“Yellowstone” star Piper Perabo contested the concept that the hit Paramount drama is simply a “red-state” program and stated she believes both sides of the political aisle are represented.

The 46-year-old starlet, who plays an activist called Summer season on the Kevin Costner– lead series, confessed that she and reveal developer Taylor Sheridan “don’t always agree politically,” according to The Hollywood Reporter, however included she believes the program proves that those on both sides have more in typical than not.

“But what I like about doing it [Yellowstone] is that Taylor and I don’t always agree politically,” Perabo discussed.

“And through knowing each other socially and making this show, we realize that we fight for a lot more common things than we argue about,” she included. “I feel like that’s happening with John [Costner’s character] and Summer, and I would hope we can have that happen in America.”

“So to be part of the conversation where people are trying to see what common good we can work on together, and then we’ll deal with maybe the more complicated issues once we’ve got all the stuff we agree on settled?” Perabo continued. “That’s pretty cool.”

The “Covert Affairs” star stated that as somebody who is “politically active and an activist,” she wishes to discover “that common ground” on things larger than “Daylight Saving Time.”

“I want to find the more complicated common ground. And I feel like ‘Yellowstone’ does that,” the starlet shared, keeping in mind that much of the year, she resides in a really rural neighborhood in Western Montana. The starlet kept in mind that she follows the politics and problems individuals are worried about where she lives.

“Some people see the show one way, and some the other,” she included. “I think there are a lot of both sides in ‘Yellowstone.’ Almost no show has as many Native American leads as ‘Yellowstone’ does, except for ‘Reservation Dogs.’ And to me, that’s very cool and modern and diverse. So there are a lot of things where I think ‘Yellowstone’ is bigger than just one color.”
