Kevin Costner takes part in the filming of "Yellowstone" in Missoula.


MISSOULA, Mont. – Yellowstone, the popular TV show, has returned to Missoula for filming, bringing with it a slew of big names. 

On Wednesday, the front yard of the Missoula County Courthouse was crowded with extras and a film team. 

Bystanders gasped in awe as they witnessed Kevin Costner and his co-stars film sequences for a forthcoming episode. 

The Dutton family and land claims are essential to Yellowstone. Missoula and the Bitterroot valleys were used as filming sites for the show. 

The fifth season of Yellowstone will premiere on the Paramount Network on November 13th. 

The fourth season of "Yellowstone," according to the Montana Bureau of Business & Economic Research at the University of Montana, brought in more than $70 million for the state. 

Several Montana companies benefited from the studio's spending on "Yellowstone" during its five-month shoot in western Montana, which included everything from hotel and rental cars to veterinary and animal services. 

The investigation discovered the following as a result of "Yellowstone": 

There are 527 permanent employment in Montana, not counting the 624 Montana people that worked as extras during production. 

Montana households earn $25.3 million per year in personal income. 

Additional gross receipts of $85.8 million for Montana businesses and non-profit organizations. 

According to BBER director Patrick Barkey, the state government's annual revenues increased by $10.6 million. 

"The production activities of 'Yellowstone' season four in Montana sustained employment and income far beyond its own economic footprint, making Montana's economy larger and more wealthy than it would have been otherwise," Barkey stated in a news release. "The high-paying nature of production-related occupations, as well as the substantial demand for locally created goods and services, were the primary reasons for the significant economic consequences." 

According to the research, Montana's television and film industries have grown in the last ten years, with 122 productions filmed in 2019. Some of those movies were eligible for a tax credit. In exchange for locating activities within their states, more than 30 jurisdictions, including Montana, already grant studios some type of tax credit, which is typically transferable.
