Disturbing Descoberta triggers conflicts on the ranch
Beth and Rip’s desire for peace is abruptly interrupted when Rip discovers a body in the middle of the ranch where the couple settled. Esse event marks the turning point that triggers a series of conflicts even more complex than those faced before. The trailer shows tense scenes that promise to maintain the dramatic tone characteristic of the Yellowstone franchise.
The discovery of the corpse acts as a trigger for a complicated and potentially dangerous relationship with Beaulah Jackson, a character played by Annette Bening. Ela controls a ranch nearby Beth and Rip’s property and emerges as a formidable antagonist. Determinada to protect his lands at any cost, Beaulah promises to create significant obstacles for the protagonists throughout the first season.
Elenco brings together established names and new talents
