While yellow stone fans were thrilled to learn that Beth and Rip will continue to have focus in the future, a different spinoff outside of the Dutton Family is the most exciting development within Taylor Sheridan's shared TV universe. It has been confirmed that the story surrounding Beth and Rip will continue following the yellow stone season 5 finale. However, the most interesting prospect is Sheridan's next spin-off, Madison. Originally dubbed 2024, Madison will remain in the same universe as yellow stone but will shift the focus to an entirely new cast of characters.
Although the latest spin-off supposedly takes place after the events of yellow stonefans are already being told not to expect any appearances from anyone making it out of the main show alive. According to reports about the new show, the shared the Montana setting will be the only common point between the two shows. This is for the best, though. While it's exciting to see that Beth and Rip's love story will continue, an opportunity for another break is an exciting development for the future of the franchise.
Yellowstone spinoffs have overtaken the main show
Taylor Sheridan continues to expand the Yellowstone universe
The expansion yellow stone universe is overshadowing the main series, with Madison being the latest exciting addition to the franchise. Sheridan may have struck TV gold when yellow stone premiered in 2018, but its prequels quickly stole the spotlight. While 1883 and 1923 told stories of the Dutton family, Paramount+ originals moved away from soap opera stories set in the present day for extensive stories of the family's ancestors and their history in Montana. The spinoffs continued Sheridan's habit of landing big names, with Sam Elliot and Tim McGraw starring 1883 and Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in 1923.
Sheridan's next film Madison will feature big names like Michelle Pfeiffer and will continue to expand the universe outside of the show's established ensemble.
However, star power and the Dutton name are where the similarities between the shows end. 1883The indie focus explored the story of Elsa Dutton and her pioneering parents fighting to invade the West against impossible odds, giving it a throwback vibe to earlier eras of the genre. 1923 continued this story, showing the family's difficulties in ranching during Prohibition and just before the Great Depression. Like its other spinoffs, SHeridan's next Madison will feature big names like Michelle Pfeifferand will continue to expand the universe outside of the show's established set.
Beth & Rip spinoff risks being Yellowstone season 6
A new spinoff based on well-known characters risks being just a continuation of the original show
Shortly before the series finale yellow stoneNews broke that the saga of Cole Hauser's Rip Wheeler and Kelly Reilly's Beth Dutton would continue in a new spinoff. Reilly herself confirmed the news in the comments section of her Instagram post, responding to her on-screen “son” Finn Little about the announcement. However, this continued focus on already known stories and characters could turn this spinoff into a yellow stone Season 6 in everything but name. After all, Beth, Rip, and Carter ended up on a different ranch in Montana and will likely face similar drama and conflict as the main show.
Although they may live further away from their brother Kayce and his family than before, these characters can still make appearances, as they still live in their little part of Dutton Ranch. Even though Lloyd turned down Rip's offer to be a cowboy at the new ranch, that doesn't mean he won't change his mind. This could add another yellow stone fan favorite for the cast. Although it's exciting to see yellow stonethe story continues, this undermines the conclusive nature of season 5. Madison so exciting.
