The Dutton saga isn’t over — it’s just getting bigger. New spinoffs, new battles, new secrets
The Yellowstone franchise has become one of modern TV’s most celebrated universes, blending epic Western storytelling with intense family drama. Since its debut in 2018, Taylor Sheridan’s saga of the Dutton family has spawned multiple spinoffs, exploring both the past and future of this iconic Montana ranching dynasty. Here’s a full look at all confirmed Yellowstone spinoffs, from prequels to new adventures.

The series stars Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Isabel May, LaMonica Garrett, Marc Rissmann, Audie Rick, Eric Nelsen, James Landry Hébert, and Noah Le Gros. By the series finale in 2022, James Dutton established the family’s Montana home in Paradise Valley, laying the foundation for the Yellowstone ranch.
