Taylor Sheridan Rules Out 6666 Yellowstone Spinoff

He told the Rodeo Time podcast he will not fictionalize the working Four Sixes ranch because that would misrepresent the real people who live and work there.

Overview

  • Sheridan confirmed in August 2026 on the Rodeo Time podcast that the long‑announced 6666 spinoff "will never happen," saying he would not dramatize the real Four Sixes ranch.
  • He said fictionalizing the ranch would mean inventing lives and drama for people who actually work and raise families there, and he framed his decision as a duty to protect the staff and community.
  • Paramount previously announced 6666 in 2021 and listed producers and studios attached to the project, but the series never moved into active production.
  • The planned story had been reported to follow Yellowstone character Jimmy Hurdstrom during his time at the Four Sixes, a role played by Jefferson White, who has said he was not aware of concrete production plans.
  • Sheridan and an investor group purchased the Four Sixes ranch in 2020, a deal later reported at roughly $350 million, and the Yellowstone franchise will continue through other spinoffs and series already in development or airing.
