Yellowstone ended in November 2024 after five seasons. Since then, the franchise has multiplied — and keeping track of which spinoffs are actually airing, which are in development, and which may never happen has become genuinely confusing.
Here is the complete current status as of June 2026: Dutton Ranch (the Beth and Rip spinoff) premiered May 15, 2026 and is currently airing weekly. Marshals (starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton) premiered on CBS in March 2026. The Madison (starring Michelle Pfeiffer) also debuted in March 2026. 6666 and 1944 remain in development limbo with no confirmed premiere dates.
Here is everything you need to know about each spinoff — what it is, where to watch it, and whether it is worth your time.

Dutton Ranch: The Beth and Rip Spinoff (Premieres May 15, 2026)
Dutton Ranch is the most anticipated spinoff in the entire Yellowstone universe — and it is finally here. The nine-episode first season premiered on Paramount+ and the Paramount Network simultaneously on May 15, 2026, with new episodes dropping every Friday.
The show picks up several years after Yellowstone’s conclusion, with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) leaving Montana behind and heading to South Texas to build a new life together. But when they arrive, they find themselves entangled with a ruthless rival ranch owner determined to protect her empire.
The official synopsis: “As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together — far from the ghosts of Yellowstone — they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”

Where to Watch Dutton Ranch
Dutton Ranch airs on Paramount Network on Friday evenings at 8 p.m. ET/PT, and streams simultaneously on Paramount+ at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET on Fridays. Unlike the original Yellowstone — which required Paramount Network for live viewing — Dutton Ranch is available on Paramount+ the same day it airs, making it more accessible for streaming subscribers.

Marshals: The Kayce Dutton Spinoff (March 2026)
Marshals (originally titled Y: Marshals before being renamed in January 2026) is a CBS original series starring Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. Unlike the Paramount Network home of Yellowstone, Marshals airs on CBS on Sunday nights and streams on Paramount+.
The show follows Kayce as he joins an elite unit of US Marshals — a new direction for the character that moves away from the ranch-focused world of Yellowstone into law enforcement action territory. Taylor Sheridan remains an executive producer, though the show operates under a different creative team.
Marshals premiered in March 2026 alongside The Madison — Paramount delivered two new Yellowstone-universe shows in the same month as a franchise re-launch strategy.
The Madison: Michelle Pfeiffer’s Yellowstone Universe Show (March 2026)
The Madison is an interesting case. Originally announced as a Yellowstone sequel set in the present day — and initially rumored to star Matthew McConaughey — the show evolved significantly during development. By the time it premiered in March 2026, the connection to the Dutton family and Yellowstone universe had been largely severed.
The Madison stars Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, a wealthy New Yorker whose husband and brother-in-law are killed in a plane crash. Looking for a fresh start, she and her family move to Montana. While the show is set in Taylor Sheridan’s world and carries Yellowstone’s visual style and thematic DNA, it is not a continuation of Dutton family storylines in the way Dutton Ranch or Marshals are.
Where to watch: Paramount+ (streaming).
1883: The Original Prequel (Complete — 2022)
1883 was the first Yellowstone prequel and is considered by many fans to be the best piece of content in the entire franchise. The single-season limited series follows the Dutton family’s harrowing journey westward from Texas through the Great Plains and into Montana in 1883, establishing how the family came to settle at what would become the Yellowstone ranch.
Starring Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as James and Margaret Dutton, with Sam Elliott as the trail guide Shea Brennan and Isabel May as young Elsa Dutton — whose narration carries the emotional weight of the series — 1883 is a devastating, visually stunning piece of television. It is available in full on Paramount+.
Note: 1883 is a complete, self-contained story. There is no Season 2 of 1883.
1923: Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren’s Era (Complete — 2023-2025)
1923 is the second Yellowstone prequel, set in — you guessed it — 1923. The two-season series stars Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton and Helen Mirren as his wife Cara Dutton, set against the backdrop of Prohibition, early Depression-era hardship, and conflict with the cattle barons trying to take the Dutton land.
1923 also introduced the character of Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves), a young Native American woman whose storyline — involving the brutal Indian boarding school system — runs parallel to the Dutton story and provides historical context for the broader conflict between the Duttons and the Rainwater family seen in Yellowstone.
After two seasons concluding in April 2025, Variety confirmed the franchise is moving forward to new projects rather than a third season of 1923. The show is complete and available in full on Paramount+.
6666: The Jimmy Hurdstrom Spinoff (Status: In Limbo)
6666 (pronounced ‘four sixes’) was announced in February 2021 and has been in limbo ever since. The show was set to follow Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White), who fans will remember was sent to the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas during Yellowstone Season 4 — Sheridan’s own real 350,000-acre ranch — as a condition of staying with the Duttons.
The most recent public update about 6666 came in 2022 when it was announced the show would air on Paramount Network rather than Paramount+. Since then — silence. Taylor Sheridan’s departure from Paramount for NBCUniversal (announced in October 2025) has raised serious questions about whether 6666 will ever happen.
TV Insider’s November 2025 report on Sheridan’s Paramount exit and what it means for 6666 and 1944 at tvinsider.com provides the most up-to-date analysis of the franchise’s future.
1944: The WWII-Era Prequel (Status: Announced, No Premiere Date)
1944 was announced by Paramount in 2023 as the third Yellowstone prequel series, following 1883 and 1923 in the pattern of tracing Dutton family history decade by decade. Set during World War II, 1944 would logically follow a generation of Duttons navigating the WWII era.
As of June 2026, 1944 has been picked up for a season but has no confirmed cast, no confirmed premiere date, and no significant public updates since Variety confirmed in April 2025 that the franchise was officially pivoting toward 1944 following 1923’s conclusion.
Sheridan’s new NBCUniversal deal runs through 2029 but includes obligations to complete existing Paramount projects — meaning 1944 could still happen, but its timeline is uncertain.
What About Yellowstone Season 6?
There is no Yellowstone Season 6. The original Yellowstone series — starring Kevin Costner — ended with Season 5 Part 2 in November 2024. Kevin Costner departed the show before the final season, and the storyline was wrapped up without his return.
Dutton Ranch is not Yellowstone Season 6. It is a separate spinoff show featuring Beth and Rip, set after the events of Yellowstone, in a new location (Texas) with a new supporting cast. The original series is complete.
