In 2018, Yellowstone premiered on the Paramount Network, introducing us to the Dutton family, led by Kevin Costner’s John, and the land they’d fight to protect. The drama is now in its fifth and final season and is part of a much larger universe from Taylor Sheridan.
In 2021, Paramount+ released a prequel, 1883, chronicling the origin story of John’s great-grandfather (Tim McGraw) and his family. That was just the beginning, with other prequels tracking David Oyelowo’s lawman Bass Reeves and another origin story starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford And even with Yellowstone ending (without Kevin Costner), there’s more to come in the present. And what about that spinoff about the legendary ranch 6666?
Read on to get the latest about Yellowstone and all the shows connected to it.

Synopsis: 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 has inspired a new scripted series 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.
