Taylor Sheridan Shares Update on ‘Yellowstone’ Spinoff About Four Sixes Ranch
Taylor Sheridan said he would not fictionalize the active Texas ranch, ending a planned series that was announced in 2021 and never entered production.
- Taylor Sheridan officially cancelled the Yellowstone spinoff 6666 this week, reversing Paramount's 2021 announcement that the series was in development for the streaming platform.
- In 2021, Paramount Studios announced plans for the Texas-based series after Sheridan had featured the Four Sixes Ranch extensively in Yellowstone. Sheridan's investment group purchased the legendary property in 2022.
- On the Rodeo Time podcast, Sheridan said, "There's never going to be one. I would never fictionalize that ranch." He explained concerns about "making up lives" and "inventing a drama" at an active working operation.
- Despite shelving 6666, Sheridan continues expanding his television universe with other productions. He completed the first season of Dutton Ranch, while Lioness enters its third season and Tulsa King returns in October.
- Founded in 1870 by Samuel Burk Burnett, the Four Sixes Ranch spans about 266,000 acres across three Texas properties. Sheridan emphasized he feels "a big responsibility to anyone who carries that brand" when managing the operation's public portrayal.
