Set far from the snow-capped peaks of Montana, Taylor Sheridan’s newest Yellowstone spin-off takes viewers to the blazing plains of West Texas, home of the historic Four Sixes Ranch (6666). With sweeping cinematography, the return of fan-favorite characters Teeter (Jen Landon) and Jimmy (Jefferson White), and a cast of new faces, the series looks set to expand the Yellowstone universe into even tougher territory.
Yellowstone 6666 Episode 1 Trailer
The legendary Four Sixes Ranch isn’t just a backdrop — it’s the heartbeat of the story.
Founded in the late 1800s and spanning over 260,000 acres, the real-life ranch is one of America’s oldest continuously operating cattle operations. Sheridan, who bought the property in 2021, has called it “a living monument to cowboy life.”
In the trailer, the land itself takes center stage. The opening sequence — dust clouds over golden pastures, horses charging at dawn — frames the ranch as both a place of opportunity and trial.
“The land decides who belongs,” a gravel-voiced narrator intones, setting the tone for a story about endurance, respect, and the untamed spirit of Texas.

What makes the Four Sixes stand out:
- A land where danger and reward coexist
- Generations defined by loyalty to the ranch
- A setting where survival must be earned daily
- A living link between frontier heritage and modern ranching
Sheridan’s long fascination with the Four Sixes is no secret. The series finally gives him the chance to explore the authentic cowboy traditions that have inspired his storytelling since Yellowstone’s debut in 2018.
Teeter and Jimmy Return: Familiar Faces in a Harsher Land
The trailer confirms what Yellowstone fans have hoped for: Teeter and Jimmy are officially back.
Teeter’s Transformation
Played by Jen Landon, Teeter quickly became a breakout character in Yellowstone’s fourth season. Her sharp humor, wild energy, and fierce work ethic made her a fan favorite.
Now, she’s trading Montana’s cold for the heat and grit of Texas. The trailer hints at a more mature, disciplined Teeter — a woman shaped by loss and loyalty.
“In Texas, you don’t talk tough. You prove it,” Teeter says in one of the trailer’s most replayed moments.
Her journey promises self-discovery through hardship — a thread Sheridan has used to anchor many of his most memorable characters.
Jimmy’s Redemption
Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) continues his arc from reckless ranch hand to skilled cowboy. After earning his stripes at the Four Sixes in Yellowstone, Jimmy’s return marks a homecoming — but not an easy one.
The trailer shows him rejoining the ranch under new leadership, facing a mix of respect and resentment. For Jimmy, the 6666 isn’t just a workplace — it’s a crucible testing how much of the “Dutton way” still lives inside him.
Together, Teeter and Jimmy serve as emotional bridges to the Yellowstone saga — and symbols of how Sheridan’s universe is growing beyond one family and one ranch.
New Characters and a Tougher Frontier
The Yellowstone: 6666 trailer introduces a lineup of gritty new characters, reflecting the real-life hierarchy of ranching life in Texas.
Expect to meet:
- Veteran foremen living by unspoken cowboy codes
- Newcomers who learn fast that respect isn’t given, it’s earned
- Ranch hands torn between tradition and modern pressure
- Local families tied to the land for generations
The tone is darker and more grounded than Yellowstone. There’s less talk of family empires — and more about the code of the cowboy.
Key Themes: Legacy, Loyalty, and Survival
The trailer offers clear hints about the series’ deeper themes.
Legacy vs. Modernization: Texas ranching faces new challenges — technology, land development, and shifting economics. The series seems poised to explore what it means to preserve heritage in a changing world.
Survival and Self-Discovery: The 6666 isn’t a job; it’s a trial. Each character is forced to prove their worth not just through strength but through resilience.
Moral Gray Areas: Like Yellowstone, this spin-off embraces blurred moral lines. Cowboys deliver justice in their own way — not always legally, but often rightly.
The Power of the Land: Perhaps the show’s most profound theme: the land itself shapes those who live on it. Sheridan’s camera captures it as both a punishing force and a sacred teacher.
Behind the Camera: Sheridan’s Most Authentic Western Yet
Taylor Sheridan has called 6666 his “most personal” project.
Filmed on location at the actual Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas, production began quietly in spring 2025 under Paramount’s expanding Sheridan universe, which also includes 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, and Tulsa King.
Sheridan, himself a Texas native and working rancher, has long argued that television rarely captures the true reality of cowboy life. 6666, he says, is meant to fix that.
“The Four Sixes isn’t just a set — it’s real life. You can feel the dust, the labor, and the legacy in every frame,” Sheridan told Paramount Network in a behind-the-scenes interview.
Industry analysts are already predicting 6666 could attract record streaming numbers for Paramount+, following Yellowstone’s consistent ranking as one of the most-watched shows on U.S. television.
Release Date and Where to Watch>
Paramount has not announced an exact release date for Yellowstone: 6666, but the trailer confirms that it’s “coming soon” in 2026 exclusively on Paramount+.
The show is expected to premiere after the conclusion of Yellowstone’s final season, allowing a seamless transition for fans eager to stay within the Sheridan universe.

The trailer suggests a story about work, pride, and identity — told through cracked hands, dusty roads, and a deep respect for the land.
As Teeter and Jimmy face their next chapter under the burning Texas sun, one thing is clear: The Four Sixes doesn’t just build cowboys — it tests souls.
