Off 6666 Not Happening At Paramount+
Creator Taylor Sheridan has confirmed that the planned 'Yellowstone' spin-off '6666' will not move forward. Sheridan stated he refuses to fictionalize the real-life working ranch out of respect for the people who work there.
Why it matters
The cancellation of a major franchise project reflects the creative and ethical considerations of producers in the entertainment industry.
MovieStillsDB.com Taylor Sheridan will no longer be wrangling a spin-off based on the real-life Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. In a new interview, the "Yellowstone" creator confirmed that the previously announced "6666" offshoot was not happening.
"There's never going to be one," he told the Rodeo Time podcast. "I would never fictionalize that ranch. People thought that that was going to be a thing, but I would never do that."
In February 2021, Paramount+ greenlit the spin-off , which would've focused on a huge, centuries-old Texas ranch known for its exemplary horses and livestock. Sheridan was reported to be executive-producing alongside with John Linson, Art Linson, David Glasser, Ron Burkle, and Bob Yari. Everything seemed to line up, story-wise, after Jefferson White's character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, was sent to the 6666 Ranch at the end of "Yellowstone" Season 4.
