By Rick Gables

Paramount Network will premiere season four of Yellowstone on Sunday, Nov. 7, at 8 P.M. ET/PT. Starring Oscar winner Kevin Costner, the series chronicles the Dutton family, led by John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders, an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park. The ensemble cast also includes Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, Finn Little, Ryan Bingham, Gil Birmingham and Will Patton. Jacki Weaver, Piper Perabo and Kathryn Kelly join the cast in guest starring roles.

PBS will premiere the new two-part Nature: Born in the Rockies special on Wednesdays, Nov. 10 & 17 at 8 p.m. ET (check your local listings). Journey deep into the wild heart of North America’s Rocky Mountains and experience this rugged land through the eyes of its iconic wildlife. Follow the drama as newborns make their way in one of the world’s most challenging and spectacular habitats on Earth. In the initial episode, “First Steps,” we experience the struggles of animals trying to raise their young in this unforgiving environment.

HGTV will premiere its new extreme tabletop and special event design competition series, Table Wars, on Friday, Nov. 12, at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series is a celebration of the unrestrained imagination and breathtaking creativity displayed by eight top event designers. The seven episodes will feature innovative tabletop exhibitions that must pass muster with lead judge Martha Stewart, the Emmy Award-winning television personality as well as Table Wars host, actress, design enthusiast and Emmy Award winner Tamera Mowry-Housley with Chris Hessne completing the judging panel. During each episode, the competitors must design and install the ultimate themed dining environment that features stunning tablescapes, centerpieces, lighting and displays to wow the judges and avoid elimination. The table warriors will also have access to a fully stocked workshop and event space to design and build their over-the-top themed creations. The finalist who delivers the most over-the-top event space will win the Table Wars title and a $50,000 cash prize.
