Yellowsone: 6666 is upcoming spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s

hit Western drama Yellowstone on Paramount+. As the main

series comes to a close in 2024, series creator Taylor Sheridan

is fleshing out his contemporary Western universe through multiple shows. While 1923 and 1883, the first Yellowstone prequels, fleshes out the very roots of the Dutton ranching empire in Montana, Yellowstone: 6666 will reveal more about the well-known 6666 or Four Sixes Ranch in Texas.

Yellowstone ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) was sent by John Dutton to the Four Sixes ranch to learn some essential cowboy skills. As Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) explains, the Four Sixes is practically “where cowboying was invented.” Jimmy returns to the Dutton ranch in Yellowstone season 4, episode 10, “Grass on the Streets and Weeds on the Rooftops” as a new man. Yellowstone: 6666 is bound to reveal much more about what goes on at the notorious but highly respected Texas ranch, and will take the franchise out of Montana for the first time.

Yellowstone: 6666 Is Confirmed

The Spinoff Was Announced In 2021

The upcoming spinoff, Yellowstone: 6666, has been confirmed, and the show was announced back in February 2021 (via Entertainment Weekly). When the show was first announced, nothing was known about the cast, crew, or even many story details, and it has remained that way in the years since. There’s been little movement since 2021, and the current status of 6666 is up in the air. Various other Taylor Sheridan projects (Landman, Tulsa King, etc) have taken precedent, and it’s clear that 6666 might not be a high priority as the celebrated TV producer moves forward.
