'Yellowstone' Season Five is Coming. Here's How to Catch Up.​

Yellowstone Season Five is Coming. Here's How to Catch Up.​

With four seasons down, a new season on the horizon, and three spinoffs at various stages of development, there's plenty Dutton family drama to keep you warm during the long winter months ahead.

With Yellowstone's long hiatus soon ending (on November 13, to be exact), you might be craving a refresher on what's all gone down with the Dutton family out west. In case you've totally forgotten what the finale of Season Four entailed, let's sum it up succinctly: nothing good. As the most recent season of Paramount Network's sweeping western drama came to a close, Kayce was talking to ghosts, Jamie was getting his hands dirty, and Beth was tying the knot. All in all, it was a peaceful moment for the Duttons that lassoed up a good number of loose ends.

Where Can I Get Caught Up on Yellowstone?​

Oddly enough, you can watch only the first four episodes of Yellowstone on the Paramount Network website by logging in with your cable or streaming provider. The other 35 episodes are not, curiously, available on Paramount+. So if you want to catch up, there's only one place to do it: Peacock.

Where Will the New Season of Yellowstone Be Airing?​

The new season will be airing exclusively on the Paramount Network. New episodes will also be available for streaming on the Paramount Network website. Presumably, new episodes will also be on Peacock. (The fact that they will not stream on Paramount+ is as confusing to us as it probably is to you.)

How Can I Watch the 1883 Spinoff?​

Now, here we go. If you're thinking, "So why the hell did I sign up for Paramount Plus?" this is why. All 11 episodes of the spinoff series 1883 (which is actually a prequel) are available to stream on Paramount Plus, including a 41-minute behind-the-scenes documentary titled 1883: The Road West. The series stars Sam Elliott and Tim McGraw as Dutton's ancestors. There's also talk of a spin-off of this spin-off series called 1883: The Bass Reeves Story planned for future release.

When Will the 1923 Spinoff Premiere?​

Production on 1923—a sequel to the prequel as well as another prequel to the main Yellowstone series—began in July 2022, with a release date of December 18. Starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, 1923 will depict the Dutton family trying to survive the Great Depression during a time of Western Expansion. Creator Taylor Sheridan announced that 1923 would span two seasons of eight episodes each and that it may be followed by even more Yellowstone content set in the 1940s and 1960s as well. According to Deadline, around 10 million people tuned in to the Season Four finale of Yellowstone, solidifying it as one of the highest-rated cable TV shows since The Walking Dead. The 1923 series will also air on Paramount Plus.

What About the 6666 Spinoff?​

Yes, believe it or not, there's a third spinoff for Yellowstone in development. Titled 6666, the series will focus on the rival Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, and feature fan-favorite cowboy Jimmy. As much as it sounds like the Duttons would be flying around in hovercrafts in the year 6666, the confusing numbering trend will sadly not send the Dutton ranch over 4,000 years into the future. Though there hasn't been any release date announced, 6666 will presumably also air on Paramount+, likely in mid-2023 at the earliest.

OK, I'll Bite: What the Hell is Tulsa King?​

Another creation from creator Taylor Sheridan, starring Sylvester Stallone. So far, it appears there is absolutely no tie to the Dutton family, but there's still plenty of reason to be excited. This series also premieres on November 13, airing right after the season premiere of Yellowstone Season Five.

Everything We Know About the New 'Yellowstone' Spinoff, '6666,' and Its Move to Paramount Network​

Taylor Sheridan's empire continues to grow.
There seems to be no stopping Taylor Sheridan. The creator of Yellowstone announced a multi-project deal with Paramount in 2021, which includes three (yes, THREE) Yellowstone spinoffs plus related Western-themed shows. Plus, Sheridan, as a part of the real estate group, has bought the famed Four Sixes Ranch in Texas—a ranch that just happens to be the focus of one of Sheridan's new shows.

Here's what we know about the real Four Sixes Ranch as well as Sheridan's upcoming Paramount+ series, 6666.

Who founded the 6666 Ranch?​

At the age of 10, Samuel "Burk" Burnett began learning ranching from his father and, in 1870, at the age of 19, the young Burnett bought a hundred head of cattle branded with "6666" on them. In 1900, he bought the 8 Ranch near which later became known as the Four Sixes or 6666 Ranch.

Who owns the 6666 Ranch?​

Known as the Four Sixes Ranch or the 6666 Ranch, this massive west Texas spread has remained in the Burnett family and as part of a trust until Samuel Burnett's great-grandaughter, Anne Windfohr Marion, died in early 2020. The property was put up for sale for $341 million, according to her will.

The Star-Telegram confirmed what had been an open secret: Taylor Sheridan is fronting a group that signed a contract for the property in December 2020. (The deal closed in March 2022.) Sheridan told Texas Spur, "The legacy of the 6666 Ranch and Miss Marion’s vision for the ranch are vital not only to the ranch itself but the rich heritage of ranching in Texas.”

This purchase marks the first time it has been sold in more than 150 years.

“Featured on the hit show Yellowstone, the ranch was purchased in its entirety and will continue to represent the icon that it is in the ranching community,” said Don Bell, owner-broker of United Country Real Estate, in a release. “History is always being made around this unique ranch and this purchase was no different.”

How big is the 6666 Ranch?​

Huge! The ranch encompasses three separate properties in west Texas that include over 266,000 acres—an area larger than the city of San Antonio and twice the size of Chicago! Yet, it still places at No. 9 on the list of the largest ranches in Texas.

Will Paramount film on the 6666 Ranch?​

They already have! Back in October 2020, some scenes for season 4 of Yellowstone were filmed at the ranch.

Will there be a series about the 6666 Ranch?​

You bet! Paramount also announced previously that another spinoff, with the working title 6666 will now premiere on the Paramount Network. The move from streamer Paramount+ to the linear network was unveiled as part of the Paramount's upfront presentation on May 18, 2022. Previously, in February 2022, our sources at Paramount had only told us that 6666 was in the development stage.

What will 6666 be about?​

According to the press release, the show will take place on the famed Four Sixes Texas 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 in a place where 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."

When does 6666 premiere?​

No premiere date has been announced, but the fifth season of Yellowstone is coming Nov. 13 and another Yellowstone spinoff, 1923 is coming too, in December 2022. Although it hasn't been confirmed, we're expecting 6666 to premiere on Paramount some time in early 2023.

They started with episode 1 today. I've watched all the episodes except season 4 at least three times, I don't need or want to watch them again. I did not care for season 4. Yellowstone is set to record so I'll get the new season.

1883 did not appeal to me at all, but 1923 might be interesting, I like Ford and Mirrin.

You might like Outer Range, based in WY, where something weird (not Aliens) is happening in an outer pasture & people are disappearing…. On Amazon Prime

I just couldn’t tolerate the language overload and behaviour was quite predictable in Yellowstone

Raggedyman, you sure did your homework!!! Gold star. My DH and I absolutely loved 1883. We also enjoy Yellowstone. Taylor Sheridan is a gifted writer and he sure knows how to put his actors together for great chemistry. The horses used in Yellowstone are also AMAZING!

I am not usually one to watch television. I think the last "series" I'd watched was Dallas with the Ewing family. I watched 1883 and all of Yellowstone and absolutely love both of them. I'm looking forward to the new season as well as the kick-off of 1923 and 6666. I also subscribe to Paramount + and Peacock so we don't miss any Episodes. The trailer for season 5 alone had the largest viewing in history of any series to date in television history which I thought was quite amazing.

Completely unrealistic series. Hard for real ranch people to sit through. The writer has a good imagination but has no clue what goes on in ranch country.

Well Taylor Sheridan grew up on a ranch, owns 2 ranches plus the 4-6's, is big in reining, working cow horse and cutting horses.... so I would think he has a pretty good working knowledge about true ranching. However, putting real ranching on tv wouldn't be nearly as interesting as his story lines. I doubt many ranches have a place to dump bodies over a cliff.

I love everything Taylor has done to put reining, working cow horse and cutting out in front of people that had no clue it existed. He has done a lot of the horse industry. And I would rather watch his westerns than any of the horror, gay, and other crap that is dished out on tv.

1883 was the first show on western expansion that told the story of the immigrants that came from other countries to move west. That I thought was a very interesting aspect. It showed us how people not in our culture handled it, and how hard the move west was.

1883 used as much authenticity as possible with clothing, and history that is available to help tell the story.

The Dutton story was just the fictional part that got thrown it to tell that story.

I have a more realistic view of the "noble Indian"

It's war, both sides hate the other and think nothing of doing each other dirty however possible.

My view is neither side were "noble", but rather mutual combatants.

Reality is the Comanche (the Comacheria were the bulk of this show took place) were brutal, killing and nearly exterminating other tribes who were more into agriculture rather than nomadic warriors, they were hell bent on making war with everyone in brutal fashion, driving tribes off their lands, their policy was no males live, no older females live, younger females were raped and brutalized then killed, childrenwere taken as slaves and raised Comanche. They nearly wiped out the Apache, who ran to Mexico for help as to not be genocided by the Comanche.

They were always going to be conquered, and I feel no remorse as a white, for they did the same thing as we.

I don't know why Sheridan writes unrealistic story lines. Owning a ranch doesn't necessarily make you knowledgeable if you aren't involved in the actual work, and I don't know what kind of ranch he grew up on. I just know what I saw on Yellowstone just wasn't believable enough to go on watching. I'd love to see a realistic ranch series.

Trust me. We've worked for absentee owners who didn't understand what's going on at all. Show horse people don't necessarily have a clue. I say this from actual experience from being around cutting horse people in real ranch situations on a ranch we were managing. And hanging out at the Four Sixes isn't going to do it either unless you're riding out with the crew.

The first episodes I watched involved ridiculous story lines. It's been a while since I watched them, but here's what I saw to the best of my memory: Cattle were claimed because they strayed on another's property. Doesn't happen. You can't keep a dog that strays onto your property, much less valuable cattle. There are laws governing this and local law enforcement would be all over it (sheriffs, brand inspectors, etc.)

Water was claimed that didn't belong to someone. Again, laws govern this very precisely. Water is the difference between success and failure in agriculture in the west. I did take a college level course on Law and Ranching, so I do know of what I speak, plus 20 years in the ranching world in several states.

Someone went out and just caught a mustang he wanted. Again, laws govern this. You can't just go and get a wild horse, EVEN IF IT'S RUNNING ON YOUR PROPERTY. Wild horses belong either to the federal government or state government. Gathering one yourself is stealing from government and they don't have a sense of humor about it. I live in Nevada, where there are tens of thousands of mustangs, and I am aware of the laws governing them. You're not allowed to bother them at all, much less catch and break them.

In one scene, two men supposedly pull a calf, and then the calf jumps up and runs away. Please. Calves are shaky and tottery for hours after birth even it isn't even a traumatic birth like having to be pulled. That can delay recovery. For a calf to jump up and run away like depicted, it would have to be at least a day, maybe several days old. The calf in the scene was at least a few weeks old.

Not only did I work on ranches when younger, I have also worked for ranching publications, including a state ranching newspaper and a nationally circulated ranching magazine. So if you want to debate any of the above points, I'd be glad to give you my experience and facts supporting my opinions.

I think it's fine if you enjoy the show, just be aware it is fiction, not reality.

Then there's the Outer Range series, which shows a rancher who swears like a sailor in front of his wife and smaller child--not typical, and the family apparently raises worn-out roping steers. No wonder they aren't making any money. And if someone is claiming your land, you go to court, not to war.

Hollywood always gets it wrong, but there could be many stories that would be interesting that have actually happened or could potentially happen. Like movies in general, I guess. There are many great books out there that would make outstanding movies, but we get zombies, vampires, superheroes, gore, and onscreen sex.
