Expanding the Yellowstone universe, this article provides comprehensive details about the potential spinoff 6666. It covers the anticipated release window, cast members, and plots that have been speculated.
Taylor Sheridan's highly popular western series, Yellowstone, premiered in 2018 with Kevin Costner in the lead role of John Dutton. Currently in its fifth season, the show has witnessed a steady increase in its viewership with each subsequent season.
Sheridan inked a partnership with Paramount in February 2021 to produce fresh content for the studio, which encompasses the prequel series 1883 and 1923 based on Yellowstone. With the highly acclaimed flagship series reaching its conclusion, speculation arises that 6666 might serve as a suitable replacement. Curious about the details? Find out all we know about 6666 and its connection to the Yellowstone universe…
Is there a Yellowstone 6666 release window?
6666 is due for release in 2023 on Paramount Network and Paramount+.
6666 is anticipated to be released in December as the sequel series to Yellowstone, although there is no official confirmation yet. Due to the delays in Season 5 Part 2 and ongoing strikes involving the writers and actors, it is likely that we will have to wait for its arrival.
In contrast to 1883 and 1923, which are only available on the streaming platform, 6666 will also have a cable release.
In a press release, David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, expressed gratitude towards Taylor, Paramount+, and MTV Entertainment Studios for their partnership. He emphasized their ability to create an immersive universe for global audiences with the show Yellowstone and expressed their intention to do the same with these upcoming series.
We have exciting plans to introduce fresh characters and compelling storylines, led by exceptional talent and visionary creators. Anticipation builds as we prepare to bring these captivating shows to fruition. Keep your eyes peeled for Season 1 of 1923, the highly anticipated sequel to 1883, which will debut on Paramount+ by the close of 2022 – discover more about Season 2 here.
Yellowstone 6666 cast speculation: Who might be in it?
The cast of the 6666 Yellowstone spinoff hasn’t been confirmed, but we can expect Jefferson White to star as Jimmy following the events of Yellowstone Season 4.
The character was previously sent to the Four Sixes ranch in West Texas following a rodeo injury. The 6666 ranch, known as the birthplace of cowboy culture, played a significant role in the character's journey.

Ryan Bingham, also known as Walker, might make an appearance alongside Emily (played by Kathryn Kelly), Jimmy's girlfriend from the Four Sixes. Both White and Kelly have been confirmed to return as series regulars on Yellowstone.
There is uncertainty surrounding Matthew McConaughey, who is reportedly in negotiations to become the new lead of the Yellowstone franchise. As Season 5 concludes the show, there is speculation that McConaughey, the True Detective star, could become the main protagonist of 6666. However, this is currently just speculation.
Yellowstone 6666 plot: What’s it about?
As per the synopsis, the series “takes place when Comanches still ruled West Texas and no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666.”
"The 6666, spanning an entire county, continues to function in the same manner as it did two centuries ago. Here, the intersection of legal principles and the laws of nature converges, creating an environment where the only perilous undertaking is the forthcoming one," Deadline reported.
"The 6666 is renowned for its relentless pursuit to breed the most exceptional horses and livestock globally, serving as the birthplace and training ground for world-class cowboys."
The connection between the story and the Duttons in Yellowstone is unclear.
Although the 6666 ranch has a rich history, Sheridan has a personal tie to it: he purchased it earlier this year. According to Entertainment Weekly, Sheridan expressed the responsibility that comes with being a Texan and the importance of representing the entire state.
“Texans naturally embody the state and its inherent class and confidence. Moreover, they consistently exhibit respect for others, irrespective of differing perspectives, acknowledging and valuing their capacity to both agree and disagree.”
Is there a Yellowstone 6666 trailer?
