Yellowstone official trailer
Yellowstone star Piper Perabo is teaming up with Lost and The Good Doctor’s Daniel Dae Kim for a new thriller that’s shaping up to be one of the summer’s best binge-watches.
Perabo is best known to fans of the Paramount Network Western as Summer Higgins, an activist and love interest of ranch owner John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner).
She became a divisive addition to the series in its fourth and fifth seasons, frequently clashing with John’s fierce daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly).
Her latest project sees her teaming up with Korean-American star Kim for a pulse-racing thriller that’s guaranteed to keep viewers glued to their screens.
Kim stars as volatile former US intelligence operative David Jung, who’s living in South Korea before his life is upended when a dark moment from his past leads to unexpected consequences.

A synopsis describes the six-part series as a "character-driven spy thriller that explores complex family dynamics within the treacherous world of global espionage.
“[David Jung’s] life is blown to pieces when the consequences of an impossible decision from his past come back to haunt him.
"He finds himself pursued by Rebecca, a deadly, sociopathic young agent assigned to kill him, and Caddis, the sinister spy organisation she works for."
First-look images of the series suggest Perabo’s character is a member of Caddis leading the hunt for Kim’s rogue agent.
The supporting cast also includes The Secret Art of Human Flight’s Reina Hardesty and Louis Landau, breakout from the hit Disney+ series Rivals.
Other cast members include Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, and Nayoon Kim.
Finally, South Korean stars Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa will be making guest appearances.
Based on a popular graphic novel series by Arash Amel for BOOM! Studios, this unmissable thriller comes from the creative mind of showrunner Ken Woodruff, best known for The Mentalist and Gotham. Crime author Steph Cha is also co-writing.
Star and executive producer Kim said the series is "the realisation of a longtime dream to bring together American and Korean storytellers and create a show that bridges two cultures that I love deeply.
"I couldn't be happier with the creative team we've assembled, both in front of and behind the camera, and I'm grateful to Ken Woodruff, BOOM! Studios, 3AD, Amazon, and everyone else who helped bring it to life."
