Since its premiere in 2018, 'Yellowstone' has captivated audiences with its portrayal of the Dutton family, who manage the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the U.S. amidst various conflicts.

The show's success has led to the creation of multiple spinoffs, including the prequels '1883' and '1923,' and now a new contemporary spinoff titled 'The Madison' featuring Michelle Pfeiffer.

Set to follow the conclusion of Season 5B, 'The Madison' will explore themes of grief and human connection, marking the seventh spinoff in the 'Yellowstone' universe.

Negotiations are currently underway for a sixth season of 'Yellowstone,' despite earlier announcements that Season 5 would be the final installment.

Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly are in discussions to lead the potential new season, following the departure of Kevin Costner, who played the central character John Dutton.

Costner's exit from the series was confirmed amid contract disputes and scheduling conflicts with his film 'Horizon: An American Saga,' leaving his character absent from upcoming episodes.

The new episodes of Season 5B will pick up after a dramatic midseason finale and are set to premiere on November 10, 2023.

While Season 5B was initially thought to be the series' conclusion, recent teasers have left the door open for further developments.

Costner has claimed he is owed $12 million for the second half of Season 5 due to a 'pay or play' clause, potentially leading to legal disputes with the producers.

Delays caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes have pushed the premiere date for the new episodes, which will now air later this year.

The spinoff '1923,' featuring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, has already been renewed for a second season, highlighting the franchise's ongoing popularity.

Chris McCarthy, president of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, expressed confidence in the future of the 'Yellowstone' franchise, indicating more series are in development.
