  • Taylor Sheridan is one of Hollywood’s most prolific screenwriters.
  • The “Yellowstone” co-creator has a number of other projects in various stages of production.
  • This includes several stand-alone TV series and multiple “Yellowstone” spinoffs.

When “Yellowstone” ended its five-season run, viewers didn’t have to say goodbye — they just had to saddle up for more.

Thanks to Hollywood’s busiest cowboy, Taylor Sheridan, there’s now a whole herd of spinoffs from the Sheridan universe ready to stampede onto your watchlist.

Since moving away from acting, Sheridan, 55, has become one of the most prolific screenwriters in Hollywood. After writing feature films like “Sicario” and “Hell or High Water,” which earned him an Oscar nomination, and directing “Wind River,” he transitioned to TV, where he’s put Paramount+ on the map not just with “Yellowstone” and spinoffs “1883” and “1923” but “Tulsa King” and the hit Billy Bob Thornton-starrer “Landman.”

In October, Sheridan reportedly made a move that shocked Hollywood, as Puck revealed that Sheridan is taking his TV talents to NBCUniversal after his contract with Paramount expires in 2028. (His feature film deal with Paramount ends in March, so expect Sheridan movies to hit Universal sooner than his TV work).

Here’s what we know about all the projects he’s working on and where they stand.

1. ‘Y: Marshals’

CBS announced in May that Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton in a “Yellowstone” spinoff titled “Y: Marshals.”

Per its logline, “Y: Marshals” will see the character join an “elite unit of US Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana.”

Sheridan will executive produce the drama alongside Grimes.

It’s set to premiere in spring 2026.

2. ‘The Madison’

While announcing that “Yellowstone” would be drawing to a close in 2023, Paramount bosses promised “expansions of this incredible world” that Sheridan had built.

In February 2024, Puck reported that Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer were in negotiations to lead the cast of a present-day continuation titled “2024.”

In August 2024, it was announced that Pfieffer will star in and executive produce the new series, which has been renamed “The Madison.”

Sheridan will write the series, which is set to follow a family of New York City natives who live in the Madison River valley of central Montana.

Per Paramount Network, “the series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection.”

Chris McCarthy, the co-CEO of Paramount Global, said of Pfieffer’s casting: “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘The Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”

As of 2025, McConaughey has not officially been cast in the series.

3. ‘1944’

“1944” is yet another “Yellowstone” spinoff series that has been greenlit by Paramount. It’s also the one we know the least about.

It’s expected that it will, like the previous prequels “1883” and “1923,” take place in the titular year and focus on the difficulties the Duttons faced during the wartime period.

4. ‘6666’

This long-teased “Yellowstone” spinoff is set to revolve around the history of a real Texas-based ranch that Sheridan purchased in 2022. It was first announced in early 2021 and originally set to debut in 2023.

However, the future of the show remains up in the air. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, Sheridan explained the delays in getting “6666” (pronounced “four-sixes”) off the ground.

“That, for a number of reasons, needs a unique level of special care because this is a real place with real families working here. You have to respect the lineage,” he said, adding that he had told Paramount to “be patient.”

5. ‘Landman’

Based on the podcast “Boomtown,” the series was billed as a “modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs” in Texas, per a synopsis from Paramount+.

Demi Moore and Billy Bob Thornton starred in the first season of the show, which debuted in 2024. A second season was announced in early 2025, with Sam Elliott — who previously appeared in “1883” — joining the cast.

A second season of the show is set to air in 2026, according to Puck.

6. ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves’

The first season of the series, on which Sheridan served as an executive producer, told the story of legendary lawman Bass Reeves, one of the first Black US marshals west of the Mississippi River.

David Oyelowo, who starred in the lead role and served as an executive producer, said the series was set up to be an anthology, with each season focusing on “other lawmen in history whose story should be told.”

Chad Feehan, the show’s creator, showrunner, and executive producer, echoed this in an interview with Deadline shortly after season one finished airing.

“There are several figures in history much like Bass who deserve their day in the sun. As much as it pains me that this marriage is taking a hiatus, that is the reality,” he said.

“Lawmen” hasn’t been renewed for a second season.

7. ‘Special Ops: Lioness’

The first season of the espionage thriller, which Sheridan created, wrote, and executive produced, premiered in the summer of 2023, and a second season began airing in October 2024.

The series was inspired by a real-life US military program focused on bringing down terrorist organizations from within. The first season starred Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman.

A third season is set to air next year, according to Puck.

8. ‘Tulsa King’

“Tulsa King,” which marked Sylvester Stallone’s first leading role in a scripted television series, debuted in late 2022.

The series focuses on an aging mafia capo who is released from a 25-year prison sentence and sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to set up a new criminal organization. Sheridan created and executive-produced the series.

A second season premiered in September 2024, and a third premiered in September 2025.

9. ‘Mayor of Kingstown’

“Mayor of Kingstown” was the first series Sheridan created as part of his deal with Paramount. It premiered in late 2021.

Starring Jeremy Renner, the series is set in the fictional town of Kingstown, Michigan, and follows the powerful McLusky family as they attempt to bring justice and order to a community rife with corruption.

The show’s fourth season premiered in late October 2025.

10. ‘The Road’

Sheridan teamed up with “The Voice” coach and country star Blake Shelton for a new singing competition show for CBS.

“The Road,” which launched as part of the network’s fall 2025 schedule, follows “a headlining superstar on their journey to discover the next big artist,” per a press release.

Competitors will perform as opening acts for the headliner’s tour at venues across the US and must win over local fans to advance to the next location.

Sheridan and Shelton will executive produce the series along with “The Voice” producer Lee Metzger and “Yellowstone” producer David Glasser.

11. ‘Empire of the Summer Moon’

As if all of Sheridans’ existing commitments weren’t enough, it was announced in January 2024 that he and his Bosque Ranch production company had optioned the Pulitzer Prize finalist book “Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History,” by S.C. Gwynne.

Sheridan will produce the project alongside Jenny Wood, Deadline reported.

The book recounts the story of Quanah Parker, a chief of the Indian Comanche tribe, and the tribe’s 40-year battle against white settlers for control of the American West.

12. ‘The Dutton Ranch’

“Yellowstone” regulars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are set to have their own spin-off, which is set after the events of the “Yellowstone” finale.

According to the official synopsis: “Beth Dutton (Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Hauser) are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch. With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive.”

Annette Bening, Ed Harris, and Jai Courtney will also star.

The series will premiere in 2026, according to Puck.

13. “NOLA King”

Samuel L. Jackson is the latest major star to enter the Sheridan universe.

Jackson plays Russell Lee Washington Jr., a tough customer who has ties to Dwight Manfredi (Stallone) in season 3 of “Tulsa King.”

Inspired by what Dwight is doing in Tulsa, “Washington returns to New Orleans, the home he abandoned forty years ago, to rekindle his relationship with his family, friends, and to take control of the city he left behind,” according to the official synopsis.

The show will premiere in 2026, according to Puck.
