Yellowstone spinoff status: current state and confirmed titles
As of 2025, there is no Yellowstone spinoff released as a standalone continuation of the main series; the primary branded offshoots are 1883, 1923, and 1932, all of which have concluded their announced runs. Other rumored or in-development projects remain unconfirmed by Paramount Global or 101 Studios. Below, we clarify which shows are verified, which are speculation, and how to track future updates.
Confirmed Yellowstone universe series
1883: the origin story
1883 is a prequel miniseries that follows the Dutton family’s migration west in the late 19th century. It serves as the foundational story for the Yellowstone ranch and concludes with the events that set up the main series.
1923: the early legacy era
Set in 1923, this series explores the Duttons as landowners during Prohibition and the expansion pressures of the time. Season 1 aired in late 2021 and Season 2 in late 2022, completing the planned two-season arc.
1932: city ambitions and organized influence
1932 follows the family’s efforts to build a livestock empire in New York and Chicago during the Great Depression. The eight-episode second and final season concluded in early 2023, closing this chapter of the franchise.
Notable rumors and unverified projects
Several titles and concepts—such as a modern-day sequel or a focus on other ranch hands—have circulated online, but none have been officially greenlit. Showrunner Taylor Sheridan has not announced a new Yellowstone series set in the present timeline, and any claims of active development should be treated as speculation until a network or studio press release confirms production timelines.
Official sources and verification checklist
To assess any claim about a Yellowstone spinoff, follow a simple verification checklist: check Paramount Global press rooms, 101 Studios announcements, and the official Yellowstone YouTube channel for trailers and confirmations; consult IMDb or official press kits for episode counts, seasons, and air dates; review talent and creator statements for greenlight or renewal signals; and be wary of dated clickbait or recycled set photos from wrapped productions.
| Title | Verified Detail | Source Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1883 | Miniseries; prequel to Yellowstone; concluded 2022 | Paramount Global press release |
| 1923 | 2-season series (2021–2022); set in 1923 | Paramount press release |
| 1932 | 2-season series (2022–2023); set in 1932 New York/Chicago | Paramount press release |
How spinoffs differ from main-series continuations
A spinoff typically branches characters, settings, or timelines into a new production with its own creative scope, while a continuation advances the same storyline. For Yellowstone, the branded series 1883, 1923, and 1932 function as controlled origin stories rather than ongoing sequels, and any future project would require a fresh development cycle, casting, and narrative justification.
Evaluating future announcements
If a new Yellowstone project is announced, expect: a development studio credit (usually 101 Studios or a partner), a confirmed showrunner (often Taylor Sheridan), a network or streamer platform commitment, casting updates, and a pilot or series order—not just a title or stills. Until those milestones appear in official press materials, treat announcements as rumor risk.
Tracking updates responsibly
For reliable updates, prioritize primary sources: the Yellowstone official YouTube channel, Paramount Global investor relations, and verified talent or creator social channels. Secondary sources like entertainment trade outlets can summarize, but you should trace back to the original press release before treating a claim as confirmed. Setting topic notifications and following production databases (such as IMDbPro when available) can keep timelines clear and reduce noise from speculation.
