Taylor Sheridan’s hit show Yellowstone is going to broadcast television this fall, but it won’t be exactly how you might remember it. The move to Sunday nights on CBS means the show will need to undergo some edits.
TVLine reported that viewers can expect CBS to bleep out some of the show’s colorful language. Other changes might come to address nudity or some of the extreme violence. Episodes might also have to be edited to fit the hourlong TV slots.

The announcement comes as part of a reshuffle of CBS’s fall schedule. According to Variety, the network added acquired programs and unscripted shows to cope with the loss of original programs caused by the Hollywood work stoppages.

Paramount Global, the company behind Yellowstone, also owns CBS. The Western began airing on the Paramount Network in 2018 and has since appeared on Peacock. Part two of Yellowstone’s fifth and final season is slated to premiere this November.
The series follows the powerful Dutton family, led by John Dutton (Kevin Costner), who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the country. Sheridan, a Weatherford resident who grew up in Fort Worth, has also developed spinoffs such as 1883 and 1923. Matthew McConaughey will star in the next Yellowstone spinoff.
