Theend ofYellowstonesaw the Dutton family sell the titular ranch back to the Broken Rock Reservation, with Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) buying a new one, taking their young ranch hand Carter (Finn Little) with them.

Speaking withTV Insider, however, Voros acknowledged two other previously announcedYellowstonespinoffs,6666and1944, providing updates on their development. The executive producer revealed there are still “some doors open,” and production on both shows will depend on Sheridan’s decision to continue. While she doesn’t know if the shows are still in development, it doesn’t mean they won’t arrive at some point in the future. Check out what Voros had to say below:
I honestly don’t know how Taylor chooses to tell which stories he chooses to tell when. I think he has closed a lot of doors on Yellowstone this season. There are obviously characters that we will not see again because they have been dispatched. But I think he has left some doors open, and there’s some doors that I can’t tell if they’re locked or not yet. But we will know when we cross through them.
