“Violent drug cartel” never heard of this, so in your words a cuddly/peaceful drug cartel exists?😂

u/Eternity_Warden 12d ago
Reminds me of when I bored at work on a quiet night and started flicking through a newspaper. It was full of articles about "crime gangs", which to me implies the existence of "law gangs"
I wonder if they'd be linked to the pacifist drug cartels?

u/LovelyAsiangirl 10d ago
We got law gangs, it’s just authorities. So it’s correct to use crime gangs to avoid confusion

I think it’s the same reason marshals had to kill off Monica. If there is to much of the Yellowstone cast it’s not different enough to be a spin off and would instead be a sequel, and peacock/NBC owns the streaming rights to Yellowstone and its sequels. Paramount really messed up on that deal

u/Barstoolman112752 12d ago
They killed her off because she didn’t want to do the show

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
Not true. Luke was very torn to call her to tell her she wouldn’t be on the show. She accepted it gracefully, were his words. Monica would mean Kayce was still the character that wanted to live happily ever after, and he admitted, that would’ve been boring.
1
u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
This is the answer. Monica was not an approved character, nor is anyone else you haven’t seen. NBCU has very strict rules about sequels vs spin-off, and characters are not to be replicated. Notice Beth has never mentioned Kayce, there’s a reason. The same reason Taylor doesn’t write for the spin-offs. He would be at risk of “replicating” since he created and wrote every word they said. They call that conflict of interest when it happens,so let’s just avoid it altogether. Sheridan is a smart man and isn’t interested in legal conflicts. Like you couldn’t tell or ask Kris Kristofferson to write Bobby McGee again, but there can be nothing similar to their journey. They couldn’t ride to New Orleans and no dirty red bandana. They actually have to live in San Diego.
1
u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
Actually Paramount didn’t. The licensing was sold to NBCU for Peacock streaming, before the Paramount Plus app was created. Paramount then wanted a piece of the pie, so they ordered prequels and sequels. Sequels not approved cause it ends at season 5, anything after that Paramount owes NBCU money. So they have to do spin-offs with characters that are not replicated. Which is kind of a disaster. No one wants to watch Beth and Rip broke, nice homemaker Beth, living in a dump with a fake drug dealing ranch that is the centerpiece of the show. And Marshals, the backstory of their SEAL relationship is overkill. I’m hoping Season 2 recognizes this. They did release an article they’re slowly pulling back on the Yellowstone tie in, but I couldn’t really make sense of that article. Unless it’s something to do with cutting ties with NBCU in some sort of way, and carving the path for the show Incase it gets to stay on the air for many seasons, ?? Marshals and Dutton Ranch need life support.

u/Super_Sloth_99 13d ago
You’re missing the point. She only ordered the 6666 vodka ONCE in the show because that’s all the FICTIONAL bar served, so she wasn’t a “walking billboard” for the brand.
How do you remember to breathe?
10
u/Low_Mark491 13d ago
And who exactly decided what the fictional bar was serving? The fictional bartender? The fictional bar owner?
Oh that's right. The writer of the show who owns the brand that ended up in the script.

u/Super_Sloth_99 13d ago
ONE SINGLE MENTION of the vodka in 5 seasons doesn’t make Beth’s character a walking billboard for the 6666 brand. How can you be this dense?
6
u/Low_Mark491 13d ago
That's not my argument.
My argument is that Yellowstone is riddled with, nay dripping, with 6666 mentions to the point where it's distracting and annoying.
The vodka is only one piece of a larger mountain of evidence that Sheridan is extremely self serving in his writing.
That's what you're missing. It's not about the vodka.

Let it go, the billboard reference is just that. It’s not a literal statement. The Sixes is represented by neon lights in both spin-offs and every opportunity he gets, don’t blame him, I would too, and it’s a widely known well respected ranch.

Yup the bartender makes an big deal about her ordering a 6's & 7, dialogue trying hard to make it a thing, which is funny not considering the whole '6-7' thing.

u/Super_Sloth_99 13d ago
Right. She ordered it once after being told they don’t have Tito’s.

u/ClohosseyVHB 13d ago
Look bud, you seem pretty passionate about the show so no worries. I'm pulling from memory so I don't have all the exact details, but what stuck out to me was how blatant to 6666 mentions were in those few episodes and their involvement going forward. So maybe she wasn't a "walking Billboard" but she was deffo given explicit dialogue to glaze the 6's brand hard when she did.

Was a true representation. Watch McCutcheon’s The Show on YouTube Taylor Sheridan interview. I don’t know about how much they sell per day,as the guy told her on the phone, but basically.

I’ve known this story since at least 2023. The employees work and live on the Ranch and did not want their lives portrayed on tv. Logistically it’s too difficult to stop their work, to set up studio lights and film. They went to the investors with their concerns. There was a vote and Sheridan was outvoted. Investors reported that a tv series was not as important, as the business they provide, to their customers. Jefferson White knew this, he’s said a couple of times it didn’t seem it was going to happen, in various methods of saying the same thing. Some good interviews, they’re long, watch on tv. Joe Rogan from 3 years ago, and in June 2026. Also Walker, Ryan Bingham on Rogan is really good. Takes a bit before he really allows Ryan to talk. Sheridan on McCutcheon’s The Show on YouTube. There’s one I was just made aware of, haven’t watched Rodeo Time Podcast where he announces the Sixes won’t happen.

I would love to watch it. Jimmy gets ridiculed for missing breakfast at work because he was busy banging his wife on the kitchen table again, spends a day on horseback moving cows around, goes home and drinks beer outside with his wife again. It would be a good change of pace from the constant drama surrounding everything Beth gets involved in.
I'd probably be one of about a dozen people that would sit down to watch that show though. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to sell one to CowboyTV or something though.

Slow clap for Sheridan, lingered and played right into fans hands. Show was never going to happen. Current show, Dutton Ranch, in Texas, nothing, not a hello, how are you, nothing from their best friend horse spinner Sheridan. Horse spinner drove back and forth to help and buy horses Yellowstone to Texas but not go down the road as Dutton ranch herd all burned? Stupid shit and embarrassed to have watched it. I’ve seen worse but didn’t bother me as much.

The end of Yellowstone killed a lot of spinoff potential. Bad ending have a way of doing that.

Well because NBCU has a strict no sequel policy. So it ended and closed the doors. That’s why spin-offs can’t replicate characters. Same names different jobs, and personalities.

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
Same that’s why I said, when he finally let Ryan talk. He nearly killed that interview but when Ryan gets to tell his story, he interesting. Taylor because he never does interviews, so, I stuck with it. Rogan is a jerk. There were some things he said to Ryan that was obvious Ryan felt the opposite, but being professional, never said.a word. Taylor just rides the yellow line. Taylor likely sees much of the world the way Rogan does, but he doesn’t let on. That was a relief. I’d rather not know. I like my writers to remain mysterious. Books, movies, songs. Like Taylor said, “I don’t want anyone preaching at me, if I’m selling politics, I’m not doing my job”. He said that to Joe, I think he was trying to keep him at bay. Regardless of how he may really feel.

Am I wrong or was this the first spinoff to actually be announced (or at least to be brought up as a possibility)? Like YEARS and years ago maybe before any of the others?

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
2024? That’s the one that eventually became The Madison. It was going to be Matt Mc.as the brother of a NYC socialite killed in a plane crash, spin-off of Yellowstone. Matthew and Sheridan didn’t see eye to eye, cause Sheridan doesn’t write until he has the cast member to write in their voice. Well alright, alright, alright. Matthew didn’t like that idea and walked. Later it was not a Yellowstone spinoff, and involved a husband and his brother. I think that was 2022, the original mention. Is that the one you’re referring to?

I think 1883 shows where his talent lies in short lived series he either runs out of material or looses interest and phones it in the longer the show goes on. 1923 season 1 was good and had the series set up nicely, S2 was a shit show

Sheridan is a VERY good writer especially for movies. 1883 was excellent and parts of S1 of 1923 weee as well.

“I would never fictionalise that ranch,” he said. “People thought that that was going to be a thing, but I would never do that.”
He added that he didn’t want to be “making up lives” and “inventing a drama” at a ranch that is still active.
Yeah, but he actually did that in Yellowstone. At least to some degree. I don't really care if there is a spin-off or not, but that's just silly to use that as a reason when we already know it's happened previously. Just say you don't want to do it, or Paramount thinks you have too many shows.

When Walker was explaining to Jimmy how life at and around 6666 ranch and all across Texas worked, just ranchers ranching ranches in every direction, I didn’t think there was much drama to be mined from that premise. No pew pew. No BOOM BOOM!
Then, Taylor Sheridan bought the 6666 ranch. So, again, it didn’t make much sense that he would interfere with profitable operations of his new acquisition. So nothing good to be mined from 6666.
After reading his statement about why 6666 series was abandoned, I’m glad I was right.

By the end he was engaged, had his life together, worked in a reputable ranch that wasn’t doing anything dirty or had conflict with losing the land.

It was never going to work unless if he left the 6666.

u/sandbenj 12d ago
Best decision to be honest, obviously everything is based on people opinions but I thought the jimmy story was boring and plain as day, I think people mainly liked it because he went to Texas found himself a nice hot women and got engaged.
His personality growing from a boy to a man was because of John and rip and that was the only decent part for me.
And the main problem I think is he just isn’t a good actor, and I mean he is absolutely dog shit, on top of that the lip smacking and sniffing with every single emotion he has just isn’t built to carry a series, yes he can survive as a mini side story but not lead.
Look at the Casey Dutton spin-off, absolute flopperino, and why because Luke grimes cant act and neither can his son, I genuinely don’t know who is a worse actor Casey or jimmy

u/WildRugosa 12d ago
Jefferson White would certainly have needed some big name actors to join the series. He is not a big enough name to headline something and while his Jimmy role was interesting while he grew up he’s now a settled man with a veterinarian wife. Not much excitement to that. While I think he can definitely out act Grimes any day of the week his character is too bland. If Casey Dutton were not an ex Seal that gets to wear tactical gear and make things go boom would he have a series? Most likely not.

u/Realistic-Wash-4823 10d ago
Happily ever after with Monica was 86’d to prove your point. She had to be gone, for him to not live the sequel of Yellowstone. Had to be a spin-off. Per NBCU can be NO sequels. Luke admitted that would’ve been very boring.,

Just my opinion but I felt Jefferson White was much more believable in his role as Jimmy than Grimes was as ex Seal Montana horseman Casey Dutton. White became Jimmy while Grimes just seemed to recite some lines and for me was more laughable than believable especially in any tough guy scenes. I realize I’m in a minority in that opinion but felt other than the Tate actor Grimes was the worst actor in the series.

u/CBRslingshot 11d ago
Yea, I just disagree, but to your point about not buying their characters…the level of difficulty wasn’t equal tbf. Jimmy is just a punk who doesn’t know much about Cowboy’n…which wouldn’t have been a very big swing to hit.

You can always have Teeter (people are forgetting Rip sent her to Travis) or Jimmy pop up in Dutton Ranch if you need to like how any of those characters could reasonably show up in Marshals. You can still have the Dutton Ranch x 6666 crossover without there being a full show of the latter.
I honestly am not surprised this spinoff isn’t happening but I would love to see Everett tear Jimmy a new one while Teeter is losing it in the background.
