CBS is trying to wrangle itself one of them Yellowstone spin-offs, too

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone is kind of like some sort of beautiful and never-ending cow: Even after expiring, it continues to grow spun-off detritus for the industrious collector to harvest and profit from. Paramount has been pretty free with the Western series’ various leavings for years at this point, having produced various historical spin-offs whose year-based names we could not, with a gun to our head and a trip to the train station in the offing, list for you right now without having to look them up. (Okay, we caved and checked: 1883 and 1923, with a future option on 1944.) (There was also another spin-off announced once upon a time called 6666, but that was about a ranch with that name in the modern day, and not about space horses pounding their hyperhooves in the far-flung future, alas.) Anyway, most of these spin-offs, presumably including the one that’s basically going to take the place of a sixth season of the since-ended flagship series, with stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser in the lead, have confined themselves to either cable or streaming. Now, though, it sounds like CBS might be hungry for a taste of Sheridan’s TV beef, too.
