Kevin Costner hosts Montana Governor Steve Bullock on the set of ‘Yellowstone’

Costner called the new series "a postcard for Montana."

"What a cool state to be the governor," Costner said. "If something like ‘Yellowstone’ has a way of highlighting, being somewhat of a dramatic love letter to your state, we’ll be successful. The writing for it is superior."
