Taylor Sheridan's sweepingYellowstoneuniverse is still king of the hill, ruling cable and streaming like it's just another day on the ranch. Fans can't seem to quit the Dutton family, happily tagging along through every generation of backstabbing and horseback riding in the rugged Western saga.
If you thought the final six episodes of season 5 would be the end all ofYellowstone, think again. Even without Kevin Costner's John Dutton III in the mix, Sheridan is keeping the story alive with a stampede of prequels and spinoffs.
The Duttons story stretches across decades, from the late 19th century to present day. And with so many new shows popping up (some not even about the family) it's easy to lose track.
From star-studded prequels like1923to the action-packed spinoffMarshals, here's your guide to the ever-expandingYellowstonefranchise.
1883(2021–2022)
This prequel set in 1883 dives into the origins of how the Dutton family wound up in Montana. The miniseries focuses on former American Civil War Confederate captain James Dutton (Tim McGraw)and his family: wife Margaret (Faith Hill), their daughter Elsa (Isabel May), and their young son John (Audie Rick).
The family travels from Tennessee to Texas for a shot at prosperity during the westward expansion movement in America. James meets rough-and-ready cowboy Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) upon arrival in Fort Worth and joins his wagon train heading West. The 10-episode series chronicles the perilous journey the Duttons face through the Old West and the Great Plains to find a new place to call home.

1923(2022–2025)
Jumping ahead a few decades, a new generation of Duttons rise in James' older brother Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and his Irish-immigrant wife, Cara (Helen Mirren). A drought, the Great Depression, and Prohibition of the 1920s are just a few of the challenges the Duttons tackle to safeguard Yellowstone Ranch, as the grizzled Jacob fights to uphold the sanctity of their family as patriarch.
1923rode off into the sunset with its second and final season in 2025. Reflecting on the finale, Brandon Sklenar, who played Jacob and Cara's nephew Spencer Dutton, toldEntertainment Weeklyhe was "anticipating something epic and brutally tragic, and it did not disappoint."

Marshals(2026)
In May 2025, CBS officially ordered aYellowstonespinoff starringLuke Grimesas Kayce Dutton. Set a year after the finale of the flagship show, the series follows Kayce as he joins the U.S. Marshals. According to the synopsis, he use his cowboy skills and Navy SEAL training to help "bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence."
"I realized we're not just trying to juice a stone and get a paycheck, there really is a story to tell," Grimes said inEW's February 2026 cover story. "This guy used to be a SEAL, and we never explored that."
SeveralYellowstonevets join Kayce, with Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill all returning for the spinoff. There are also several newcormers, played by Ash Santos (Mayor of Kingstown), Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries), Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon), and Logan Marshall-Green (Upgrade).

Kayce isnt the only Dutton child getting their own spinoff, asKelly Reillyis set to reprise her role as Beth Dutton onThe Dutton Ranch.
LikeMarshals, this new spinoff picks up right after theYellowstoneseries finale, with Beth and her husband Rip (Cole Hauser) finally savoring "the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch."
"With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be," the synopsis reads.
Alongside Reilly, Hauser, and Finn Little as Carter, the cast ofThe Dutton Ranchalso includes Oscar nomineesAnnette BeningandEd Harris.
The Dutton Ranchis expected to premiere on Paramount+.
1944(TBD)
In Nov. 2023, Paramount Network announced the development ofa newYellowstonespinoff,1944. Although the plot of the series has not been revealed, you can expect it to follow the lives of the Dutton family during World War II, in a year that would see D-Day as the U.S. and the Western Allies invade northern France. Who's running the ranch? What challenges do they face in wartime America? The setting is ripe for drama.
1944is expected to premiere on Paramount+.
6666(TBD)
Another upcoming spinoff,6666will take us out of the Montana ranch and ontoFour Sixes ranchin West Texas in a non-Dutton-focused tale set during the time when the Comanches still ruled the territory. At the Four Sixes ranch, some of the world's finest horses, livestock, and — of course — cowboys are made.
While no further details have been revealed about the series, it will surely be refreshing to see a new western landscape and an ensemble of Texas homeowners take on the world. AfterYellowstonecowboy-wannabe Jimmy (Jefferson White) moved down there in season 4, there is speculation that he could be part of the series.
6666is expected to premiere on Paramount Network.
