Taylor Sheridan made it clear a long-rumored “Yellowstone” spinoff isn’t happening.
The “Yellowstone” universe is arguably the strongest entertainment product on TV today. The only thing that comes close might be “Game of Thrones.”
Either way, there is no question Sheridan created a powerhouse that has dominated the entertainment world.
‘YELLOWSTONE’ FANS GO ABSOLUTELY WILD FOR TAYLOR SHERIDAN’S NEW SPINOFF, RATINGS SOAR
It’s also spawned several spinoffs and prequels. One of the most talked about potential spinoffs is “6666” focused on Jimmy. Sheridan owns the actual 6666 ranch in Texas, where part of “Yellowstone” took place in the original saga.
Taylor Sheridan kills idea of rumored “Yellowstone” spinoff.
Well, “Yellowstone” fans shouldn’t get too excited about the idea of Jimmy getting his own show because it’s not happening.
Sheridan officially poured cold water all over the idea.
“There’s never going to be one. I would never fictionalize that ranch…People thought that that was going to be…but I would never do that. Because at some point, what you have to do to sustain it. I’ve actually got on my computer all the scenes of Jimmy at the Four Sixes pulled out and strung together, and it makes its own perfect little movie. Where you watch him go there as this misfit, and leave a man and a respected cowboy,” Sheridan said during an interview with Dale Brisby.
The “Yellowstone” creator said creating a spinoff at the 6666 would be “trivializing and fictionalizing something where real people work and they raise their families there…I could never do that to them.”

Well, this is a bit of a shame. Jimmy was one of the most lovable characters on “Yellowstone.” He started as a drug addict with no future, and turned into a legitimate cowboy under the leadership of John Dutton and Rip.
Eventually, he was shipped to the 6666, where he really grew into a mature person. It certainly appeared a spinoff was being set up, but as Sheridan made clear, he’s not doing it, especially on his own massive ranch.

The good news is there’s plenty more of the Dutton story coming. “Dutton Ranch” was a smashing success with season one, and the prequel “1944” is still in the works. I’m especially excited for the latter.
