Every upcoming Taylor Sheridan show and spinoff is being eagerly anticipated, as the acclaimed writer-director and Paramount gear up to expand universes including Yellowstone and beyond. With prequels concluded, new seasons greenlit, and several new series in development, the landscape of Sheridan’s storytelling is preparing for a new chapter, offering drama, fresh characters, and ties to familiar faces.
Yellowstone Universe: New Chapters in the Making
The present moment marks a rare quiet for Taylor Sheridan, whose creative energy has dominated screen drama in recent years. While Yellowstone and its prequels, 1883 and 1923, have concluded their chapters, and Lawmen: Bass Reeves has ended as well, other key series are busy preparing for fresh seasons. Shows like Lioness await likely renewal for a third outing, while Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and Landman are all officially in progress for new installments, with production underway. Yet, beneath this calm lies a brewing creative storm, as Paramount is determined not to let the impact of Yellowstone simply fade. Instead, the studio and Sheridan are laying ambitious plans for numerous spinoffs, sequels, and new stories, both within and outside the Yellowstone universe.
Below is a comprehensive look at every Taylor Sheridan spinoff currently known to be in various stages of development, reflecting the expanding scope of his storytelling prowess.
6666: Life on the Texas Ranch Continues
During the crucial penultimate season of Yellowstone, the narrative focus temporarily shifted from the Dutton family’s modern struggles to new horizons both in time period and geography, notably through flashbacks that inspired 1883. A notable subplot involved Jimmy, played by Jefferson White, being sent from Yellowstone to the storied 6666 Ranch in Texas to prove himself as a cowboy, accompanied by his wife, veterinarian Emily, portrayed by Kathryn Kelly. This spin-off is expected to pick up Jimmy’s continuing journey in the Lone Star State, expanding the Yellowstone universe southward while carving out its own identity.
Importantly, Taylor Sheridan himself has become a part owner of the legendary real-life Four Sixes Ranch, further deepening his investment in telling its stories. While details are still closely guarded, it’s yet to be seen whether the spinoff will market itself as part of the Yellowstone lineage or establish a distinct brand, considering the genuine ranch‘s notable reputation.
The commercial aspect of the 6666 Ranch was featured in Yellowstone’s final episodes, with nods to its branded beef, coffee, leather goods, and spirits. With the spin-off arriving, fans and consumers may expect to see more of these real-world products, blending fictional drama and tangible goods in a new way.
The Madison: New Family, New Struggles in Montana
The Yellowstone legacy is far from over. Whatever directions spinoffs like 6666 might take, Taylor Sheridan’s creative universe extends well beyond the original ranch. The Madison, already deep into production, introduces viewers to a completely new family—the McIntoshes—who trade the urban density of New York for the sweeping landscapes of Montana’s Madison River Valley. Drawn to Montana by a recent family tragedy, the McIntosh clan is centered around Stacy Clyburn, played by renowned movie star Michelle Pfeiffer. The story follows Clyburn and her family as they navigate grief, personal growth, and a struggle to reconnect with community and each other.
This narrative, focusing on a resilient, out-of-place matriarch, aligns well with Sheridan’s tendency to anchor his stories with complex, powerful women. Pfeiffer’s lead role brings cinematic gravitas and highlights Sheridan’s ongoing fascination with strong female protagonists thrust into unfamiliar worlds. While the release date for The Madison is not official, signs suggest it will debut on Paramount+ either later this year or possibly early in 2026.
1944: A Yellowstone Origin Story Moves Forward
Fans of the Dutton family saga received confirmation that a new Yellowstone prequel, set in 1944, is officially in the works. Following the critical and audience success of prequel series 1883 and 1923, this next chapter pushes the Dutton timeline forward by roughly two decades, promising to bridge historical change and family drama in ways only Taylor Sheridan can craft.
Although details remain scarce, the upcoming 1944 series may offer something new: returning actors revisiting their original roles after major time jumps. This opens the door for potential reappearances from favorites like Brandon Sklenar, who played Spencer Dutton and whose character survived well into the 1960s, as hinted in the 1923 epilogue.
Yellowstone enthusiasts, however, will need to be patient. Production and release of 1944 may be delayed until other Sheridan projects currently underway are completed, and the series creator has a track record of spacing out new seasons, letting anticipation for the Dutton legacy build.
Beth and Rip Spinoff: Returning Fan Favorites
Amid the whirlwind of new series, a spinoff centering on beloved Yellowstone characters Beth and Rip remains a high point of excitement for long-time viewers. Although some rumors suggested the series might be named Yellowstone: Dutton Ranch, actor Cole Hauser, who plays Rip, has made it clear this title is not correct. In an interview with Fox News, Hauser indicated that the actual story, which will spotlight the relationship between Beth (portrayed by Kelly Reilly) and Rip, might defy expectations. The series is also likely to include their surrogate son Carter, played by Finn Little.
Hauser personally promised,
expect the same that we’ve been doing for the last seven years. Kelly and I [are] working our a– off trying to create something special.
—Cole Hauser, Actor
Given these actors‘ deep commitment and the enduring affection fans hold for their characters, this spinoff could deliver the emotional highs and impact that defined the original Yellowstone series.
Y: Marshals – The Kayce Dutton Spinoff
Another contender for the most hotly anticipated Sheridan project is Y: Marshals, a spinoff focused on Kayce Dutton, the last surviving Dutton son, with Luke Grimes returning in the role. While the series featuring Beth and Rip delves into relationship drama, Marshals is poised to explore a different facet of Sheridan’s interests—his connection to stories of law enforcement and service members, reflecting his admiration for those who serve America in uniform.
A shift for Kayce’s character seems likely: from his previous military service and family responsibilities in Montana, he’ll now be at the center of a show with more procedural and action-driven elements. This direction could leverage Sheridan’s growing expertise in shooting complex, large-scale action sequences, honed further during the second season of Lioness. The new show promises to expand Kayce Dutton’s world in ways that align with Sheridan’s signature storytelling: blending intense emotion, violence, and the legacy of the American West.
NOLA King: Expanding the Tulsa King Franchise
The Tulsa King universe is set to expand even further with the announcement of NOLA King, a new series set in New Orleans. This move marks Tulsa King’s unexpected evolution from standalone project to a growing franchise. The original show, anchored by Sylvester Stallone‘s portrayal of Dwight “The General” Manfredi, found its creative footing after initial tonal struggles, and its recent improvements have paved the way for bold expansion.
NOLA King introduces veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson to the Sheridan universe, marking a significant addition to the ensemble. Rather than launching the new spinoff in isolation, Jackson’s character is expected to be introduced during the third season of Tulsa King, which has already entered production. According to reporting, Jackson will play a key role opposite Stallone before potentially moving his story to New Orleans, where he will compete for power in an entirely new setting.
Looking Ahead: What Awaits Sheridan’s Worlds
Taylor Sheridan’s legacy as a showrunner, screenwriter, and producer continues to evolve, with Paramount’s backing allowing his interconnected worlds to expand at an unprecedented pace. The upcoming series and spinoffs—from 6666’s cowboy legends and The Madison’s portrait of human resilience, to the emotional gravity of the Beth and Rip spinoff and the adrenaline-driven Y: Marshals—promise diverse experiences for loyal fans and new audiences alike.
The arrival of NOLA King signals a willingness to explore new cityscapes and genres within the Sheridan-verse, while the Dutton family saga, especially with 1944, shows little sign of losing steam. As each project progresses, anticipation rises for premieres that will define television drama’s next era. For those invested in every upcoming Taylor Sheridan show and spinoff, the calm before Sheridan’s next creative tempest suggests big changes and rich, emotionally complex stories are just over the horizon.
