\nIn 2021, Paramount announced plans for a show titled 6666<\/p>\n
Taylor Sheridan has confirmed a previously announced Yellowstone spin-off series is not going ahead.<\/p>\n
In 2021, Paramount announced plans for a show titled 6666, which would be set in the present day and on the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which Sheridan owns.<\/p>\n
In the years since, four spin-off Yellowstone series have been created, however, 6666 had not yet gone into production.<\/p>\n
This week Sheridan announced it had officially been cancelled.<\/p>\n
Appearing on the Rodeo Time podcast, he said: “There’s never going to be one. I would never fictionalise that ranch.<\/p>\n
“People thought that that was going to be a thing, but I would never do that.”<\/p>\n
After the 6666 owner died in 2020, a group led by Sheridan purchased the property, however, he has now said he did not want to be “making up lives” and “inventing a drama” at an active ranch.<\/p>\n
“So now I\u2019m trivialising and fictionalising something where real people work, and they raise their families there, and I could never do that to them,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I could never do that to the cowboys that dedicated themselves, and everybody that works on that ranch. I\u2019m very protective of the Sixes, and it\u2019s a big responsibility to be the person who has to protect that ranch, so I have to be very, very careful with it.”<\/p>\n
\nIn 2021, Paramount announced plans for a show titled 6666<\/p>\n
When the show was first announced, the official synopsis teased: “Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666.<\/p>\n
“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.<\/p>\n
“The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavour to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world-class cowboys are born and made.”<\/p>\n
Initial plans for that spin-off began in the fourth season of Yellowstone which sent character Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) to work on the real-life ranch.<\/p>\n
The showrunner also cast real-life members of the community to appear in the episodes that were set there.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on having scenes filmed at his ranch, Sheridan said: “I\u2019ve actually got on my computer all the scenes of Jimmy at the 6666 pulled out and strung together, and it makes its own perfect little movie.<\/p>\n
“You watch him go there as this misfit and leave as a man and a respected cowboy.”<\/p>\n
Yellowstone aired for five seasons, running from 2018 until 2024.<\/p>\n
It centred on the Dutton family and starred Kevin Costner as John Dutton, owner of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.<\/p>\n
Although the 6666 series never materialised, in 2021 the spin-off series 1883 premiered.<\/p>\n
It was followed by 1923 in 2022, and then Marshals and Dutton Ranch earlier this year.<\/p>\n
