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. The ranch, founded by cattleman Samuel Burk Burnett in the 1870s, became a fixture in the Yellowstone universe when Jefferson White's character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, left Montana to work there as a greenhorn cowboy.

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - Taylor Sheridan built a billion-dollar TV empire by ignoring Hollywood's rules
The creator of "Yellowstone" has landed a deal with NBCUniversal valued at one billion dollars, a staggering payday for a man who writes every script himself and has never won an Emmy.

The creator of "Yellowstone" has landed a deal with NBCUniversal valued at one billion dollars, a staggering payday for a man who writes every script himself and has never won an Emmy. Taylor Sheridan, the 56-year-old Texan behind the most-watched cable drama of the last decade, is leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in a deal that cements him as one of the most commercially powerful figures in television. He got there without a writers' room, without courting awards voters, and without playing the Hollywood access game that most showrunners treat as a second career. Page Six profiled Sheridan's rise, working methods, and blunt personality in detail, and the picture that emerges is a man who built his empire the way a rancher builds a…Open
