When it comes to Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, we’ve seen enough of old men chasing after women half their age—let’s mix it up, shall we? While Kevin Costner’s John Dutton has already solidified his place as the rugged patriarch, there’s a fresh opportunity brewing. Picture this: a spin-off that gives Dutton the justice he deserves, minus the tired tropes, and introduces a new face ready to blow the audience away.

With one actor just waiting to break out and light up the screen, Sheridan’s next move could be the perfect blend of legacy and fresh energy. And who says only the old dogs get all the action? Sometimes, it’s the young pups that steal the show.

Taylor Sheridan ain’t done with Kevin Costner’s John Dutton just yet. As Yellowstone rides into its final sunset, there’s buzz about a spin-off that could reignite the Dutton saga. Picture this: a young John Dutton series that kicks off with a dramatic scene—older John bleeding out on the ground, a mystery shooter (or stabber) nowhere to be found.
John’s life flashes before his eyes, episode by episode, memory by memory. We get a front-row seat to his wild past and the choices that shaped him. And just when you think the dust has settled, bam—a shocking reveal of who took John down. Perfect for Sheridan’s brand of storytelling, right?
Josh Lucas, who portrayed young John Dutton, is eager to return. On SiriusXM’s The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw, Lucas shared his hope to saddle up again, saying (via EW):
You know, I sure hope so! I think so. I asked [series creator Taylor Sheridan] a while back, I sent him a text… because I did genuinely want to thank him for the experience, because I love being there. I love being out on those horses. I love being on that land.
And let’s face it—fans are ready for a fresh take, free from the cringe-worthy scenes of older Dutton with women half his age. As one fan put it, “Except no more old men with women their daughters’ age.”

With Yellowstone’s final season dropping in November 2024 and two new spin-offs on deck, Sheridan’s all about leaving us wanting more. A series that starts with a dying John Dutton and ends with a jaw-dropping reveal? That’s how you keep folks hooked.
So, gear up for a ride where Sheridan’s signature storytelling meets a respectful tribute to John Dutton’s legacy.

Fans are buzzing about Taylor Sheridan’s plans to give Yellowstone a fresh twist. They’re excited to see Sheridan breathe new life into the series and explore John’s backstory. But not everyone’s on board with this idea. They argue that Yellowstone’s already gone off-rails, morphing from a gripping drama into a full-blown soap opera.

Fans are skeptical about any new spin-offs or prequels, hoping for a finale that actually makes sense and gives the show a fitting end. Criticism is mounting, but Sheridan seems ready to surprise everyone—one last time.
