Yellowstone has come to an end. Season 5 was the last season of the modern western and celebrated the series finale in episode 14 without Kevin Costner. Still, it’s alive Universe of the Yellowstone seriescreated by Taylor Sheridan. Because instead of season 6, we get spin-offs and prequels that are set in the same world and sometimes even bring back well-known characters.
Here we give you an overview, what will happen next with the Yellowstone story. Because even after the finale, the future (and past) of the Dutton family still looks exciting.
The 5 upcoming Yellowstone series in short form:
Soon Yellowstone return: 1923 starts the 2nd season
While the first Yellowstone prequel was just a miniseries in 1883, the second received a Dutton prequel
1923 a second season that already has a date and a trailer: It starts on February 23, 2025 at Paramount+ *.
In 1920s Montana, the family led by Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) has a completely different set of problems, ranging from cattle thieves to trigger-happy enemies. The couple asks their nephew Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) for help, whereupon the hunter and World War veteran begins his adventurous journey home from Africa, laughing at a strong-willed woman on the way: Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer).
The Madison will continue Yellowstone in 2025
Also for 2025 The new series has been announced, but still without a concrete start The Madison. Filming took place at the end of 2024, which is why the wait shouldn’t be too long, even if Matthew McConaughey no longer appears to have a leading role as originally planned.
Instead, stars like Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns), Patrick J. Adams (Suits), Kevin Zegers (Dawn of the Dead) and Ben Schnetzer (Pride) are in the cast when the story of the McIntosh family is told. After a tragedy They move from New York City to rural Montanawhich is quite a change for everyone. The exact Dutton connection is not yet known, but the series is set in the present after the Yellowstone finale, was originally called 2024 and is set in the Madison River Valley of Montana, which also explains the series title.
Rip and Beth are getting their own Yellowstone series
A still untitled one Yellowstone spin-off will follow on from the events of the main series and in a present-day narrative Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler retrieve. Fan favorites Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have already signed contracts. The script and start of filming have not yet been determined, which is why we do not expect a release until 2026 at the earliest.
As the Yellowstone finale shows (Warning, spoilers), after Jamie is murdered together, Rip and Beth leave the sold family ranch and get their own small farm in Dillon, Montana with their adopted son Carter (Finn Little) – far away from tourism and real estate disputes. It is likely that there will be conflicts there despite the new beginning. (Spoiler end)
6666 wants to expand the Yellowstone universe with horses and cowboys
The series 6666 is by no means devilish, but rather takes up a place in western Texas that we already know from several seasons of Yellowstone: the Four Sixes Ranch. Accordingly, the spin-off could bring back some of the characters from the mother series who were based there: For example, Travis (series creator Taylor Sheridan as a horse trainer), Jimmy (Jefferson White) and the cowgirl Teeter (Jen Landon), who was recruited in the finale.
Founded 200 years ago when the Comanches still ruled the region, the 6666 Ranch is a famous training facility for world-class cowboys and unsurpassed horse breeding in the world of Yellowstone.
Yellowstone offshoot 1944 goes to war
To the third Yellowstone prequel 1944 is the least known so far, although according to Deadline the prequel was given the green light in 2023. The title suggests that the series takes place during World War II, when the USA intervened in the war. We can assume that Dutton family members will be in focus again.
Executive producer and Yellowstone director Christina Voros recently told TV Insider that she herself isn’t sure which spin-offs are coming and when:
I really don’t know like Taylor [Sheridan] chooses which stories he wants to tell. I think he closed a lot of doors in Yellowstone this season. Obviously we won’t see some characters again that were killed off. But he left many doors open and some doors I cannot tell whether they are locked or not. But we will know when we walk through it.
