Taylor Sheridan is a household name. The American filmmaker, showrunner, and actor is a mastermind behind so many acclaimed movies and TV shows of the last decade. Yellowstone not only earned the title of the most watched scripted show on television, but has consistently earned award nominations—including several nods from the Golden Globes. But if you’ve binged the last season, check out this list of other Taylor Sheridan movies and TV series worth watching.
The success of all his projects can be attributed to his authentic writing—he grew up on a Texas ranch! You’ll find this dynamic spirit across the creator’s repertoire, from the hit show Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone to the Yellowstone prequels, 1883 and 1923 featuring the Dutton family. Not to mention, he’s already thinking ahead with some brand-new shows, 1944, Dutton Ranch, and NOLA King with Samuel L. Jackson. You’ll also enjoy tuning into his recent American drama series Landman, exploring the boomtowns of West Texas or one of his several reality TV shows. Without further ado, here’s a guide to all the movies and TV shows written or created by Sheridan, along with available info on what’s to come next.
1. Yellowstone
Yellowstone is the Western series that had everyone talking these last few seasons! It tells the gritty, modern story behind the Dutton family, aka the powerful owners of the largest ranch in all of Montana. A status this high comes with lots of drama and enemies. Don’t worry, though, the brooding cowboys and witty cowgirls know how to handle their own! The series concluded with season 5 in 2024.
2. 1923
This Yellowstone prequel stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as Cara and Jacob Dutton, the leaders of the ranch-owning family at the time. If you love a 20th century period piece, this one is for you. (This one will make more sense once you’ve watched 1883, the first Yellowstone prequel.) It completed its second (and apparently final) season in early 2025.
3. Lawmen: Bass Reeves
Diving into the world of U.S. history, Lawmen: Bass Reeves focuses on a real-life historic figure. You’ll watch as the first Black U.S. Marshal makes a serious impact in the world of American law in the 1800s. Being in his position is no easy feat, but he does so with integrity and confidence, much like any leading man in a Sheridan show.
4. Special Ops: Lioness
The CIA’s Lioness Program is made up of some of the toughest and sharpest women in the game. It kind of needs to be, because they’re going to be responsible for bringing down a terrorist group with some looming ill-intentioned plans. Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman are just two of the Hollywood names starring in this show.
5. 1883
If you love Yellowstone, you simply have to watch its prequel, 1883. Beyond the star-studded cast, Sheridan does a beautiful job setting up the Dutton family’s origin story as they pioneer across America in search of what will become the Dutton ranch. Don’t worry about committing to another four seasons—it’s a limited series!
6. Mayor of Kingstown
Mayor of Kingstown diverges slightly from Sheridan’s other projects in that it’s set farther northwest, in Michigan. Jeremy Irons returns to Sheridan’s team as one of two powerful brothers in Kingstown, who act as the liaisons between prisoners and the Kingstown community. When a young guard, Sam, is set up to deliver a letter for a prisoner, Irons’ character works to get him off the hook. The series is already renewed for season 4, expected in October 2025.
7. Tulsa King
Taylor’s Paramount crime show began airing its first season at the end of 2022 and will premiere season 3 in fall 2025. It stars Sylvester Stallone as a mobster who, after serving 25 years in prison for murder, is banished to Tulsa to re-establish an Italian mafia family. Say hello to another Western set drama!
8. The Last Cowboy
You may not be a reality TV show kind of person, but you will be this kind of reality show person. The Last Cowboy has lots of heart—it’s an unscripted show about real-life cowboys and cowgirls competing for a one million dollar prize in the sport of Reining, one of the toughest and most dangerous sports in the world.
9. Sicario
Sheridan’s first film as a screenwriter stars Emily Blunt as an FBI agent who’s enlisted into a task force to bring down a brutal Mexican drug cartel. It’s an action thriller and received critical acclaim in 2011 for both the acting and the writing.
10. Hell or High Water
The phrase “come hell or high water” typically means “do whatever needs to be done, no matter the circumstances.” This meaning plays into the plot of Sheridan’s second foray into the Western genre, which was released in 2016. Two brothers carry out a series of bank robberies to save their family ranch in West Texas while two Texan rangers pursue them.
