Second Yellowstone Spinoff in the Works at Paramount+
Paramount+ is saying “howdy, partner” to another Yellowstone series.
The streaming site (now known as CBS All Access, until the official switch this March) greenlit the spinoff, tentatively titled 6666, Wednesday, our sister site Deadline reports.
The offshoot will focus on a huge, centuries-old Texas ranch known for its exemplary horses and livestock. Check out the official logline below:
Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing … The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.
Yellowstone‘s Taylor Sheridan will executive-produce, along with John Linson, Art Linson, David Glasser, Ron Burkle and Bob Yari.
The latest Yellowstone spinoff follows the previously announced Y: 1883, a prequel that will follow the original show’s Dutton family as it flees poverty and treks to seek its fortune in Montana. Y:1883 was ordered to series in early February.
The streamer also announced several other projects on the way from Sheridan. They include Mayor of Kingstown, which stars Jeremy Renner (the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Hawkeye) and focuses on a family of power brokers in the incarceration business in Kingstown, Mich.; and Land Man, an Upstairs/Downstairs-style drama about oil boomtowns in West Texas.
Yellowstone fans, thoughts on the new spinoff? Hit the comments and let us know!
A lot happening at CBS All Access/P+.
Right now I’m more interested in Season 4 of the mothership Yellowstone.
I’m pissed that the prequel is on a channel I have to pay for. If you move the original to Paramount + I guess I’ll give it up too.
The Four Sixes is where cowboys like me have dreamed of working since childhood. Can’t think of anything I would rather watch!
Jeremy Renner gave one of his best performances (IMHO) in Wind River; excited to see him and Sheridan team up again!
All good news, however; I remain, currently more interested in Season 4’s arrival.
Love Montana so much, my favourite state in America.
I love streaming video but this is where it gets to be confusing. So Yellowstone is on Peacock (aka NBC), but the prequels will be on Paramount+ (aka CBS). At some point, are we going to end up seeing the main show move from Peacock to Paramount+ as a result?
Why are All the new shows that are worth watching not on the regular cable stations that already cost on the average over$200 a month?? Now you must buy another set of channels. NOT RIGHT!
I’m kind of annoyed these won’t be on tv. I think that would be the best move since the parent show is and pulls in the ratings it does, so it would be easier for the heard to follow. I do think they’ll air them on tv later, but I would prefer they go straight to television.
I am sure going to watch it
won’t watch because I’m not paying extra to stream Paramount+…
I love the new sequels on Paramount +. It is worth every penny . There are other things on paramount to watch also. I get it that some do not like that you have to pay but give up something for 5.99 and watch. You won’t regret it!
