‘Tulsa King’ Star’s New Netflix Mystery Thriller Gets First Look and Release Date

Published

on

Taylor Sheridan has star-making capabilities like few other writers, especially for those he puts in his biggest Paramount Plus shows. One of the brightest up-and-coming stars to benefit the most from starring in a Taylor Sheridan-written project is Brandon Sklenar, who was once just known as the guy from 1923, the Yellowstone prequel starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Last year, Sklenar headlined one of the biggest movies of the year in The Housemaid (co-starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried), and he’s also set to reunite with Sheridan for his new Sicario-style action thriller, F.A.S.T. Another star that has certainly benefited from his role in a Sheridan-written and produced project is Garrett Hedlund, who has featured prominently in the first three seasons of Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone.

Even before his role in Tulsa King, Hedlund was a star known for his work in other films like Tron: Legacy, Four Brothers, On the Road, and Mudbound. The latter project is streaming on Netflix, and Hedlund is set to return to the platform for his new Nashville-set mystery thriller, Heartland. This morning, Netflix unleashed the first-look photos of Heartland, which also stars Jessica Chastain, Carter Faith, Ross Lynch, Paul Sparks, Jennifer Nettles, and even John Hawkes. The streamer also confirmed that the film will have its worldwide premiere later this year on November 13. Hailing from writer/director Shana Feste, the official logline for Netflix’s Heartland reads as follows: “Former country megastar, Misty Jones, comes out of seclusion to investigate the disappearance of her missing niece, a rising country musician, and must grapple with her own past and Nashville’s seedy underbelly. Her search uncovers a murky side of Nashville where no one, including Misty, is who they seem.”

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.
