BIG UPDATE: 6666 – Release Date Prediction, Story & Everything We Know About The Spinoff
Yellowstone: 6666 will be the third series set in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe. Here's what we know about the Yellowstone spinoff.
- Yellowstone: 6666 is a confirmed spinoff of the hit Western series Yellowstone that will focus on the infamous Four Sixes Ranch in Texas.
- The release date for Yellowstone: 6666 has yet to be announced, but it is unlikely to premiere before 2024.
- The cast for Yellowstone: 6666 is still uncertain, but there are theories that characters from the original series may appear, or the spinoff may introduce a completely new set of characters.
Yellowsone: 6666 is upcoming spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s hit Western crime/antihero drama Yellowstone on Paramount+. After the conclusion of Yellowstone season 4, series creator Taylor Sheridan is fleshing out his contemporary Western universe through multiple shows. While 1923 and 1883, the first Yellowstone prequel, fleshes out the very roots of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch empire in Montana, Yellowstone: 6666 will reveal more about the infamous 6666 or Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. This infamous ranch has already been eased
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.
There’s haven’t been many updates on the upcoming Yellowstone sequel since it was announced, however some Yellowstone: 6666 casting rumors emerged in mid 2023. As reported by various outlets in May 2023, Matthew McConaughey (The Wolf of Wall Street, The Gentleman) has been rumored to be in talks about joining the cast of Yellowstone: 6666 (via WeGotThisCovered). However, nothing has been announced by McConaughey, creator Taylor Sheridan, or Paramount. McConaughey would certainly be an attention-grabbing cast member though, and given his past performances it’s easy to see him fitting into a Taylor Sheridan show like Yellowstone: 6666
Yellowstone: 6666 Is Confirmed
The upcoming spinoff Yellowstone: 6666 is confirmed, with the show announced back in February 2021 (via Entertainment Weekly). There’s been little movement on the show since then, although this may be in part due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in 2023. Taylor Sheridan also has multiple projects currently in development, so it’s possible Yellowstone: 6666 hasn’t been as high of a priority.
Yellowstone: 6666 Release Date Prediction
Yellowstone: 6666 doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet, though it’s unlikely to arrived before 2024. Currently, there haven’t been any official announcements yet from either Paramount+ or NBCUniversal’s Peacock regarding the release of Yellowstone: 6666.
