Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind the acclaimed TV series Yellowstone, is exhibiting his trademark dedication to authenticity as he develops the spin-off series 6666. Set on the historic Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which Sheridan owns in reality, the show focuses on rugged cowboys from a Texan perspective. Sheridan’s meticulous approach is likely contributing to the delay in production, as he takes the time to give respect and care to the real families working on the ranch, where he has experience filming his previous show.
Sheridan’s devotion to realism is evident in his reluctance to compromise on his vision for 6666. As a cowboy-turned-filmmaker, he understands the complexities of filming on a working ranch, having done so with Yellowstone. With 270,000 acres at his disposal, he is living out his own Dutton fantasy on the land he loves. Texas seems to be his true passion, and he hopes to share his love for the state and its cowboy culture with the world through 6666.

Despite the delay, fans of the Yellowstone universe can be assured that Sheridan’s dedication to crafting a compelling narrative will result in a series that is just as engaging, if not more so, than the flagship Yellowstone show. The Duttons are more than just Kevin Costner, and as long as Sheridan is willing to pen their story, they will remain a staple of television. Sheridan’s commitment to realism and respect for the real families working on the ranch will result in a unique and charming series that explores the Texan cowboy culture.
Sheridan’s busy schedule and numerous projects are undoubtedly contributing to the delay in production, but fans can rest assured that the wait will be worth it. The 6666 team is working hard to ensure that the show meets Sheridan’s high standards, and the end result will be a series that is authentic, engaging, and a true celebration of Texan cowboy culture.
