Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’ Expands Yet Again With New Entry

Published

on

Two years after ending its five-season run, Taylor Sheridan’s mega Western franchise Yellowstone is expanding yet again. As you already know, there are now five series in the franchise, including the original, which ran from June 20, 2018, to December 15, 2024, on Paramount Network and follows the Dutton family who own the largest cattle ranch in Montana, the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. This year has seen two sequels debut: Marshals and Dutton Ranch, the latter of which is still airing and is currently the most popular Western on television.

Amid the continued success of the Sheridanverse, Paramount announced tentative plans during Summer Game Fest to develop Yellowstone into a video game through its new gaming division, Paramount Games Studios. The multimedia company is collaborating with action-game developer PlatinumGames on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, with plans to also make games for Star Trek, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and SpongeBob SquarePants, before moving forward with other projects, including adapting the Sheridanverse.

During an interview with Polygon, Shawn Kittelsen, head of creative and production at Paramount Games Studios, revealed more about what to expect. “All of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone-adjacent titles, Landman, Tulsa King, these are all priorities for us.” He also mentioned video game plans for Lioness, which returns for Season 3 this summer. Lioness, starring Zoe Saldaña, is Sheridan’s hit spy thriller centered on a CIA team that enlists female operatives to go undercover in life-threatening situations.

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 Can Fans Expect From the Yellowstone Video Game?

With the game-changing Yellowstone update, Paramount execs want fans to know the video game will honor their devotion to the franchise. And this doesn’t mean these games will be rushed into development; top-tier quality is the utmost priority. That said, Paramount Games is taking every necessary step to select the “right partners” who work best for each IP, with the intention of working only with developers who already have a strong track record of making successful games. Kittelsen said as much while breaking down this new phase:

“If we build pillar by pillar, find the right partners, and make the right games for the audience, I think we can achieve massive success… Everything has to come from that player-first, fan-first perspective. We’re being much more selective about our partners because everything that we do, we don’t want to just spray and pray. Like we always say: we want missiles, not bullets.”

In the meantime, fans can keep up with the latest Yellowstone entry, Dutton Ranch, which premiered on Paramount+ on May 15, 2026, to conclude after nine episodes in July. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprise their roles from the mothership as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, who gamble everything on a new life in South Texas, away from their home in Montana.
