"I Would Never Do That"
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Taylor Sheridan, co-creator of Yellowstone, has confirmed that a spinoff series based on the real-life Four Sixes Ranch (6666 Ranch) in Texas will not be made, citing respect for the ranch and its workers.
- Sheridan, who co-owns the 6666 Ranch, stated he would never fictionalize the ranch or create drama that could trivialize the lives of those who work and live there.
- Despite a 2022 Paramount announcement about developing the 6666 spinoff, Sheridan has shut down the project, emphasizing his responsibility to protect the ranch's legacy.
- Yellowstone's universe continues to expand with other spinoffs like 1883, 1923, Marshals, and the upcoming Texas-set Dutton Ranch, maintaining momentum without the 6666 series.
- Sheridan praised the character Jimmy Hurdstrom's arc involving the 6666 Ranch in Yellowstone Season 4 but prefers to keep that story contained within the original show rather than expanding it into a separate series.
