Spoilers for 'Yellowstone' Season 3 Episode 1 'You're the Indian Now' 

After a year since Season 2 premiered on Paramount, the network's most popular show is back with a Season 3. Following the lives of the Dutton family that finds itself protecting their land from outsiders - land developers, builders, politicians and the neighbouring Native American community - the show has earned itself the very deserving title of summer's best show over the course of its first two seasons. 

Now with the series back, the story picks up almost immediately after the events of the last year. The Beck brothers had kidnapped Tate (Brecken Merrill) and while the Dutton family destroyed them, they have new enemies this season, which promises to be an explosive season. And fans of the show couldn't be more excited. 

"'Yellowstone' writers setting us up for a roller coaster ride," tweeted a fan. "Been not so patiently waiting for @Yellowstone to come back on! Season 3 is already looking good," added another. 

The entire Dutton family is back - Monica (Kelsey Asbille) included. But fans have their favorites and they're happier to have them back on the screens. "Rip is a happy man!" tweeted a fan.

Rip has been quite the ladies man throughout the run of 'Yellowstone'. Women in the audience swoon when Cole Hauser brings his intense, business-only persona alive as Rip. "All is right with my world again #RipWheeler is back on my screen!! Excellent start to season three!! @Yellowstone @colehauser #TeamRip," tweeted another fan. "I’ll say it again, @colehauser is the unspoken MVP of @Yellowstone. #Yellowstone."

"Watching @Yellowstone and SAYING GOD LORD THAT MAN IS FINE @colehauser while my husband says hello I’m right here!  me 24 years of marriage shush it let me dream! We love this show," added another. 

Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) was also welcomed by fans with the same zest. "Give Kelly Reilly all the awards, please. #YellowstoneTV @Yellowstone." And the fan favorite couple is also getting a lot of attention. "Everyone deserves someone who looks at them the way Rip looks at Beth," tweeted a viewer. 

Speaking of Beth, fans are looking forward to know more about one of the biggest questions of the show - what exactly happened between Beth and Jamie (Wes Bentley) that she hates him so much? "Awesome start for season 3! Looks like we might know what happened between Beth and Jamie next week. I say its baby related. Maybe Jamie caused her miscarriage?? Also, Rip and Beth... "

The drama, gore and violence and scheming is back for another season. And fans now know they are in for a ride. "Freaking Yellowstone man....Season 3 is not going to disappoint!!"
