As Yellowstone Season 5 marks the official end of the iconic western series, fans are left wondering — what’s next for the Duttons? While we say goodbye to the Yellowstone Ranch in its current form, the story is far from over. Paramount has unveiled several exciting new projects to keep the Dutton universe alive, including The Madison — an all-new sequel series with a fresh cast and familiar faces.
Starring the legendary Michelle Pfeiffer, Suits alum Patrick J. Adams, and Lost star Matthew Fox, The Madison is poised to carry forward the intense legacy of Yellowstone with a new setting and potentially new power struggles. The plot remains under wraps, but given the talent involved, expectations are high. Interestingly, reports also suggest that longtime fan favourites Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) and Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) will reprise their roles in an upcoming sequel — though Paramount has not officially confirmed this development.
But that’s not all. Creator Taylor Sheridan isn’t slowing down anytime soon. He’s continuing to expand the Dutton saga with even more prequels and spin-offs. The much-anticipated second season of 1923 is on the horizon, promising to further explore the Dutton lineage through war, love, and land battles in the early 20th century.
Sheridan is also working on a new prequel titled 1944, though little is known about its storyline or cast. If his previous work is anything to go by, fans can expect a gripping blend of historical drama and emotional intensity.
Meanwhile, the long-rumored Yellowstone spinoff 6666 remains in development. This series is expected to focus on the legendary Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which was introduced briefly in Yellowstone. Although details are still scarce, fans believe this spinoff could shift the tone of the franchise to the rugged world of cowboy legacy, Texas oil, and high-stakes horse breeding.
Then there’s 2024, another project tied to the Yellowstone universe — though some insiders claim it has been renamed The Madison. It’s unclear if 2024 and The Madison are separate shows or merged ideas, but the evolving titles suggest major shifts behind the scenes.
While the central Yellowstone series may have ended, Sheridan has laid a deep foundation for the franchise’s future. Whether it’s through prequels exploring the past, or sequels reinventing the present, the Dutton family drama shows no signs of riding off into the sunset.
