At one point, the title of the spinoff was 2024. However, the tentative title is now The Madison. TVLine’s report states the spinoff is rumored to follow wealthy matriarch Stacy Clyburn and her family as they leave New York City and head to Montana in the wake of her husband and brother-in-law’s tragic deaths in a plane crash.

The spinoff stems from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Production is expected to begin later this month in Montana, New York, and Texas. The spinoff will likely air in 2025 after the conclusion of Yellowstone season 5, part 2, which marks the final run for the landmark cable series. Yellowstone season 5, part 2, premieres on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

In February 2023, Deadline reported that Yellowstone would end in its current form after the upcoming season. Sheridan planned to extend the Yellowstone universe in a sequel series starring Matthew McConaughey. Several stars of Yellowstone, including Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes, were in discussions to join the sequel. It is unclear if Russell replaced McConaughey or if the trio of Yellowstone stars will appear in the spinoff.

Yellowstone season 5, part 2, is currently in production. Kevin Costner will not return as John Dutton due to his work on Horizon: An American Saga. Season 5, part 2, is rumored to have six episodes, though that number could change.

"This war is just beginning," Kevin Costner's John Dutton says in the trailer for Yellowstone season 5, part 2.

In the new footage, the Dutton family battles to keep their ranch and reestablish their power over the valley. However, this will take sacrifice as opposing forces attempt to end the Duttons' reign. The 84-second teaser features Rip (Cole Hauser) setting a car on fire, Kayce (Luke Grimes) making a blood deal with Chief Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), Beth (Kelly Reilly) fighting with Sarah (Dawn Olivieri), and Jamie (Wes Bentley) experiencing an emotional breakdown.
