Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan confirmed that the long-anticipated 6666 spin-off series is dead, scrapped, he says, because he refuses to turn the lives of real Texas ranch workers into made-up television drama. Sheridan, 56, made the announcement on an episode of the podcast Rodeo Time, five years after the spin-off was first announced in 2021. He owns the historic 6666 Ranch in Texas through an investment group that purchased the sprawling property in 2022 for a rumored $320 million.

Cole Hauser says the cast and crew of Paramount+'s Dutton Ranch were physically broken down after nine months of filming Season 1 in Texas, where temperatures hit 118 degrees and snake wranglers pulled 275 serpents off the set. The 51-year-old actor, who plays ranch foreman Rip Wheeler in Taylor Sheridan's latest franchise spinoff, told People magazine that the weather alone nearly did in the entire production. Season 1 wrapped last month after a grueling shoot that ran through blistering summer heat, sudden freezing cold, and ice storms, all on open Texas land, not climate-controlled soundstages. Hauser did not sugarcoat it. The combination of extreme temperatures, venomous wildlife, and feral hogs roaming the filming area turned what…Open
