TheYellowstoneseason 5 trailer had three times as many views, six times as many engagements, and four times the amount of social media mentions compared to the season 4 trailer. It is no doubt that fans are waiting in heated anticipation to see what is in store for the Dutton family.
The record-breaking trailer opens with John Dutton swearing in as the Governor of Montana, vowing to protect the state from “all kinds of enemies, foreign or domestic.” After swearing in, John fires everyone who works at the office, and nominates his daughter Beth as his new Chief-of-Staff, thus insuring a strong political and familial bond. The rest of the trailer builds up the drama as the Dutton family’s power is challenged, an apparent declaration of war is signed, and fights and gunfire breakout. John will likely face a lot of challenges in his new role as governor. After all, political life is not like the bucolic ranch life that the Duttons are used to.
