After 2 Years, This Taylor Sheridan Neo-Western Doesn’t Have a Single Bad Episode

Published

2026 has already been a big year for Taylor Sheridan, and while he continues to expand his TV empire at Paramount, he’s also working on a few movies coming to the big screen soon. Sheridan’s first feature film in years will arrive around this time next year when he directs F.A.S.T., his new Sicario-esque action thriller starring Brandon Sklenar (star of 1923) and Jason Clarke. Sheridan’s long-time cinematographer Ben Richardson is directing the film. Sheridan is also hard at work writing the script for a new Call of Duty movie in the works at Paramount with Peter Berg attached to direct, but news broke not long ago that he’s going to have some serious competition. Recent Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan is in talks to produce and potentially star in a Battlefield movie that Christopher McQuarrie (Mission: Impossible) is going to write and direct.

What may be most impressive is that Sheridan is developing both these projects — and a new Texas war epic — while he continues to produce new seasons of TV for some of his most popular shows. He’s already aired two new TV shows this year, with The Madison (starring Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer) and Marshals (starring Luke Grimes), and the third season of Lioness is also confirmed to air before the end of the year. Sheridan is also soon to begin working on the third season of Landman, the Billy Bob Thornton-led oil drama that was due to begin production earlier this year before being delayed. Still, while fans eagerly anticipate the return of the show, Landman has surged back into the Paramount+ top 10 in more than 15 countries around the world.

Sheridan Has Spoken
You Belong In…

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

Mayor of Kingstown

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

What’s Going to Happen in ‘Landman’ Season 3?

Following the events of the explosive Landman Season 2 finale, it’s expected that things are going to look a lot different in Season 3. Now that Tommy (played by Billy Bob Thornton) has been fired by Cami (played by Demi Moore), he’s going off on his own to start a rival oil company with his son Cooper (played by Jacob Lofland) and his father T.L. (played by Sam Elliott). He’s also joined by Rebecca Falcone (played by Kayla Wallace), the fierce lawyer sure to mow down any problem that gets in the way.

Check out the first two seasons of Landman on Paramount+, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Sheridan’s future projects.
