Spoiler Alert: This post contains mild spoilers from Season 2, Episode 2 of “Landman,” “Sins of the Father,” which premiered Sunday, Nov.

23, on Paramount+.Sam Elliott is the ultimate cowboy actor, so it’s no surprise he linked up with Taylor Sheridan and became a fixture in

his constellation of shows. He first starred in a “Yellowstone” prequel, “1883,” and is now starring as T.L. Norris, the father of Billy Bob Thornton’s main character, Tommy, on the second season of “Landman.”

 

 

The next Yellowstone spinoff to premiere is CBS‘s Y: Marshals. Starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, the spinoff is airing on a new network with a new creative team. Taylor Sheridan remains an executive producer, but he’s also signed a deal with NBCUniversal that will take him away from Paramount by 2029. This raises questions about the Yellowstone spinoffs still in limbo, such as 6666. Is it still happening?

 

 

Jefferson White returned to Yellowstone in the final season (Season 5 Part 2) in fall 2024, bringing with him renewed questions about what’s going on with the reported Yellowstone spinoff, 6666 (pronounced four sixes). Based on the ranch that White’s Yellowstone character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, moved to in Yellowstone Season 4, 6666 is reportedly on the horizon for Sheridan’s TV universe.

 

 

It’s been a long time since there have been any meaningful updates about the series since Paramount announced it in February 2021. Two prequels and three present-day spinoffs have been released and announced in the time since — 1883, 1923, Y: Marshals, the Beth and Rip series, and The Madison — and there’s reportedly another prequel, 1944, in the works. So, what’s up with 6666? Here’s everything we could find about the show’s movements.

Why is Taylor Sheridan leaving Paramount?
Instead of renewing his Paramount overall deal, Sheridan struck a new one with NBCUniversal. Sheridan’s producing partner, David Glasser, and his 101 Studios have also signed a first-look film and TV deal with NBCUniversal.

Glasser’s TV-film deal begins in 2026, after he’s fulfilled his obligations with Paramount. Sheridan’s overall deal with NBCUniversal is a five-year contract, including film, TV, and streaming. It begins on January 1, 2029, after Sheridan’s Paramount overall deal (which goes through 2028) ends.

Is the 6666 spinoff still happening?
As of the time of publication, there’s no official word from Paramount about whether 6666 is still in development. The lack of updates could mean that the show has not progressed since it was announced, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not moving forward. The last update was in 2022, when it was announced that 6666 would air on Paramount Network instead of Paramount+ as previously shared.
