Fans of “Yellowstone” may still be in for a surprise.

Deadline reported last week that the popular Western TV series “probably won’t be ending” after the highly anticipated release of the final episodes of season five. The outlet noted that the potential new season will star Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, making the romance between Beth and Rip the main event.

Sources told the outlet that no deal has been finalized, but that there is a strong push to continue “Yellowstone” after Kevin Costner’s departure. According to Deadline, Reilly and Hauser have been working on continuing Beth and Rip’s romance, but it was originally planned as a spinoff series.

On Friday, “Yellowstone” released a first look at the upcoming season five finale. The footage shows the feud between the Dutton siblings, with Jaimie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) getting into a heated exchange.

“If you destroy me, you destroy yourself,” Jaime said, to which Beth replied, “Unlike you, I keep my promises.”

Costner has appeared in previous episodes, but John Dutton will not return to close out the fifth and previously considered final season of the hit series.

The final episode of the first half of the fifth season aired in January 2023, ending on a cliffhanger in which the members of the Dutton Family, led by John Dutton, are on the verge of all-out war with each other.

The final episodes of season five will be released on November 10 on Paramount Network.

Below is a look at the spin-off series that have been created and are in the works since “Yellowstone” became a fan favorite series.

“Michelle Pfeiffer is a remarkable talent who brings emotional depth, authenticity and grace to every role. She is the perfect anchor for the newest chapter in the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘The Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan,” Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement to Variety.

Pfeiffer is joined by “Lost” star Matthew Fox and “Suits” star Patrick J. Adams. Deadline reported that Fox will star opposite Pfeiffer.

“The Madison” marks Pfeiffer’s return to television after starring as Betty Ford on the Showtime anthology series “The First Lady” in 2022. A premiere date for the new show has not yet been announced.

‘farmer’

Demi Moore, Jon Hamm and Billy Bob Thornton star in “Landman,” also from “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan. He based the film on Christian Wallace’s podcast “Boomtown.”

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Thorton explained that filming the series pushed him and his crew members to their limits.

“There were days I thought not only me, but everyone on the crew was going to pass out,” Thornton told the outlet. “It was so hot sometimes, and we’re shooting these oil pumps. Do you know what caliche is?”

“We’re driving on these caliche roads with the rocks in them and everything, and I’m wearing cowboy boots, and there are scenes where I have to run to the truck,” he continued. “It’s a hundred degrees with a hundred percent humidity. Jesus Christ, I’m in my 60s! This just sucks. My God, there were days when it was pretty tough. This was probably the toughest thing I’ve ever done.”

Moore spoke of Sheridan’s “unique way” of working with actors without a script.

“Taylor works in a very unique way, and every actor he meets — we basically sit down, we hear what he wants to do, where he wants to go, and we have to say yes or no based on that. There’s no script,” she said.

“Landman” comes to Paramount+ on November 17.

‘6666’

The series “6666” focuses on the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which was seen in the present day in “Yellowstone.”

“Founded when the Comanche still ruled West Texas, there is no ranch in America more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating today as it did two centuries ago and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature collide in a place where the most dangerous thing you do is do it next,” the synopsis reads, according to IMDb.

‘1944’

Fans can expect the “Yellowstone” franchise to take a look into the future with a new spinoff series tentatively titled “1944.”

In April 2023, Paramount Media Networks President and CEO Chris McCarthy confirmed that Matthew McConaughey would star in a spinoff series of “Yellowstone.” There were rumors that McConaughey would star in “1944,” but it is unclear if that is the case.

The director also revealed at the time that the “Dallas Buyers Club” star’s series is one of more than 10 projects he’s working on with “Yellowstone” creator Sheridan.

“In just five years, we’ve grown ‘Yellowstone’ from a successful U.S. cable series with five million viewers to a global hit franchise with over 100 million fans worldwide and multiple extensions. And we’re just getting started.”
