FOX Nation’s president, Jason Klarman, announced a deal with Academy Award-winning actor, filmmaker, and Yellowstone star Kevin Costner for a four-part series commemorating the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park in 2022.
The new series, Yellowstone: One-Fifty, will premiere in the fourth quarter of 2022 and will consist of four one-hour episodes about the history and wildlife of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone One-Fifty, created by Costner’s Territory Films and Warm Springs Productions, will be narrated and hosted by Costner, with episodes released sequentially on the platform throughout its debut week. Warm Springs Productions’ Marc Pierce and Territory Partner Rod Lake will executive produce.

Klarman said in a statement, “Yellowstone One-Fifty exemplifies the superior creative content that we strive to deliver exclusively to our subscribers.” We are thrilled to be working on this project with an iconic actor and filmmaker of Kevin Costner’s caliber.”
Costner is well-known for his extensive major motion picture career, which includes Dances with Wolves, Field of Dreams, The Untouchables, Bull Durham, JFK, The Bodyguard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Silverado, Open Range, Wyatt Earp, and Tin Cup, as well as the miniseries Hatfields & McCoys. Yellowstone, a hit show on the Paramount Network, is his first regular television role, and the show was recently nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Drama Series Ensemble.
Costner has also received two Academy Awards and two Golden Globes for his performance in and directing of Dances with Wolves, as well as an Emmy and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his role in Hatfields and McCoys and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in Hidden Figures.
FOX Nation is a direct-to-consumer on-demand streaming service designed to supplement the FOX News Channel experience by providing a members-only destination for the network’s most ardent and devoted followers. The subscription service, which includes nearly 5,000 hours of content, includes conservative opinion programming, lifestyle, and entertainment content, as well as historical documentaries and investigative series from a variety of FOX News personalities for $5.99 per month/$64.99 per year.
FOX Nation, which debuted in 2018, is accessible via foxnation.com and an app for iOS and Android devices, as well as Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One, Vizio TVs, and Samsung TVs, as well as YouTube TV, Comcast Xfinity, Cox Contour, and The Roku Channel.
Yellowstone, Costner’s first series regular role, has become one of television’s biggest blockbusters, with more than 10 million people turning in by the conclusion of its fourth season. Last month, it was revived for a fifth season.
However, it has become a streaming smash — although for NBCUniversal’s Peacock, courtesy to an agreement with Paramount that precedes the introduction of its Paramount+ streaming service. With Paramount+ commissioning its own Yellowstone spinoff and Fox Nation collaborating with Costner on a Yellowstone-themed docuseries, the park is becoming nearly ubiquitous on streaming.
Costner is the biggest figure in Hollywood to sign a programming agreement with Fox Nation, which offers a variety of unscripted shows presented by Fox News personnel as well as original content produced by folks like Nancy Grace. However, it has also ventured into the entertainment and documentary realms, most recently with the return of the reality series Cops last year.
