The sun may be setting on Montana, but in Texas, a storm’s about to roll in.

As fans prepare to bid farewell to Yellowstone, the beloved neo-Western saga that redefined modern television, there’s a silver lining on the horizon. 6666—the gritty, Texas-set spinoff—is saddling up for a highly anticipated debut. And here’s the kicker: the official release date has just been announced, and it’s sooner than anyone expected.

Created by Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan, 6666 (pronounced “Four Sixes”) shifts the focus from the icy mountains of Montana to the sunbaked dirt of the legendary Four Sixes Ranch in West Texas. But don’t let the change in scenery fool you—this is no soft reboot. The themes of loyalty, land, blood, and legacy remain as powerful as ever. What changes is the terrain and, perhaps, the kind of battle that lies ahead.

At the center of this new chapter is none other than Jimmy Hurdstrom, played with scrappy charm and surprising emotional depth by Jefferson White. Fans will remember Jimmy’s bumpy rise from wannabe rodeo star to a disciplined cowboy under the Duttons’ unforgiving rule. Sent to the 6666 Ranch in a pivotal Yellowstone arc, Jimmy discovered more than just discipline—he found a second chance. Now, 6666 picks up his journey and places him right in the eye of a Texas storm.

But Jimmy won’t be the only familiar face. Rumors have swirled for months about potential cameos or crossover appearances, especially with Taylor Sheridan’s growing Yellowstone universe that includes 1883 and 1923. What we do know is that 6666 will delve deeper into the true grit of cattle ranching—no bunkhouse drama, no billion-dollar dynasties, just raw survival. The Four Sixes is an actual working ranch, and the show promises to stay authentic to that legacy.

The spinoff also allows Sheridan to flex his writing muscle in a new but deeply familiar environment. Where Yellowstone blends Shakespearean family drama with modern frontier politics, 6666 will likely lean into something rougher, more grounded, and possibly even darker. Expect hard choices, lawless skirmishes, and a fresh take on what it means to carve out a future in the West when the old rules no longer apply.

The official premiere date for 6666 is now set—and with it comes a rush of speculation. Will Jimmy rise to lead? Will the sins of Montana catch up with him in Texas? And what new enemies will challenge the Four Sixes legacy?
