Nevertheless, supporters remain uncertain about one of the earliest announced spin-offs, 6666, which will be based at the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas that was introduced in the original drama, reports the Express.

In a recent conversation with the Daily Mail, White, who plays ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstrom, has confessed he is presently unaware of any plans to return to the programme.

When questioned whether fans will see Jimmy back on television, the actor responded: “Not that I know of now.

“I kept my fingers crossed, but also, I’d be grateful if I got to do more and I’m grateful for what I got to do.

“I don’t want to be selfish. We got a lot of great mileage out of that show.”

Jimmy was anticipated to play a significant part in the Sixes spin-off after bidding farewell to John Dutton (portrayed by Kevin Costner) and the Dutton Ranch at the conclusion of season four. Despite continuing to feature throughout the fifth season, he ultimately chose to remain in Texas permanently after striking up a romance with the ranch’s veterinarian Emily (Kathryn Kelly).

The couple became engaged in the concluding episode of the main series, earning John’s approval, and were tipped to either headline or feature prominently in the proposed spin-off.

Unfortunately, the programme remains absent from screens nearly four years since its initial announcement in February 2021.

White subsequently praised the show for “changing my life”, likening his casting in the hit drama to “winning the lottery” and describing it as a “rare and lucky thing”.
