Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan has limits on what spinoffs he will do and has shut the door on a fictionalized version based on the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas.

In a new interview, Sheridan said that the previously announced 6666 spinoff was not happening.

“There’s never going to be one,” he said on the Rodeo Time podcast. “I would never fictionalize that ranch.”

He continued, “People thought that that was going to be a thing, but I would never do that.”

Yellowstone fans believed that a spinoff set in the real-life ranch was happening after Jefferson White’s character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, was sent to the 6666 Ranch in Season 4.

“I’ve 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,” Sheridan said. “You watch him go there as this misfit, and leave as a man and a respected cowboy.”

Sheridan, along with a group of investors, purchased the ranch in 2020 and would not want to “trivialize” the working ranch by “making up lives” and “invent drama.”

“So now I’m trivializing and fictionalizing something where real people work, and they raise their families there, and I could never do that to them,” he added. “I could never do that to the cowboys that dedicated themselves, and everybody that works on that ranch. I’m very protective of the Sixes, and it’s a big responsibility to be the person who has to protect that ranch, so I have to be very, very careful with it.”

In 2022, Paramount announced at its Upfront presentation that it was developing the Yellowstone spinoff, 6666.

The series was set when Comanches still ruled West Texas, and 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.

Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, David Glasser, Ron Burkle, and Bob Yari were signed up as executive producers, with 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios producing.

Although the 6666 spinoff did not materialize, Yellowstone has plenty of other stories in its universe. In 2021, 1883 premiered, followed by 1923 in 2022. Marshals premiered earlier this year, and Texas-set Dutton Ranch followed soon after.

David Krumholtz will be taking a step back from Hollywood after the actor from Supergirl and Oppenheimer got real in a series of social media posts.

The actor made the decision to take “an indefinite break” after expressing being “frustrated, fed up, fried” with the business, as “the profession has lost its gleam.”

“I kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day. It’s been something I’ve been petrified to do for years,” Krumholtz posted on Threads. “Specifically, the fear was that I’d go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game. But I sent the definitive email.”

He continued, “And gotta say, a huge wave of relief washed over me. Not sure what I’m going to do for money instead, or how I’m going to do it, but I just removed a humongous burden, one that I truly didn’t fathom the weight of until it was gone. Frustrated, fed up, fried.”

Krumholtz’s announcement got messages of support, and the actor continued the conversation, replying to fans.

“The love and encouragement re: my last post is overwhelmingly surprising. Acting professionally is a very different concept than the exercise of acting itself,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed every single minute of exercising the muscle. I’ve enjoyed the fanfare. There was a time when being competitive and self-involved really served my pursuit. That time has passed. Much to MY overwhelming surprise. There will always be great joy in the exercise. But for me, the profession has lost its gleam.”

Lanterns actor Garret Dillahunt replied to Krumholtz, saying, “This is sad news for me. But I am happy for you. I understand completely.”

Krumholtz replied, “Garret, man. Means the world. Ain’t over, rather, redefining my terms. Hoping to find a new, more rewarding passion. Me, my product, and I mentality is not working anymore. I want to try to be of service. No crystal ball.”

The 10 Things I Hate About You actor further clarified that he’s “not quitting entirely,” adding, “Just taking a bit of a step back and an indefinite break. The stress of the moment has me wondering if there’s a higher calling to pursue. Thanks for the very kind thought. Means the world.”

Krumholtz has an extensive resumé in television and film. In 1993, he starred in Addams Family Values as Joel Glicker. The following year, he starred as the Head Elf Bernard in The Santa Clause, a role which he would reprise in 2002’s The Santa Clause 2 and in the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses.

Other films in which Krumholtz has starred include Slums of Beverly Hills (1998), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), The Mexican (2001), Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004), Ray (2004), Serenity (2005), Superbad (2007), among many others. He also voiced Karrem Abdul Lavash in the animated film Sausage Party (2016), a role which he would reprise in the 2024 animated series Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

In 2023, he played Isidor Isaac Rabi in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and earlier this year he played Zor-El in Supergirl.
