Taylor Sheridan is still the guy Paramount calls when it wants dust, danger, and morally messy people making bad decisions in gorgeous places. Yellowstone, 1883, Tulsa King — his whole frontier-to-crime pipeline basically built the modern Paramount+. But that era has an expiration date: Sheridan’s current mega-deal runs through 2028, and then he rides off to NBCUniversal. Starting in 2029, he’ll be cooking up film and TV for Universal and Peacock. Until then, plenty of new and returning projects are lined up under the Paramount banner (plus one big swing at Warner Bros.). Here’s what’s actually coming, what’s filming, and what’s still a gleam in the rancher’s eye.

Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 (Paramount+)
Sheridan’s bleakest series — co-created with Hugh Dillon — is back in the fictional prison town of Kingstown, Michigan, where the McLusky family tries to referee inmates, gangs, cops, and politicians while everything keeps catching fire. Jeremy Renner returns as fixer-in-chief Mike McLusky — a legit milestone after his near-fatal accident — with Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, and Derek Webster also back.
New this season: Edie Falco as Warden Nina Hobbs, Lennie James as Frank Moses, and Laura Benanti as Cindy Stephens. The Russian mafia’s grip has snapped, leaving a vacuum everyone wants to fill, and Mike’s running out of allies fast. Season 4 premiered October 26, 2025, with two episodes on day one and weekly drops after.
-
Landman Season 2 (Paramount+)
Sheridan and Christian Wallace’s oil-boom drama — inspired by the Boomtown podcast — digs deeper into West Texas money and mayhem. Billy Bob Thornton is back as Tommy Norris, a landman climbing the ladder from wheeling-and-dealing on the ground to playing power politics inside the company itself.
Returning: Ali Larter, Demi Moore, and Andy Garcia. Jon Hamm’s Monty Miller imploded at the end of Season 1, so his fate is up in the air. New faces include Sam Elliott as a series regular and Stefania Spampinato as Galino’s wife. Expect that cartel thread from Season 1 to detonate. Production kicked off in April this year, and Season 2 launches November 16, 2025, with a two-part premiere and weekly episodes after.

Y: Marshals (CBS)
Sheridan takes the Dutton-verse to network TV for the first time. Co-created with David C. Glasser and Spencer Hudnut (who also directs and serves as showrunner), the series follows Luke Grimes’s Kayce Dutton swapping ranch life for a badge as part of an elite U.S. Marshals unit roaming Montana’s wide-open trouble zones.
Yellowstone vets Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater), Mo Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill (Tate) return, alongside newcomers Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, and Logan Marshall-Green. Sheridan executive produces. CBS ordered 13 episodes, slotted Sundays at 9 PM ET in Spring 2026. Production is underway.
-
The Madison (Paramount+)
A quieter, more intimate Sheridan project — still a neo-western, but with heart up front. A New York family tries to rebuild in Montana’s Madison River Valley after a life-altering tragedy. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as Stacy Clyburn and also executive produces.
The ensemble includes Patrick J. Adams, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Ben Schnetzer, and Kevin Zegers. Christina Alexandra Voros (a frequent Sheridan collaborator) directs. Produced by Paramount Television Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions, the series is in post and targeting a 2026 release on Paramount+.
-
1944 (Paramount+)
The next Yellowstone prequel after 1923 moves the Dutton saga into World War II — a turning point for the country and the ranch. Official casting is still under wraps. Fan chatter says we could see Brandon Sklenar’s Spencer Dutton and Julia Schlaepfer’s Alexandra again, maybe alongside a young John Dutton II, but that’s speculation until someone signs on the line.
Filming has not started, so the earliest this lands is 2026. Expect it to serve as connective tissue between the earlier generations and the modern Yellowstone chaos.
-
F.A.S.T. (Warner Bros. feature film)
Sheridan ditches the saddles for a straight-up action thriller. Brandon Sklenar (yes, from 1923) plays a former U.S. Special Forces officer tapped by the DEA to lead a covert team against a drug network allegedly protected by the CIA — so it is not just shootouts; it is institutional rot and ugly choices.
The cast is stacked: Juliana Canfield, LaKeith Stanfield, Jason Clarke, Sam Claflin, and Trevante Rhodes. Theatrical release is set for April 23, 2027.
-
The Dutton Ranch (Paramount+)
This spinoff goes all-in on Yellowstone’s power couple. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser return as Beth and Rip, picking up right after the series finale as they try to build a life that is slightly less apocalyptic — good luck with that. Finn Little is back as Carter, now older and savvier. Annette Bening joins as Beulah Jackson, who runs the ranch next door and is not exactly a passive neighbor.
The series was initially targeting 2025 but has been pushed to 2026. Cameras roll in late 2025.
-
6666 (Paramount+)
Set on Texas’s legendary Four Sixes Ranch — which Sheridan actually owns — this spinoff shifts the focus from Montana mountains to West Texas heat. Present day setting, 200 years of tradition, and a code that still bites. The expectation (not yet officially confirmed) is that Jefferson White’s Jimmy Hurdstrom will lead, with Kathryn Kelly’s Emily likely alongside him, since Yellowstone already relocated them there.
It has been in development since 2021. Between strikes and Sheridan’s stacked calendar, progress has been slow. Optimists are eyeing 2026, but nothing is locked.
-
Empire of the Summer Moon (format TBA)
Sheridan is adapting S.C. Gwynne’s bestseller about the Comanche Nation’s rise and fall and the life of Quanah Parker, their last great chief — a man born to a Comanche father and a white mother taken in a raid, straddling two worlds as the frontier changed forever.
Sheridan will write, direct, and produce via Bosque Ranch Productions. No cast yet. Still early days, but this is the kind of sweeping, morally complicated history he tends to nail.
One more industry-side detail to keep in mind: everything above (except F.A.S.T.) sits inside Sheridan’s Paramount run, which ends in 2028. After that he starts building shows and films for NBCUniversal and Peacock in 2029. Translation: plenty to watch now, and a whole new phase on deck.
Which one has your attention — Beth and Rip’s next chapter, the Marshals leap to CBS, or Renner’s return in Kingstown?
