Yellowstone Spin-Offs: Your Complete Guide to Upcoming Series and Prequels
The Madison: A New Family Takes the Stage
The first confirmed Yellowstone spin-off is The Madison, officially announced by Paramount Network. Set in the same universe as Yellowstone, this series introduces a fresh family, the Clyburns. Starring Matthew Fox (Lost) and Michelle Pfeiffer, the show promises to explore new dynamics while remaining tied to the rugged world fans love.
While Fox and Pfeiffer are not portraying Dutton family members, the series aims to capture the same blend of high-stakes drama, family loyalty, and frontier tension. Paramount has yet to announce a premiere date, leaving fans guessing when the saga will continue.
Dutton Ranch: A Fall Release for Familiar Faces
Fans of Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) may get a spin-off featuring the iconic on-screen couple. Although Paramount hasn’t officially confirmed the project, Bloomberg reports that the series, tentatively titled Dutton Ranch, is in production and expected to air this fall.
Reilly herself hinted at the spin-off on Instagram, suggesting that the beloved characters will explore new challenges while remaining tied to the Dutton legacy. This series will likely continue the intense family drama that made Yellowstone such a hit.
1944: A Historical Prequel
Following the success of 1923, creators are reportedly planning another prequel titled 1944. Set during World War II, the series would explore the Dutton family during a pivotal historical period. Details remain scarce, but fans can expect the same gritty storytelling and complex family dynamics that have defined the Yellowstone universe.
The prequel format allows the show to expand the Dutton mythology, giving viewers insight into how past generations shaped the present-day ranch empire.
Luke Grimes Spin-Off: Kayce’s Next Chapter
Luke Grimes, who portrays Kayce Dutton, is reportedly in talks for his own spin-off on CBS, according to multiple sources including Puck and Bloomberg. Scheduled for a 2026 release, the series could focus on Kayce’s journey beyond the Yellowstone ranch, exploring new personal and professional challenges.
Grimes had previously hinted at moving on from his character, but this spin-off offers fans a chance to see Kayce’s story continue while expanding the Yellowstone universe.
6666: Texas Ranch Drama
Another rumored spin-off centers on the famous 6666 Ranch in Texas. Creator Taylor Sheridan purchased the ranch in 2021 and has increasingly featured it on Yellowstone, particularly through Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) and his cowboy training arc.
While details about a full series are scarce, the concept of exploring life on one of America’s most iconic ranches offers plenty of potential for drama, character development, and Western action.
2024 Sequel: The Future of Yellowstone
Back in November 2023, reports suggested Matthew McConaughey might continue the saga with a sequel series tentatively titled 2024. While McConaughey has since moved on from the project, fans remain curious about how Yellowstone might evolve post-season five.
Paramount has yet to confirm the future of this sequel, leaving the long-term direction of the franchise uncertain. However, the continued expansion through spin-offs and prequels signals that the Yellowstone universe is far from finished.
What Fans Can Expect
From historical prequels to modern ranch dramas, the Yellowstone universe is expanding rapidly. Each spin-off offers a unique perspective: some focus on the Duttons, others on new families, and some explore entirely different locations.
Fans can anticipate interconnected storylines, familiar faces, and new characters navigating power struggles, family drama, and life in America’s rugged landscapes. Whether it’s Kayce’s personal journey, the historical backdrop of 1944, or the frontier challenges of The Madison, Yellowstone spin-offs promise to keep audiences captivated for years to come.
