Three years ago, Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind the hit series “Yellowstone,”

announced an exciting expansion of the franchise. He revealed plans for a new series

set on the iconic 4 Sixes Ranch in Texas.

Since then, fans have eagerly awaited updates as other spin-offs like “1883” and “1923” have already graced our screens. Finally, we have fresh details on this anticipated project, with a release date just around the corner.

Located in Guthrie, Texas, the 4 Sixes Ranch spans over 275,000 acres. Established in 1870 by Captain Samuel “Burk” Burnett, it started with 100 head of cattle and grew into one of Texas’s most renowned ranches. The 4 Sixes is famous for its American Quarter Horses, celebrated for their speed, athleticism, and temperament. It’s no surprise that Sheridan, a true cowboy at heart, is fascinated by this ranch’s rich history and cultural significance.

Sheridan’s connection to the 4 Sixes Ranch goes beyond professional interest. Recently, he acquired the ranch from the last member of the Burnett family, solidifying his commitment to preserving its legacy. Sheridan believes that being a Texan comes with a responsibility to uphold the state’s cultural heritage, and the 4 Sixes Ranch is a significant part of that legacy.

The series, set to be a contemporary Western drama, will delve into the lives of those who work and live on the 4 Sixes Ranch. It aims to explore cowboy culture and the modern challenges of the West. After three years of production, the show is expected to serve as a sequel to “Yellowstone,” with the 4 Sixes Ranch potentially becoming the new home for the Dutton family saga.

Jefferson White will reprise his role as Jimmy, while Kathryn Kelly will return as Emily, the ranch’s vet. Ryan Bingham is also expected to appear as Walker. With “Yellowstone” ending after its fifth season, there’s speculation that key characters like Rip and Beth, played by Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, may transition to the new series. Additionally, Matthew McConaughey, rumored to star in a new “Yellowstone” show, could join the cast, possibly as the ranch’s owner.
