Mike White Envisioned the Ratliffs as 'the Brunette Version' of the Family From ‘White Lotus' Season 1
The White Lotus creator Mike White made a rare appearance at HBO Max's Nominee Celebration on Sunday to celebrate season three's 23 Emmy nominations and shed some light on his unique process. Joined by stars Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Rockwell, casting director Meredith Tucker and a virtual Carrie Coon, White explained that when he's putting together the group of actors for a new season, 'It feels like it works best when it's sort of like an orchestra, and you want different voices and you want a whole variety. I also feel like that when it comes to casting, it's fun to have actors who have different processes and different kinds of different vibes. It's like if you're a connoisseur of taste, you want a little a taste of this, a little taste of that.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Kaitlyn Dever "Couldn't Watch" Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey's Final Moment in 'The Last of Us': "I Don't Know How You Guys Did That" Conan O'Brien Says Late Night TV Is "Going to Disappear" But "People Like Stephen Colbert Are Too Talented and Too Essential to Go Away" Helen Mirren on Finding Time to Do It All and Why She Doesn't Plan to Retire Anytime Soon He pointed to Posey and Isaacs as a prime example of that, as 'they are so different in their approach. On the first day, I was like, OK, this is gonna be fun because they bring so many different kinds of methods to how they work. I don't need to tell them anything, they just do it and it's fun to just watch the chemistry.' Posey teased, 'I learn my lines front, back, left, right, up and down, and then Jason doesn't learn his lines at all. So it really was two different ways of working.' Tucker added that they don't do chemistry reads during the casting process but, when putting together the Ratliff family, did consider physical appearance 'to a degree.' White explained that it is important to him that actors playing family members look alike, and recalled how 'the first season, we did this family with Sydney Sweeney and Fred Hechinger and then Steve Zahn and we put them all together for the camera test and I was like, 'Oh, these people look exactly alike. This looks like a family.' And then I was like, 'We've got to do this with this Ratliff family.' I was like, 'We've got to make them look alike, maybe the brunette version of that family.' I don't know if they're as perfectly dwarfy cute blondes like that season, but they're amazing, I think they do [look related]. You want to buy it.' The cast also joked that it was such a unique experience working on The White Lotus that when it comes to meeting actors from past seasons, 'It's like being an astronaut,' Coon said. 'Like you've seen Earth from space and the only other people who've seen Earth from space are other astronauts. And so forever, the people who did these seasons will be like, 'I see you over there.'' White concluded the conversation on an emotional note, tearfully telling his cast, 'Can I just say, because I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to say this again with all y'all here — thank you so much for being so amazing. I was thinking about who's on this panel and how much you brought to this show and how much I learned from each one of you guys. I'm so grateful and I love you all, thank you so much.'

Is ‘Yellowstone' Spinoff ‘6666' Still Happening?
Jefferson White returned to Yellowstone in the final season (Season 5 Part 2) in fall 2024, bringing with him renewed questions about what's going on with the reported Yellowstone spinoff, 6666 (pronounced four sixes). Based on the ranch that White's Yellowstone character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, moved to in Yellowstone Season 4, 6666 is said to be on the horizon for Taylor Sheridan's TV universe. It's been a long time since there have been any meaningful updates about the series since it was announced by Paramount in February 2021. Two prequels and three present-day spinoffs have been released and announced in the time since — 1883, 1923, Y: Marshals, the Beth and Rip series, and The Madison — and there's reportedly another prequel, 1944, in the works. So, what's up with 6666? Here's everything we could find about the show's movements. Is the 6666 spinoff still happening? As of the time of publication, there's no official word from Paramount about whether 6666 is still in development. The lack of updates could mean that the show has not progressed since it was announced, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not moving forward. The last update was in 2022, when it was announced that 6666 would air on Paramount Network instead of Paramount+ as previously shared. Sheridan is known for writing all of the Yellowstone shows alone. Christina Voros previously told TV Insider that working with Sheridan means understanding that there will sometimes be long stretches of time between updates on a project. 'We don't know until we get the scripts what the story is. And when the time to tell the story is upon us, there will be a script in my inbox,' she said in an interview about the Yellowstone series finale. 'And I will be really happy to saddle up.' 'I honestly don't know how Taylor chooses to tell which stories he chooses to tell when,' she added about 6666 and 1944 specifically. 'I think he has closed a lot of doors on Yellowstone this season. There are obviously characters that we will not see again because they have been dispatched. But I think he has left some doors open, and there's some doors that I can't tell if they're locked or not yet. But we will know when we cross through them.' What is the Yellowstone spinoff 6666 about? 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666,' Paramount's series description said upon its announcement. 'Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing… The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.' Who is in the 6666 cast? A cast list has not been revealed, but it's been presumed that White would anchor the spinoff given that his fan-favorite Yellowstone character is how the ranch got introduced in the first place. There was a Jimmy-in-Texas-focused episode in Yellowstone Season 4 that felt like a backdoor pilot for 6666, and his improvements as a cowboy and updates on his life in general were a notable part of his return in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2. The Dutton ranch cowboys also spent a large chunk of months living on the Four Sixes ranch while keeping their cattle safe from the Montana winter in the final season, further laying the groundwork for more Yellowstone characters to appear in this reported spinoff. Jen Landon's Teeter took a job at the Four Sixes in Yellowstone's final episode, opening up the door for her to be a character in this new series, should it be set in the present day. Sheridan's own Yellowstone character, Travis Wheatly, also has ties to that ranch, further implying his interest in expanding his western universe's drama down south. Jimmy's wife, Emily (Kathryn Kelly), could be a main character as well, if Jimmy is a lead of this series. White confirmed his Yellowstone return in November 2024, one week before Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 premiered on Paramount Network and CBS. The actor shared photos on Instagram taken while filming down at the real-life Four Sixes Ranch in Texas in summer 2024. He ended up appearing in several episodes of the final season, which came to a close in December. Jimmy went from being completely unskilled on a ranch to holding his own as a cowboy thanks to his difficult but formative years at the Dutton Yellowstone Ranch, which included an awful rodeo accident that left him seriously injured. His relationship with Kevin Costner's John Dutton improved so much that he sent the young cowboy to the ranch in Texas to further improve his skills in Season 4. Jimmy didn't appreciate it at first, but he eventually realized how it could change his life. When the time came for him to go back to Montana, Jimmy realized his place was in Texas — and with the woman he had fallen in love with. John saw such a marked change in Jimmy, he happily let him break his vow to the Dutton ranch and move to Texas. Yellowstone, All Episodes Streaming on Peacock Solve the daily Crossword
