And for those wondering if this spin-off is a prequel or some alternate timeline experiment? Nope. This is a direct continuation, unfolding in the same present-day timeline as the flagship series. According to Deadline, this series will share “the most DNA with the mothership of any show in the universe to date.” Translation: if you’ve been missing Yellowstone, this is the one to watch. This is the sequel series.

First introduced in the Season 4 premiere of Yellowstone, Carter quickly became a surrogate son for Beth and Rip. After meeting Beth at the hospital where both were visiting dying loved ones, Carter became part of their makeshift family. Little has worked with Taylor Sheridan before on Those Who Wish Me Dead opposite Angelina Jolie, and recently appeared in The Surfer with Nicolas Cage. On TV, his credits include Reckoning, Tidelands, and Angel of Mine.
