Taylor Sheridan’sYellowstonebecame something of a phenomenon over the course of its six seasons on the air. That original series has now concluded, but that doesn’t mean theYellowstoneuniverse is over. Paramount has already announced severalYellowstonespinoffs, including1883and1923, both of which have already aired and concluded.
There are five spinoffs in the pipeline, so we’re ranking them based on our excitement levels. While anyYellowstonespinoff is likely to be entertaining, we’re more excited about some than others.
6666comes in at the tail end of this list because it is not guaranteed to happen. The series is set to star Jefferson White (Jimmy), but it is on hold because ofTaylor Sheridan’spurchase of the propertywhere the show is supposed to be set.
The Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, known as the 6666 Ranch on the show, is a real location that takes up an entire county. If the show happens, it could be a fascinating alternative to what fans loved aboutYellowstoneat its very best.
4. Y: Marshals
AnotherYellowstonespinoff featuring characters fromYellowstone,Y: Marshals,follows Luke Grimes’sKayce Duttonas he leaves ranch life to join the U.S. Marshals. This show is set to air on CBS, and it seems like the kind of spinoff that you’re able to enjoy with or without knowledge ofYellowstone.
Y: Marshalsis likely to be among the most conventional spinoffs ofYellowstone, in that it’s a crime procedural. That doesn’t mean it won’t be fun to watch Kayce get his law enforcement on.
So far, prequel spinoffs to the originalYellowstonehave been incredibly fruitful. Whereas it’s exciting to see characters from the original series, these prequels give Sheridan a chance to tell stories from distinct points in history that are all tied to the same family.
1944is the next prequel, but details about the show have been scarce. Given that the show is set duringWorld War II, it will be fascinating to see life on the ranch during one of the biggest wars in history.
2. Beth and Rip spinoff
Candidly, theBeth and RipYellowstonespinoff basically seems like it’s just going to be moreYellowstonewithout Kevin Costner. As far as we’re concerned, that will be just fine. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are both set to return for the show, and it’s likely to have much of the same kind of soapy drama that defined the original series.
While Costner is a major loss, this show seems to be Sheridan’s most direct path to exploring many of the same ideas as he did inYellowstone, with many of the same characters from the flagship show.
1. The Madison
Perhaps the fact that we still don’t really know whatThe Madisonis about should keep us from putting it this high, but the cast alone is reason to be excited.Michelle Pfeifferis set to star in the series, which is apparently about grief and human connection inside a New York City family that has moved to Montana.
The Madisonalso starsLost‘sMatthew Fox,Suitsstar Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, andFirefly Lanestar Beau Garrett. It’s almost guaranteed to be compelling because of the excellent cast.
