Taylor Sheridan’s oneYellowstonespinoff is yet to start production after being greenlit in 2021. The series titled6666was set up in one of the episodes of Season 4 ofYellowstonewhen Jimmy Hurdstrom, played by Jefferson White, left the Montana ranch to work in the 6666 ranch in Texas.Sheridan himself revealed the reason why6666is taking time to reach the small screen, and the reason suggests that the series may take even more time to get made.
UnlikeYellowstoneor its prequels,1883and1923,6666is set in a real-world location in the modern day. The Four Sixes ranch in Texas is the breeding ground for the world’s finest horses and livestock, taken care of by world-class cowboys who are born and trained there.
Taylor Sheridan Explains Why TheYellowstoneSpinoff6666Is Taking So Long
Yellowstonespinoff6666was announced back in 2021 (via Variety). While the other shows as part ofTaylor Sheridan‘s extended overall deal with theYellowstonefranchise saw their release within a year or two,6666is yet to make it to the screen.TheJefferson White-led series won’t be released anytime soon, as Sheridan has a clear explanation as to why filming the series is difficult.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023, theWind Riverdirector explained that filming in a real place came with its own challenges. The Four Sixes ranch has to run its daily operations that feed several real families, who have been residing there for years.
Sheridan shared that the series had to respect the lineage of these people. Therefore, he had asked the studio to be patient with the series. Sheridan shared withTHR:
“That, for a number of reasons, needs a unique level of special care because this is a real place with real families working here. You have to respect the lineage. I’ve told [the studio] to be patient.”
Interestingly, Sheridan has no problem making the ranch available to him if not for the families in it. The creator owns the 260,000+ acres of the property under the Four Sixes ranch (via Fort Worth Report). Sheridan’s massive piece of land has stories to tell that date back to 1870.
While the full-blown series about the ranch is yet to be filmed on the property, it has already hosted theYellowstonecrew for filming a few scenes of theKevin Costner-led drama.
According toNewsWest 9, resident veterinarian Dr. Glenn Blodgett shared that he never expected to witness a film/series shooting at the ranch in his lifetime. He has been residing in the ranch for the last 40 years and these are the people whom Sheridan has to respect before disrupting their daily activities for the production of the series.
Taylor Sheridan’s Other Projects May Also Slow Down6666For Now
Taylor Sheridan’sYellowstonemay be coming to a controversial end with its fifth season. But the creator will probably get to make a few other projects in the franchise. Rumors earlier suggested that the creator will make aYellowstonespinoffwith Matthew McConaughey in the lead. However, recent reports suggestSheridan focusing on a female-led projectstarring Michelle Pfeiffer.

Sheridan created the prequel series1923with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the lead in 2022. The series was renewed for a second season and the production of the series is currently in the works.
Outside ofYellowstone, Sheridan is busy with the third season ofMayor of Kingstownstarring Jeremy Renner, and the second season ofTulsa Kingstarring Sylvester Stallone. Amid these projects,6666seems like an unlikely prospect.
