The long-awaited Yellowstone spin-off, “6666,” is finally set to premiere, and its first episode promises to be a game-changer for the entire franchise. Unlike previous series that focused on the drama and politics of Montana’s Dutton family, 6666 shifts the action to Texas, diving deep into the authentic world of ranching at the legendary Four Sixes Ranch.

An Authentic Western Experience

Filmed on the real Four Sixes Ranch—a working ranch with a storied Wild West legacy—this series offers a level of realism Yellowstone fans have never seen before. While the original Yellowstone balanced family drama with ranch life, 6666 will be the show that grounds the entire saga in true cowboy culture, making it a must-watch for Western enthusiasts.

A New Era for the Yellowstone Universe

Taylor Sheridan, the creative mind behind Yellowstone, is clearly steering the franchise south. Not only is 6666 set in Texas, but so is the upcoming Beth & Rip spin-off, signaling a major shift in the universe’s geography. This means exciting crossover possibilities, with characters from different shows appearing in each other’s storylines. In fact, rumors suggest Beth and Rip will appear in the 6666 premiere, helping Teter and others settle in and seeking advice from Travis about their new Texas lives.

Jimmy’s Journey at the Heart

At the center of 6666 is Jimmy, whose character arc has been one of the most rewarding in Yellowstone. Once a clumsy, underestimated ranch hand, Jimmy has grown into a confident cowboy, earning respect and finding his place in the world. The delays in the show’s release are rumored to be partly due to Jefferson White’s busy schedule, but fans are eager to see Jimmy finally take on a leadership role at Four Sixes.

The premiere episode will showcase a pivotal moment between Jimmy and Rip. Their relationship, once strained, has evolved, and Rip’s acknowledgment of Jimmy’s growth will set the tone for Jimmy’s new responsibilities. Jimmy will now guide Teter and Walker, becoming the “Rip” of Four Sixes and leading the new team through life in Texas.

Teter and Walker: Fan Favorites Return

Teter, a beloved side character, gets her time in the spotlight as she seeks healing and purpose in Texas after loss. Her friendship with Jimmy will deepen, and she’ll receive encouragement from Beth to stay strong. Teter’s journey promises new friendships, hobbies, and a sense of fulfillment.

Walker, the musician, and Laramie also join the Four Sixes crew, believing Texas offers more opportunities than Montana. Initially, Travis is hesitant to accept them, but Jimmy steps up, vouching for their worth and promising to guide them. This forms a new quartet—Jimmy, Teter, Walker, and Laramie—ready to tackle the challenges of ranch life together.

### Release Date and Expectations

Paramount has confirmed 6666 will premiere in early 2026, likely around March. With its authentic ranch setting, beloved characters, and interconnected storylines, the show is set to redefine the Yellowstone universe. Fans can expect emotional growth, new adventures, and plenty of crossover drama as the saga continues in Texas.
