The last time we saw Rip and the others in Yellowstone, he was leading half of the ranch hands to Texas to protect the cattle and ensure their
survival through the winter. This move left the Dutton Ranch behind, with Rip, Jake, Ryan, Teeter, and Walker all heading to the 6666 ranch.
Fans familiar with Jimmy’s journey in the series will remember that this is where the beloved ranch hand currently resides and works. With
only a few episodes left in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, many viewers might have assumed that Jimmy wouldn’t appear again until the upcoming 6666 spinoff.
However, recent production photos from the 6666 ranch reveal that not only will Rip and his crew take on their cattle duties in Texas, but Jimmy will also be making another appearance.
In the photos, shared on Instagram by Four Sixes cowboy Zack Peters, the Yellowstone cast is seen mingling with real-life cowboys. The images feature Cole Hauser, Ryan Bingham, Jen Landon, Jake Ream, Ian Bohen, and Jefferson White, who plays Jimmy, standing on the far right.
While it seems likely that the divide between the Texas crew and the Montana crew will play a significant role in the next few Yellowstone episodes, it’s doubtful they’ll spend too much time away from the Dutton Ranch as the show’s main plot continues to unfold. Fans are left wondering what’s happening back in Montana.
Still, these photos confirm that at least some of the upcoming episodes will take place in Texas. Jimmy, looking sharp in his red shirt emblazoned with the Four Sixes logo, appears to have fully settled into life at the ranch.
It’s clear that the Texas-based episodes will be laying the groundwork for the 6666 spinoff, where Jimmy is expected to take a leading role alongside his on-screen fiancée, Emily.
