In spite of the original Yellowstone series seemingly having come to an end, the franchise is showing no signs of slowing down, with another spin-off reportedly in the works.

Deadline has reported that a new series is being developed for CBS, rather than Paramount Network and Paramount Plus, where Taylor Sheridan's shows usually sit.
The show is reportedly set to see Luke Grimes reprise his Yellowstone role as livestock commissioner Kayce Dutton, with the series set to tap into his background as a Navy SEAL.
The Yellowstone finale left Kayce signing the entire land of the Yellowstone Ranch over to Rainwater and his tribe for $1.25 an acre, with the condition that the land would never be developed, and Kayce, his wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and their son Tate (Brecken Merrill) would stay on a small parcel where they’ve built a home.
That show is expected to have the name Yellowstone in its title, is reportedly being developed by Sheridan, and it is expected that it could be the central continuation of the original show's storyline.
Other shows set in the Yellowstone universe include 1883, which ran for one season, as well as 1923, the second and final season of which is ongoing.
There is also another show on the way which is set in the present day, called The Madison, which will star Michelle Pfeiffer and has already been filmed.
It will follow the McIntosh family, who live in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
