Yellowstone Spinoffs: Release Updates for 1923, 1883, and Beyond

Even though Yellowstone has wrapped up its five-season saga, the Dutton family drama is far from over. Paramount knows a good thing when they see it, and let’s face it: who can resist the dusty boots, sprawling ranches, and a family tree so complicated it needs its own flowchart? With several spin-offs in the works, the Dutton dynasty continues to thrive, taking us back in time to uncover the gritty, often shocking history of the family. Here’s where all the upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs currently stand.

1923: Season 2 Is Happening

This prequel starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren (aka Hollywood royalty in cowboy hats) has been a hit. Season 1 set the bar high, and fans can’t wait to see how the Duttons survive the Great Depression and Prohibition. The bad news? Filming was delayed. The good news? Season 2 is officially in the works, though we might need to channel our patience and maybe stock up on popcorn for its eventual release.

1883: The Journey Ends Here

This one told the brutal tale of how the Duttons first staked their claim in Montana. Sadly, 1883 wrapped up its story in one season. Think of it as the gritty origin story we didn’t know we needed, but don’t expect a Season 2. It’s done and dusted.

Status Of Every Upcoming Yellowstone Universe Spinoff 

Here are the upcoming and potential shows set in the Yellowstone universe: 

• 1923 Season 2
• Yellowstone Season 6
• The Madison
• 6666
• 1944
• Untitled Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Spin-off

The Yellowstone universe continues to grow, with fans eagerly awaiting updates on every new spinoff. Whether it’s navigating life in the Great Depression or surviving the Wild West, these shows have captured the hearts of many. Let’s break down what’s coming next and when!

1923: Season 2 on the Way

Let’s start with 1923, the gripping prequel that takes place between 1883 and Yellowstone. This series follows Jacob and Cara Dutton, played by the iconic duo Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, as they tackle the chaos of Prohibition and the Great Depression. It’s got everything: high stakes, family drama, and plenty of ranch life.

Season 1 premiered on December 18, 2022, leaving us hanging with some major cliffhangers. But here’s the kicker Season 2 isn’t coming until February 23, 2025. That’s right, a whopping two-year wait. Talk about a patience test! Paramount+ even broke its own record for the longest gap between seasons. Maybe they’re trying to teach us the value of delayed gratification?

Yellowstone Season 6

Creator Taylor Sheridan has been tantalizingly vague about the future. In a chat with Cigar Aficionado (because, naturally, all deep revelations happen over cigars), Sheridan mused, “Why would we stop a good thing?” Solid point, Taylor. Why stop when the Dutton family drama is spicier than a plate of Nashville hot chicken?

The Dutton Dilemma: What’s Next?

The Dutton clan’s story isn’t exactly tied up in a neat little bow. In fact, it’s more like a tangle of barbed wire. John Dutton (played with legendary gruffness by Kevin Costner) still has a ranch to protect, enemies to fend off, and about a million family issues to sort through. And let’s be honest watching him stare ominously into the distance never gets old.

Meanwhile, Beth and Rip’s love story might be stable, but stability on Yellowstone is like a sunny day during calving season: rare and short-lived. The other spin-offs (1883 and 1923) have been fleshing out the Dutton saga, but fans aren’t quite ready to saddle up and ride away from the present-day drama.

The Madison

Hold onto your cowboy boots, folks! The Madison is the newest Yellowstone spin-off galloping into town, promising a fresh cast, fresh drama, and, well… fresh Montana air. Rumor has it that this series will pick up where Yellowstone left off, with a whole new crew of characters to keep us glued to our screens.

The buzz is already high. Filming kicked off in Fort Worth and Cowtown back in November, and while there’s no release date yet, insiders suggest we’ll be saddling up for this show sometime in 2025. The all-star cast includes the legendary Michelle Pfeiffer, rugged Kurt Russell, and Suits star Patrick J. Adams.

At its core, The Madison follows Stacy Clyburn, a wealthy widow moving to Montana for a fresh start after a tragic plane crash took her husband and brother-in-law. Sounds intense, right? Well, saddle up—it’s bound to be a wild ride

A Yellowstone Spin-Off with Texas-Sized Potential

The Yellowstone universe isn’t done expanding, and one of its most intriguing spin-offs, 6666, promises a deep dive into the legendary 6666 Ranch in Texas. This ranch, steeped in history and as massive as the Lone Star State itself, even made a guest appearance in Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 9, when Rip Wheeler stopped by for a little cowboy business.

Announced way back in February 2021, the show has been in development limbo. Why? Well, creator Taylor Sheridan isn’t just writing stories about the ranch—he’s also trying to buy it. Yep, the man loves authenticity, and he wants the real 6666 Ranch to star in the show. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023, Sheridan explained the delay, saying the ranch “needs a unique level of special care.”

1944: Yellowstone’s Next Prequel on the Horizon?

The Yellowstone universe keeps growing like a wildfire on the Montana plains, and 1944 is set to be its third prequel after the smash hits 1883 and 1923. This new spin-off aims to capture yet another era in the Dutton family saga. But here’s the catch—it’s been a little too quiet since its 2023 announcement alongside The Madison. Is it still happening?

The most recent news came from Yellowstone executive producer and director Christina Voros. Chatting with TV Insider after the thrilling finale of Yellowstone Season 5, Voros said there’s potential for more spin-offs, but the decision lies in Taylor Sheridan’s hands. And let’s be real—Sheridan’s storytelling plate is fuller than a cowboy’s breakfast.

Untitled Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Spin-off: Beth and Rip Take Center Stage

Hold onto your cowboy hats, Yellowstone fans, because Rip and Beth are saddling up for their own adventure! Following Kevin Costner’s exit from the flagship series, Paramount has greenlit a spin-off starring Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly as the unforgettable duo Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton. According to Variety, the show is officially moving forward—and yes, it will still include “Yellowstone” in the title to keep things in the family.

Here’s the kicker: calling it a brand-new series allows Paramount to keep the spin-off neatly tied into its streaming lineup. Smart move, right? Some fans even speculate this untitled spin-off could replace the long-anticipated Yellowstone Season 6
