Yellowstone universe is definitely expanding with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser

The upcoming season finale of Yellowstone (2018) won't be the end of the Dutton clan's story.

Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Yellowstone (2018) and its ever-expanding universe, is working on the creative design of the new series, which will likely star other cast members from the main series in addition to Reilly and Hauser.

Led by Yellowstone (2018) characters played by the same actors in the same contemporary time frame, the new branch shares the most DNA with the Mothership of any series in the Yellowstone universe to date, which explains why it is the first spin-off would be with Yellowstone in the title.

Ahead of Sunday's Yellowstone (2018) season five finale, confusion grew over what happens next to the characters in the wildly popular drama series who are still alive at the end of the episode.

As reported in August, Yellowstone (2018) producers MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios had been in negotiations with Reilly and Hauser for months. The two were initially in the picture for a spin-off. Over the summer, it was revealed that the duo would continue as leads in season six of Yellowstone (2018), as the series picks up after the death of its original lead character, Kevin Costner's John Dutton.

That scenario was supported by the fact that Paramount Network, which had originally announced season 5B as the final season of Yellowstone (2018), quietly dropped that message when the teaser for the sub-season was released in June and the new episodes instead billed it as the "epic return" of the saga. Also the promo for the current season calls it a season finale, not a series finale.

Yellowstone (2018) centers on the Dutton family who manage the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Season 5B opened with the death of John Dutton and chronicled the aftermath, with two other characters – Denim Richards' Colby and Dawn Olivieri's Sarah – subsequently killed off. The ranch's fate hangs in the balance as the new governor plans to subdivide and develop the Yellowstone estate - exactly what John Dutton didn't want.

The new season, which confirms that Yellowstone (2018) continues to attract a large audience even without Costner, is a ratings success according to Paramount Network. Episode four drew a season-high viewership of 12.1 million, according to Paramount Network.
