Inside Taylor Sheridan’s Expanding Universe: Every Movie and TV Series in the Works

If you thought Taylor Sheridan was going to slow down, think again. The guy just keeps stacking projects like he’s on a mission to personally fill up Paramount’s entire release calendar. And no, he’s not just sticking to Yellowstone spin-offs (though there are plenty); he’s got everything from undercover thrillers to video game blockbusters and mob sagas up his sleeve. Even a theatrical action flick thrown in. Let’s get into all the madness – with all the details you actually care about.

Where We’re At: Yellowstone’s End & Sheridan’s Next Moves

You probably know Taylor Sheridan for Yellowstone and its two prequels (1883, 1923), but the franchise doesn’t cover even half of his current workload. Questions swirled after Sheridan inked a fresh deal with NBC, but here’s the important part: none of this affects his ongoing Paramount shows. There will still be more Duttons, and a lot more Sheridan to go around. So let’s hit the highlights of what’s officially coming up.

What’s Coming Up? Here’s Your Sheridan Mega-List

• 'Dutton Ranch' – May 15, 2026 (Paramount+)
  Welcome to South Texas, Beth & Rip edition. Instead of dragging Yellowstone out for a sixth season with the same crew, Sheridan is giving Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) their own post-Yellowstone spin-off. They’re tackling a 7,000-acre ranch in South Texas, going toe-to-toe with a particularly nasty new rival. Finn Little is back as Carter. Here’s something spicy: Chad Feehan created the series, but was fired before the premiere – Sheridan’s staying on as exec producer, but Feehan won’t be back for season 2. The first season drops with a double-episode premiere May 15, 2026, new episodes each week through July 3 (for a total of nine).
• 'Lioness' – Season 3, late 2026 (Paramount+)
  Sheridan’s CIA-adjacent thriller, starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, is finally back for round three, after a second season that actually bumped up the emotional stakes and won over viewers. Ian Bohen joins the regular cast as Grady, a Delta Force/K9 handler (yes, that kind of show). Almost everyone from previous seasons is expected to return: Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman, Laysla De Oliveira, and others. Season 3 shot from October 2025 to March 2026, and should hit screens late in the year.
• 'Tulsa King' – Season 4, Fall 2026 (Paramount+)
  Sly Stallone’s mobster-in-Tulsa saga is officially back for a fourth round. Honestly, not much will change: Dwight (Stallone) is still outwitting everyone and building his own empire. The big kerfuffle: Terence Winter (the original showrunner) wasn’t in charge when production started, but he is coming back for this season. Shooting started late 2025—expect the season sometime in autumn, though exact date is TBD (as per usual with this show).
• 'Landman' – Season 3, late 2026 (Paramount+)
  Billy Bob Thornton’s show about the Texas oil biz just keeps chugging. Season 2’s premiere set records for Paramount+, so renewal was a no-brainer. What’s new? Not much has escaped the Texas set, but the season began filming May 2026, and Stephen Kay (director) said they’re still chopping episodes while shooting. Thornton, Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, and Demi Moore are locked in to return. If they stick to past patterns, a November 2026 release is likely.
• 'Frisco King' – Late 2026 / Early 2027 (Paramount+)
  This one’s spun directly from Tulsa King (originally named Nola King), but don't expect business as usual. The show’s shifted from New Orleans to Frisco, Texas, and Dave Erickson (original showrunner) bowed out, so Sheridan himself wrote the first eight episodes. Samuel L. Jackson stars as Russell Lee Washington Jr. (a Tulsa King alum), joined by Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate, and Savanna Gann. Directed by Christina Alexandra Voros (pilot only). They started rolling cameras in March 2026, so don’t bet on seeing it before the end of the year; early 2027 probably makes more sense.
• 'F.A.S.T.' – April 23, 2027 (Theaters)
  Sheridan’s not ignoring the big screen: enter 'F.A.S.T.', an action thriller written by Sheridan back circa Hell or High Water/Sicario days. At one point, Chris Pratt was his dream lead—fast-forward a few years (and lots of studio shuffling), and now it stars Brandon Sklenar (from 1923). Plot: Sklenar’s a busted-up former special forces guy leading a CIA-backdoor black ops strike team against cartel targets—nothing subtle. The stacked cast includes Juliana Canfield, LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Clarke, Sam Claflin, Trevante Rhodes, Wilson Bethel, and Chloe Coleman. Ben Richardson (another 1923 alum) makes his directorial debut. Filming’s a wrap, release is set for April 23, 2027.
• 'Mayor of Kingstown' – Season 5, Late 2026 / Early 2027 (Paramount+)
  Sheridan’s 'prison-industrial-complex' drama, anchored by Jeremy Renner (back as Mike McLusky after his accident), circles a powerful family in Kingstown, Michigan. A few shake-ups: Edie Falco is now Warden Nina Hobbs, David Morse is this season’s big bad (as an FBI agent), and the regulars (Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Lennie James) stick around. Production kicked off in Pittsburgh March 2026. While some rumors predicted it’d be the last season, Renner recently teased more could be coming.
• 'Call of Duty' – June 30, 2028 (Theaters)
  Sheridan’s been tapped to co-write a script for the blockbuster video game franchise’s first proper film adaptation, working with director Peter Berg (yes, his Hell or High Water buddy). We know almost nothing about the plot, cast, or which part of the game it’s adapting. The only sure thing: June 30, 2028 release date.
• '1944' – Release TBD (Paramount+?)
  If you want more Dutton backstory, Sheridan has another Yellowstone prequel in development—actually, it's been rumored for a while: '1944'. Given the time period, odds are high it’ll explore the Dutton ranch (maybe with women running the show while the men are fighting WWII). Don’t hold your breath, though—between a busy creator and the fact that Sheridan’s Paramount deal wraps in 2028, this one could be delayed indefinitely (or never actually happen).

What’s the Takeaway?

Sheridan isn't slowing down, even a little—not with networks, genres, or spin-offs. A lot of these projects have swapped showrunners, shifted filming locations, or survived a little development drama, but that seems to be standard operating procedure for Sheridan’s camp these days. If you’re in the market for neo-Westerns, mobsters, CIA operatives, or simply want a familiar thud of boots on Montana soil, there’s a Sheridan show (or three) built just for you.

One quote you should know:
'Renner recently hinted there may be more to come' for Mayor of Kingstown—so maybe don’t believe every “this is the last season” rumor you hear.
