The long-awaited Yellowstone 6666 Episode 1 trailer is finally here—and it wastes no time plunging viewers into the heat, dust, and unforgiving reality of the legendary Four Sixes Ranch. With sweeping shots of Texas plains, hardened cowboys, and a tone far grittier than the Montana world fans are used to, the trailer signals the beginning of an entirely new chapter in Taylor Sheridan’s expanding universe.
From the very first frame, it’s clear: this spin-off stands proudly on its own, mixing classic Yellowstone energy with a distinctly Texan grit.
The 6666 Ranch: The Heart of a New Saga
The trailer paints the ranch not as a setting, but as a character with its own rules, traditions, and dangers. Known simply as the “Four Sixes,” the ranch has a reputation for forging the toughest cowboys in America.
What Makes the 6666 Different
The Four Sixes is portrayed as a place where:
- Risk is part of the job
- The land shapes every cowboy who works it
- History runs deeper than fences and brands
- Nature and law don’t always agree
Originally founded when Comanche territory dominated the region, the ranch gives the series a deeper historical foundation than any Yellowstone spin-off so far.
Familiar Faces Enter a New World
Two Yellowstone fan favorites guide the transition into this Texas-driven storyline.
Teeter (Jen Landon)

Her chaotic charm combined with Texas ranch discipline promises a unique dynamic.
Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White)

Together, Teeter and Jimmy offer continuity for Yellowstone fans while introducing the raw identity of the 6666 Ranch.
New Characters, New Conflicts, New Stakes
The trailer introduces a wave of new faces—each with their own stories and challenges:
- Fiercely loyal ranch hands
- Cowboys shaped by generations of tradition
- Outsiders stepping into a world they may not understand
- Power struggles that threaten the ranch’s stability
From the first episode, the series appears packed with personal rivalries, dangerous confrontations, and deeply rooted tensions.
