Taylor Sheridan has had a big year over on Paramount Plus, releasing new TV shows in droves, but the Yellowstone writer is preparing to return to filmmaking soon after focusing strictly on TV the last few years. Sheridan penned the script for a brand-new Sicario-style action thriller, F.A.S.T., which is coming to theaters on April 23, 2027. Sheridan’s long-time collaborator Ben Richardson is directing the film, which stars Brandon Sklenar, Sam Claflin, Jason Clarke, and LaKeith Stanfield. Sheridan is also working on a new Call of Duty movie set to be released in 2028, and it was just announced in the last few weeks that the film will be set in the Modern Warfare universe. Casting for the Peter Berg-directed action feature is expected to be announced before the end of the year.
While it’s Sheridan’s TV shows that have taken over the conversation in recent years, many fans who have been following his work for a while know he’s just as adept at writing movies as he is series. Back in 2021, Sheridan penned the script for the polarizing Tom Clancy adaptation, Without Remorse, starring Michael B. Jordan opposite Jodie Turner-Smith. Without Remorse was originally planned to be released theatrically, but it fell under poor timing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the film was ultimately dumped straight to streaming on Prime Video, where it still streams even to this day. Fans criticized Without Remorse for deviating from the source material, but some would push back that these changes were necessary to bring the book into live-action. Fans have been rewatching Without Remorse at such a high clip that the film has surged back into the Prime Video top 10.

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.

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?
The official synopsis for Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, which was directed by Stefano Sollima, reads as follows: “Elite Navy SEAL John Kelly (Michael B. Jordan) seeks vengeance after Russian assassins murder his pregnant wife, dragging him into a deadly conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. As he uncovers a shadowy plot destined to spark war between the U.S. and Russia, Kelly transforms into the operative who will become Tom Clancy’s iconic hero: Rainbow Six’s John Clark.” Without Remorse director Stefano Sollima worked with Sheridan in 2018 on Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Without Remorse did not accumulate any box office earnings, but the film earned poor scores of 45% from critics and 41% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
