Along with the previously announced Y:1883 prequel series, Paramount+ announced today that Taylor Sheridan, creator of Yellowstone—the No. 1 cable show of 2020, is working on another spinoff of the popular franchise starring Kevin Costner. The working title for the new spinoff is called 6666. Sheridan will create new series under his overall deal with ViacomCBS and MTV Entertainment that include both Mayor of Kingstown and Land Man, in addition to expanding the Yellowstone universe with 6666 (working title) and the previously announced Yellowstone prequel, Y: 1883 that was teased during Super Bowl LV. “Yellowstone is the #1 show with tens of millions of fans based on the characters Taylor has created and his gift for world building,” Chris McCarthy, President, MTV Entertainment Group said in a release. “With Paramount+, our strategy is to supercharge subscribers by franchising our biggest hit IP like we’re doing with Yellowstone prequel Y:1883 and build new IP with marquee creative talent like Taylor.” “Together, we have been able to build Yellowstone into an immersive universe for audiences globally. And that is what we intend to do with these series as well. We will be introducing new characters and story lines alongside world-class talent and creators. We are very much looking forward to bringing these shows to life.”
What is 6666 about?
The spinoff series takes place in modern day Texas on the legendary 6666 ranch. Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge. Here, the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing. The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world-class cowboys are born and made.
