From '1944' To 'The Madison': A Guide To Upcoming 'Yellowstone' Spin-Offs
As the sun sets over the legendary Dutton ranch, both die-hard fans and pop culture insiders alike are eager for the next act in Taylor Sheridan's ever-expanding small-screen Western universe. With Yellowstone and its prequels, 1923 and 1883 , already part of TV's recent golden age, it's clear: Sheridan isn't finished yet. Here's your up-to-date guide to what's next for the Yellowstone franchise — including confirmed spin-offs, wild fan theories, persistent casting rumours, and the historical periods about to get the Dutton treatment. Although there was a 40-year jump between 1883 and 1923 , the next Yellowstone installment will skip ahead just 21 years in the timeline. None of the 1883 cast reprised their roles in 1923 , but it's entirely possible that stars from 1923 — notably Brandon Sklenar as Spencer Dutton and Julia Schlaepfer as Alexandra — could appear in future series. Their storylines at the close of 1923 's first season have fueled widespread speculation that they'll carry the family torch in the franchise's next chapter. Here's a look at the upcoming projects poised to expand Sheridan's empire. Sticking with his decade-leaping pattern, Sheridan's next historical venture will be 1944 , taking the story into World War II–era Montana. The Duttons, again at a pivotal moment — with the world at war and American society transforming — face themes of sacrifice, change, and what it means to be a rancher in a rapidly modernising country. At the time of writing, 1944 is still a working title. While nothing has officially been confirmed yet, the fact that Spencer fought in the first World War before the events of 1923 , makes it entirely possible that he's drafted to fight in World War II as well. D-Day also occurs in June 1944, marking a major turning point for the end of the war. 1944 will also focus on the family's ranching history during a time when most able-bodied men were called to serve overseas. While casting details have yet to be announced, Jon Hamm, Anya Taylor-Joy, Florence Pugh and Paul Mescal are among the names currently being bandied around by fans who are clamouring for the stars to join the franchise. This series moves away from Montana, centering on Texas's historic Four Sixes Ranch — a locale introduced to viewers in Yellowstone 's fourth season. 6666 is set to explore modern cowboy culture, ranching politics, and the intersection of tradition with progress. According to its accompanying official release, the ranch — still operating much as it did under Comanche rule — remains a crucible for the 'merciless endeavour' of raising elite cattle and horses. While further details have yet to follow the spin-off's initial announcement in February 2021, the official press release read, 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. 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 endeavour to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately, where world-class cowboys are born and made. The series will be executive produced by Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, David Glasser, Ron Burkle and Bob Yari.' There are currently rumours circulating among fans that Jefferson White (Jimmy) will reprise his role for 6666 , and that the series will centre on a broader, Texas-centric story than its compatriots. The Madison Another series from the Yellowstone universe that's confirmed pivots away from the Dutton family legacy to focus on a more contemporary narrative. The Madison will tell the story of a grieving New York City family relocating to Montana's Madison River valley in search of renewal and connection. At the story's heart is Michelle Pfeiffer, who will be both star and executive producer, playing newcomer Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch seeking a fresh start after her husband's death. The Madison, which, as of July 2025, is in post-production , is set directly after the conclusion of Yellowstone , succeeding the Dutton narrative. Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) now run a ranch in Dillon, Montana, as revealed in Yellowstone 's final episodes — raising the possibility of crossovers or cameo appearances in The Madison . Young John Dutton Prequel While sources close to Sheridan aren't letting the cat out of the bag just yet, rumours persist about a prequel tracing John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) youth and the formative betrayals, romances, and power plays that shaped him. If the rumours currently whirring around the mill are to be believed, Cody Fern, Lucas Till, and even Jacob Elordi are all names that are being touted as potential casting options for a young John Dutton.

Andrean's Kaden Maxwell decides to ‘stay in the lab.' Playing in Senior Future Games is part of his formula.
Two days after winning the Class 3A state title in June, Andrean's Kaden Maxwell was on his way to Georgia. A baseball tournament awaited him. 'If you want to get better, you can't take any days off,' he said. 'You have to stay in the lab, keep working out and keep throwing. 'Every time you take a day off, you take two steps back, and that's going to mess up your progression.' Maxwell's busy schedule continues in the coming week, when he'll return to Georgia to play in Prep Baseball's invitation-only Senior Future Games. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Maxwell, who will be a senior, isn't the only player from Northwest Indiana hoping to catch the eyes of college coaches at the event, which includes games Tuesday and Wednesday. Chesterton pitcher Troy Barrett and Illiana Christian pitcher Tanner Post will join him. 'I'm just going down there to show what I've got and hopefully get seen by some schools,' Maxwell said. Maxwell, a pitcher and first baseman, was a two-way standout for Andrean during his junior season. He hit .380 with 31 RBIs and went 4-1 with 1.50 ERA in 26 1/3 innings. Andrean coach Dave Pishkur said he believes Maxwell could be just as effective in dual roles in college too. 'I'm curious to see what all of these DI schools are looking for out of him because I think he's a potential two-way player,' Pishkur said. 'He's had some batting practices where he's put on a show, and I've always said that I thought he had the best stuff on our team this year, which is saying a lot on a team that had some really good arms.' Maxwell said he has already been in touch with multiple Big Ten coaches. 'It's a stressful process, and it's definitely coming fast,' he said. 'But you just have to realize what your value is and how good of a player you are. I think that's the case for a lot of people. They don't think they're good enough, but then they start getting recruited.' To keep sharp when he doesn't have a game, Maxwell practices with Andrean shortstop Jet Dutton, who will also be a senior. 'He's always working to become a better player,' Dutton said. 'Especially in these last few years, we're always going out to hit with each other, always doing something to keep improving.' Facing Maxwell, Dutton has learned how difficult it can be to hit against him. 'He has a high spin rate on his curveball and his slider, and they move a lot,' Dutton said. 'It's hard to hit a ball when it's moving like that.' Maxwell intends to keep moving. In the fall, he'll play for the Chicago Cubs Scout Team, another high-level program that competes in tournaments all over the country. Its alumni list includes 2025 Lake Central graduate Joshua Flores, who was picked in the fourth round of the MLB draft by the Milwaukee Brewers. 'I've been competing against some really good teams recently, and I've talked with a lot of coaches who've been communicating that they like what they see,' Maxwell said. 'Hopefully I've got a good future here.'

The 7 Biggest Easter Eggs You Missed In '1923' Season Two
If there's one thing that Taylor Sheridan, the brain behind Yellowstone and 1923, has finessed it's his ability to make each detail — each glass, grave, and gesture in his intricately woven stories — a portal through which the past is never truly past. A case in point is 1923's second season, in which Sheridan's penchant for layered storytelling reveals itself through even more intricate, history-laden Easter eggs. Don't be mistaken, though: these are not simply nods to the Yellowstone universe or winks to attentive fans, but thoughtful narrative correspondences and motifs that hint at the show's meditation on American identity. These are the Easter eggs you may have missed from 1923 season two. Throughout season two of 1923, the Duttons use a remote cliff to get rid of dangerous enemies — a tradition fans may recognise as 'the train station' from Yellowstone. In 1923, we see earlier Duttons use the exact same spot, hinting at how this dark family 'solution' has been passed down through generations. Cara's letters in season two don't just serve as narration; some lines are lifted almost word-for-word from the journal entries of Margaret Dutton in 1883 and from voiceovers in Yellowstone. This is a nod to how Dutton women have always shaped and remembered the family's story. The set of vintage whiskey glasses — used by Cara and later seen in John Dutton's hands on Yellowstone — get extra screen time. One scene even has Cara hiding them during a Prohibition raid, linking the items specifically to the family's American saga across the decades. In season two of 1923, Spencer hands down a knife once belonging to his sister Elsa (from 1883) to another family member. The knife's journey is a direct, physical link between Dutton generations — and a symbol of the family's history of survival. When new graves are dug in season two, cameras linger on the headstones of 'Margaret' and 'Elsa' — names that may ring a bell with fans of 1883. Cara even whispers lines Elsa once said. Each grave can be interpreted as a historical marker, quietly tying all three shows together. Some of the rancher rivals in season two have family names that pop up as enemies in later in the Dutton's stories in Yellowstone. Sheridan's delicate weaving of intergenerational trauma hints at the fact that the major feuds don't simply end, instead they're passed on to each generation. A tribal character warns that 'the land will have the seventh,' echoing the legend mentioned in Yellowstone about the Dutton family's seventh generation being fated to 'return' the land. This subtle secretive undercurrent hints at an unresolved mystery spanning the entire franchise. 1923 is available to stream now on Paramount+.

‘Take care of my baby': Heartfelt ceremony marks anniversary of Midland woman's murder
'Wouldn't it be great if we didn't need a transition house? Isn't that the ultimate objective?' The question was posed by Marion Dutton, the adoptive mother of Midland resident Julia Brady, who was killed on July 15, 2024, a victim of intimate partner violence. She was 23. The question, asked through a wavering voice, was posed Tuesday at a ceremony on the town's harbour docks during the installation of a purple bench and two purple Muskoka chairs, shortly after Dutton and Brady's aunt, Mary Ross, had placed a rose and a sunflower on each chair. 'When Julia was little, and she first came to me, I would rock her in my chair and sing You Are My Sunshine,' explained Dutton, fighting back tears. She had taken in Brady shortly after the death of her own mother as a way to carry her mother's wishes. 'To my mom and my dad, you are my heroes,' said Dutton. Unable to hold back her grief, she added, 'Take care of my baby.' It was a heartfelt ceremony filled with tears and heightened emotions — sadness, memory, and anger with frustration toward inactivity — shared by two dozen attendees. Started in 2015, the purple bench initiative began as a commemoration in Nova Scotia of Barb's Bench to bring attention to the death of Barbara Baillie, murdered in 1990 through intimate partner violence. Haily MacDonald, executive director of Huronia Transition Homes, spoke with passion against gender-based and intimate partner violence at the Midland event. 'We can't just call women who are murdered for the sake of being women another homicide,' she said. 'We have to acknowledge that it was a result of them being a woman. So, every time we use the word femicide, that itself is an act of resistance.' In attendance were representatives of La Maison Rosewood Shelter and the Georgian Bay Native Women's Association, as well as Mayor Bill Gordon and other members of council. 'Words are not actions,' said Gordon. 'We rely on our policing partners when it comes to being the action when it comes to intimate partner violence.' During his remarks, Gordon noted Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) members were not in attendance, despite their being a key element of tackling the epidemic. He cited an 18 per cent increase in intimate partner violence calls for service in Ontario over past year, according to OPP statistics, but noted it was uncertain whether that was from 'more violence being perpetrated, or if people are coming forward now and reporting that. 'The stigma is being broken by efforts like this,' Gordon said. As explained at the ceremony by Desiree Salis, crisis counsellor for La Maison Rosewood, a moment of silence would be followed by the gathering making as much noise as possible to draw attention to Brady and the plight faced by women everywhere. The silence was marked by held hands and soft tears, followed by an eruption of drums, pots, and stir spoons, shouting, clapping, banging and more. Its conclusion resulted in a second moment of unintended silence and hugs. Huronia Transition Homes has been in operation since 1984 in north Simcoe and has a 24/7 county-wide crisis line where community members can access critical support and resources. (In north Simcoe: 1-800-461-1750; in south Simcoe: 1-800-987-0799.) Justus Chester has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Brady, who was his partner. Error!

When Will Season 2 Of '1923' Air On Netflix?
Three years ago, the prequel to Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, 1923, was released into the world but due to the eight-part series only being available to watch on Paramount+, fans who didn't have a subscription weren't able to catch up on the latest of the Dutton-verse. Thankfully, as of July 9, the series has started streaming on Netflix UK, meaning that viewers who were previously unable to watch the show will now finally be able to see how the Dutton family have progressed since the series, 1883. At the helm of the family this time is patriarch Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) as they fight to preserve their legacy and Montanan ranch amid the introduction of the Prohibition era, drought and the fast-approaching Great Depression. If you're anything like us and have already binged the entire series, you'll know that the struggles that they've been facing with Spencer, Jack, Liz and Alex in tow are only set to worsen - as was the case in the second series which premiered on Paramount + on February 23, 2025. Currently, what what is probably an even bigger concern to fans is when season two will finally start streaming on Netflix UK. Official statements regarding the release are yet to be made, however, looking to past releases may serve as an indicator. 1883 first premiered on Paramount+ on December 19, 2021, and Netflix started showing it on March 12, 2025. Similarly, 1923 aired on December 19, 2022 and was available to watch on Netflix earlier this year. Unfortunately, if Netflix's release of 1923 season two is set to resemble this sequence, early 2028 is likely to be its earliest premiere date on the streaming giant.
