It’s more than a foregone conclusion that Paramount is firmly in the Yellowstone business, as Taylor Sheridan’s drama franchise just keeps expanding. It was confirmed this past week that the flagship series’ final episodes will officially air around this time next year. When it’s done, fans won’t be left wanting either, as the network also ordered two additional spinoffs that are tentatively titled 1944 and 2024. Westerns certainly are all the rage at this entertainment company right now but, ironically, Paramount+ just canceled an entry in that genre – Joe Pickett.
News of the series’ demise after only two seasons on the streaming service was verified by Variety. The show was notably under the Spectrum Originals production banner, which shut down in August 2022. That imprint was overseen by Charter Communications but, despite that creative stake, the streaming rights to the series will remain with P+ for the time being. Considering the state of the production company that backed the series, one has to wonder just how much longer the show will be available on its current platform, especially since the streamer has been cutting shows as of late.
