Taylor Sheridan just bought the West — and he’s turning it into TV gold. But what secrets lie buried deep in the dust of the Four Sixes Ranch?
Get ready to saddle up, because the Yellowstone universe is heading south — way south — to the blistering heart of Texas. Taylor Sheridan’s newest spinoff, 6666, is more than just another cowboy drama. It’s a bold, dust-choked, cattle-branded love letter to the unforgiving American West, and it’s about to blaze its way onto Paramount+.
Set on the legendary Four Sixes Ranch — a real, sprawling 266,000-acre property that Sheridan himself now owns — 6666 promises to take fans even deeper into the grit and grind of ranch life than ever before. This isn’t just fiction. This is the real West, and Sheridan is betting big that viewers are ready for it.
Forget the luxury log cabins of Montana. Life at the Four Sixes is raw and relentless. Days start before dawn, horses are sacred, and cowboys don’t wear their hats for style — they wear them because the sun doesn’t care who you are. Expect brutal cattle drives, dusty rodeos, and family legacies that are more tangled than a lasso in a windstorm.
And it won’t be long before familiar faces from Yellowstone show up on the Texas plains. The biggest rumor? Jimmy (played by Jefferson White), the underdog cowboy who won fans’ hearts with his stumbling charm and fierce determination, is set to be one of the central characters. After finding his footing on the ranch in Yellowstone, it looks like Jimmy might trade Montana snow for Texas heat — and a chance to prove himself for real.
But what 6666 might really offer is a shift in tone — a return to the roots of Western storytelling. While Yellowstone focuses on power and preservation in a modern world, 6666 leans into tradition, legacy, and the dirt-under-your-nails reality of ranching life. The stakes aren’t just personal — they’re generational.
Built in 1900, the real Four Sixes Ranch has its own mythology. Legends say it was named after a winning hand of four sixes in a poker game. Whether that’s fact or folklore doesn’t matter — what matters is that the place is sacred ground in Texas history. And now, it’s the setting for what might become Taylor Sheridan’s most authentic series yet.
Sheridan isn’t just writing this one. He’s living it. By owning the ranch, he’s blurring the lines between fiction and reality, bringing viewers stories that feel like they were pulled straight out of the dirt. And if past projects are anything to go by, 6666 will be just as emotionally brutal and narratively compelling as its predecessors.
So what kind of stories will unfold under the wide Texas sky? Sheridan’s staying tight-lipped — but if there’s one thing we know, it’s this: the Four Sixes never gives anything easy.
And somewhere deep within those 266,000 acres… one rider’s secret may just change everything.
Ready to ride? The legend begins soon.
