Taylor Sheridan\u2019s Yellowstone<\/em><\/a> universe continues to expand \u2014 but whatever happened to the planned 6666 spinoff?<\/p>\n

The popular franchise, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. While some viewers came for Kevin Costner\u2019s portrayal of family patriarch John Dutton \u2014 and stayed for the show\u2019s other stars, including Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Gil Birmingham<\/strong> and Cole Hauser<\/strong> \u2014 others were drawn to the dramatic story lines and surprising twists.<\/p>\n

Sheridan has expanded his TV universe with original shows including<\/a> Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness<\/em> and Tulsa King<\/em>. He has also offered prequel shows to Yellowstone<\/em>, starting with 1883<\/em> and later 1923<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Before the flagship Yellowstone<\/em> series came to an end, ViacomCBS president Chris McCarthy<\/strong> confirmed in 2023 that another spinoff starring Matthew McConaughey<\/strong> was in the works. One year later, however, the McConaughey spinoff appeared to be dead and replaced by a different show titled The Madison<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSince Yellowstone debuted in 2018, the story of the Dutton family has had enough potential to inspire six spinoffs (and counting) to add to the Paramount Network roster \u2014 but with that has come delays. Yellowstone focuses on a powerful family that runs the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. Amid their success, the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Michelle Pfeiffer<\/strong> stars in the upcoming series alongside Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox <\/strong>and Kevin Zegers<\/strong>. Another series, Y: Marshals,<\/em>\u00a0aired on CBS and follows Kayce Dutton (Grimes) as he leaves the Yellowstone ranch to join the U.S. Marshals.<\/p>\n

Some Yellowstone<\/em> fans, however, are still waiting for the previously teased 6666<\/em> spinoff, which was set to follow Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White<\/strong>) during his time at the Four Sixes ranch in Texas.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cFounded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666,\u201d the official series description stated. \u201cStill operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing. \u2026 The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the most recent update about 6666<\/em><\/a> came in 2022 when it was announced that the show would air on Paramount Network instead of Paramount+. Since there have been more current updates about a Beth and Rip series and a possible prequel titled 1944<\/em>, fans have taken the public silence regarding 6666 as a sign that production won\u2019t be moving forward. (Sheridan purchased the real Four Sixes in 2021.)<\/p>\n
