1944 was announced in 2023 along with The Madison (which at the time was called 2024 and has since gotten a title change). A series description for 1944 was not provided, but given its numbered title it’s presumed that it will be another Dutton family prequel like 1883 and 1923 and set during World War II. Character and cast information were not provided for 6666 or 1944 upon their respective series announcements. The Madison is set in the present day and will star Michelle Pfeiffer, Patrick. J Adams, and more, and that series is already in production.
In addition to creating every Yellowstone series, Sheridan is the sole writer of every script; he doesn’t work with anyone else on them. Voros tells TV Insider that when it comes to new Yellowstone stories, no one from the crew other than Sheridan knows what shows are in development and when they’re expected to come out, if they are to come out.
Commenting on the reported Beth and Rip spinoff, Voros says, “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. And I will be really happy to saddle up.”
Voros doesn’t know if 6666 and 1944 are still in development but notes that that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t. There are “some doors open,” she shares.
“I honestly don’t know how Taylor chooses to tell which stories he chooses to tell when,” Voros says of 6666 and 1944. “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.”
1923 Season 2 is the next release from this TV universe, and it’s expected to be this spinoff’s final season, although that has not been confirmed by Paramount.
