Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone empire keeps expanding, but one project has lingered in near-silence since its announcement in 2021—the long-rumored spin-off 6666. Unlike 1883 or 1923, this series won’t follow the Duttons directly. Instead, it shifts the spotlight to Texas, where the legendary Four Sixes ranch holds secrets, struggles, and stories of its own.

When Will 6666 Be Released?

Despite being announced years ago, 6666 has no release date. Sheridan himself admitted the project is complicated, largely because the Four Sixes is a real working ranch. “You have to respect the lineage,” he explained, urging Paramount to be patient as the series takes shape.

For now, 6666 hasn’t been scrapped—it’s simply waiting for Sheridan’s crowded slate (Landman, 1944, Y: Marshals, The Madison) to clear. Given the ranch’s importance in recent Yellowstone seasons, the spin-off still feels inevitable.

What Will 6666 Be About?

Details remain scarce, but the ranch has already been teased in Yellowstone as the pinnacle of cowboy life—where the best horses are bred, boys become men, and hard work defines survival.

The official synopsis hints at a drama about life on the ranch, but fans know better: in Sheridan’s universe, ranch life rarely escapes violence, crime, or greed. With Beth and Rip once pondering a move to Texas for its “purer” cowboy ways, expect 6666 to explore that ideal—only to challenge it with corporate outsiders and land-grabbing villains.

Who’s in the Cast?

While the full cast is under wraps, Yellowstone already laid the groundwork:

• Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) – Sent to the Four Sixes to toughen up, he stayed after finding love with Emily. Both White and Kathryn Kelly are likely to return.

• Teeter (Jennifer Landon) – After Colby’s death, she accepted a job at the Texas ranch, setting her up as another familiar face.

• Travis Wheatley (Taylor Sheridan) – Sheridan’s own character, the rough-talking horse trader, could take a larger role running the ranch despite his controversial antics.

With Sheridan’s history of weaving in both new and familiar characters, expect a mix of fresh blood and old favorites.

Why Fans Are Excited

Unlike other spin-offs, 6666 promises a break from Dutton drama. By focusing on another iconic ranch, Sheridan can tell stories about legacy, loyalty, and the clash between old-school cowboy grit and modern-day greed. If the Four Sixes lives up to its reputation, fans may find 6666 as thrilling as anything happening in Montana.
