It’s only May, and Taylor Sheridan has already released multiple new projects with more on the way later this year. His first two endeavors of the year were The Madison and Marshals, and while both contain all the Sheridan cliques that fans have come to expect, they scratch vastly different itches. The Madison is a more original Western, akin to the first season of Yellowstone, and the show features some big stars like Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer. Meanwhile, Marshals is a direct spin-off of the flagship Yellowstone show, and it brought back Luke Grimes to play Kayce Dutton. Sheridan has another Yellowstone spin-off, Dutton Ranch, confirmed to release later this month. Fans have already been speculating about a potential crossover between Dutton Ranch and another popular Sheridan series to emerge in the last few years, Landman.
While Sheridan is mostly known for his legendary TV exploits, such as the vast and expansive Yellowstone universe, he’s also written and even directed some famous movies over the years. One of the more infamous projects he’s attached to, though, is the adaptation of Tom Clancy’sWithout Remorse, which stars recent Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan. After a troublesome road to release, Without Remorse landed as a straight-to-streaming premiere on Prime Video in 2021, where the film is still one of the most popular watches on the platform in several countries around the world. While Sheridan opted not to direct the film, he did write the script and ideate the story, along with Will Staples. Stefano Sollima, who also directed Sheridan’s polarizing Sicario sequel, Day of the Soldado, helmed Without Remorse back in 2021. The film also stars Jodie Turner-Smith (The Acolyte), Guy Pearce (Killing Faith), and Jamie Bell (All Of Us Strangers).

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.

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 Is ‘Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse’ About?
Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse follows an elite Navy SEAL, John Kelly (played by Michael B. Jordan), who goes on a mission to avenge his wife’s murder. However, it doesn’t take long for him to find himself inside a much larger conspiracy. Sheridan famously made changes from Tom Clancy’s book to the Without Remorse script, which led to the film being panned by critics and audiences. It holds poor scores of 45% and 41% from both reviewers and fans on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. Without Remorse has shades of another Sheridan classic, Sicario, but it also has DNA from the legendary Jason Bourne franchise.
Check out Without Remorse on Prime Video, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Sheridan’s future projects.
