Taylor Sheridan is one busy man! Even though Yellowstone is coming to an end, he’s got a lot of projects in the works. Besides the multiple Yellowstone prequels and spinoffs, he’s also branching out into different genres.
Sheridan is already working with the likes of Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, and Sylvester Stallone in his ongoing shows, and his new projects Land Man and Lioness will soon see veteran actors Billy Bob Thornton and Nicole Kidman joining the lineup.
Here’s everything that’s been revealed about all the upcoming Taylor Sheridan shows and movies:
1883: The Bass Reeves Story
Perhaps the most anticipated series out of all the upcoming Taylor Sheridan shows, 1883: The Bass Reeves Story is an 1883 spinoff starring David Oleyowo in the titular role of the “greatest frontier hero in American history,” a federal peace officer who worked in Indigenous American territory and captured over 3,000 outlaws without ever getting shot. His exploits served as the inspiration for the Lone Ranger The series will also star Denis Quaid, Barry Pepper, and Garrett Hedlund, and is expected to stream in 2023.
6666
What makes 6666 unique from other upcoming Taylor Sheridan shows is that it continues the Yellowstone timeline in the present. It will focus on the legendary Texas ranch that turned Jimmy into a cowboy in Season 4. Encompassing nearly 225 square miles of land, the Four Sixes ranch was acquired by the Yellowstone Buyers Group in 2022 for a reported $192 million.
As for the plot, Paramount has revealed that 6666 will tell the history of the Four Sixes ranch, which was founded back when West Texas was still ruled by the Comanches. The Four Sixes ranch encompasses an entire county, continues to operate as it did two centuries prior, and is focused on raising the finest livestock and horses on the planet.
Land Man
Land Man stars Billy Bob Thornton as a crisis manager for an oil company. Set to begin production in 2023, Land Man will tell the tales of roughnecks and billionaires alike — oil-rig fortune seekers that are reshaping not just the economy, but the very climate itself. The show is based on the podcast Boomtown
Lioness
Lioness is about a marine recruited by the CIA to infiltrate and take down terrorists. The show stars Laysla De Oliveira as Cruz Manuelos and Zoe Saldana as Joe, the station chief of the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team. Joe is tasked with training Cruz and other female operatives in the skills necessary to complete their undercover missions.
Nicole Kidman has also reportedly joined the cast, playing Kaitlyn Meade in Lioness, a senior CIA supervisor mentoring both Manuelos and Joe while struggling with her marriage at home.
Finestkind
Starring Jenna Ortega, Tommy Lee Jones, Tim Daly, Ben Foster, Aaron Stanford, Toby Wallace, and Clayne Crawford, Finestkind is an upcoming crime thriller drama movie with Sheridan taking on producer duties. Finestkind is about a pair of estranged brothers who strike a dangerous deal with a Boston crime syndicate.
1923 Season 2
Even before the first season was finished airing, Season 2 of 1923 was confirmed. Season 1 ended with the threat of the Duttons losing their ranch at the lands of the villainous Donald Whitfield while Spencer Dutton was separated from his wife while on voyage back to his home to help his family.
Perhaps more intriguing is the plot following Teonna Rainwater as she flees the murderous lawmen and priests on her trail. While no release date for Season 2 is confirmed, a 2024 release seemed likely.
Possible: Mayor of Kingstown Season 3
The show stars Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, the head of a family who has been keeping the peace in the titular town — a task beset with challenges as Kingstown and its infrastructure are built on the prison industry. Currently, there’s no news on whether there will or won’t be a third season of Mayor of Kingstown.
