere Date for Yellowstone

There won’t be many TV shows airing this fall, as the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strikes have productions shut down and the studios have yet to reach an agreement with the separate guilds. The various networks are handling the lack of original scripted programming differently, and CBS is going with a hefty does of reality TV alongside the network debut of the most popular show on cable. CBS announced earlier this summer that its post-football Sunday nights would be dominated by Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone.

After airing its first four-and-a-half seasons on the Paramount Network, Yellowstone will make its network debut this fall. CBS will air episodes of the acclaimed series on Sunday nights, beginning with the very first season. On Thursday, the network released its full fall TV premiere schedule, letting fans know exactly when Yellowstone would begin airing.

The Yellowstone run on CBS will begin on Sunday, September 17th. Additional episodes of the show will air every Sunday night, though how many depends on the football schedule. If CBS airs a double-header for the NFL that day, there will only be one Yellowstone episode. On days when CBS only airs one game, Yellowstone will air back-to-back episodes.
