Yellowstone TV Series

The Paramount TV Series Yellowstone is depicted in the Paradise Valley of Park County, Montana, east of Bozeman and south of Livingston bordering Yellowstone National Park. The ranch scenes are all filmed at the Chief Joseph Ranch in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley.

On the last part of the 3rd episode of the Epic Yellowstone series, Little Trail Creek Cabins is shown to the right of the Devils Slide.

The Madison (2026), a Taylor Sheridan drama starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, follows a New York family moving to Montana's Madison River Valley. While produced for Paramount+, it is available to stream via the Paramount+ channel on Amazon Prime Video. The series is now streaming in its entirety.

Note: Ensure you are selecting the 2026 drama series starring Michelle Pfeiffer, not the 2005 film Madison, which may also appear in searches.

The film tells the autobiographical story about two boys, Norman (Craig Sheffer) and Paul (Brad Pitt), growing up in 1920s Missoula, Montana under the watchful eye of their father, a Presbyterian minister. Their mornings are spent in school and religious study, while their afternoons are devoted to fly fishing in the nearby Blackfoot River. At home, however, the family's stoic emotions hint at trouble is to come. Norman goes to the east coast for college and lives there for six years, without returning home until then. In the meantime, Paul gets a job as a prolific journalist and makes a name for himself back home. The movie is about Norman's return home and his and Paul's summer together.

As adults, Paul is a rebellious journalist and his brother, Norman, is a level-headed, grounded teacher. Norman matures and channels his rebellion through his writing while dating Jessie Burns, while his reckless brother Paul turns to gambling and liquor. The film chronicles their intertwining and often conflicting lives, focusing on Norman's point of view, as they grow up in the shadow of their minister father. A great deal of the film surrounds the men's love of fly fishing for trout in Montana's rivers, and their shared experiences through it while growing up.
