Taylor Sheridan: All movies & TV shows from the Yellowstone creator
YouTube/YellowstoneYellowstone fans, listen up — we’ve listed all of creator Taylor Sheridan’s movies and TV shows, and where to watch them.
Sheridan is arguably one of the most powerful figures in television right now. His hands are on the reins of an epic cowboy kingdom, from the big finale in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, to the plethora of Yellowstone spinoffs.
However, he’s not a one-trick pony. Neo-Western storytelling may be his hay and water, but his writing and directing credits are wide-reaching.
From some of the best westerns on the big screen, to crafting a bunch of the best TV shows around, Sheridan is hot property. So, let’s take a look at everything he’s done.

Vile (2011)
Vile is technically Taylor Sheridan’s directorial debut — though he disagrees — and unlike the rest of his oeuvre, it’s an extraordinarily brutal, torture-porn horror movie. It follows a group of people who are kidnapped, forced to inflict pain on each other in order to escape.
He told Rotten Tomatoes in 2017: “I would say [Wind River] is my feature debut. A friend of mine raised… $20,000 or something, cast his buddies, and wrote this bad horror movie that I told him not to direct.
“He was going to direct and produce it, and he started and freaked out. He called and said, ‘Can you help me?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll try.’ I kind of kept the ship pointed straight, and they went off and edited, and did what they did.
“I think it’s generous to call me the director. I think he was trying to say thank you, in some way. It was an excellent opportunity to point a camera and learn some lessons that actually benefited me on Wind River.”

Sicario (2015)
LionsgateSicario, written by Taylor Sheridan, is an all-star crime thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve. It follows Kate Mercer (Emily Blunt), an FBI agent recruited by a government task force to flush out Mexican drug lords operating at the US border.
The cast also includes Daniel Kaluuya, Josh Brolin, Benicio del Toro, and a cameo from John Bernthal. It’s quite literally one of the best movies of the last decade, too, and a must-watch in our eyes.

Hell or High Water (2016)
LionsgateHell or High Water, written by Taylor Sheridan, is a neo-western heist drama directed by David Mackenzie. The story sees two brothers (Chris Pine and Ben Foster) rob banks in an effort to save their family ranch. When they are pursued by two Texas Rangers (Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham), things get a little messy.
This is another bona fide hit from the pen of Sheridan. Hell or High Water was even nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Original Screenplay.

Wind River (2017)
The Weinstein CompanyWind River is written and directed by Taylor Sheridan. The thriller follows two agents (Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen) in their efforts to solve a brutal murder on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming.
It’s yet another sharply written, superbly executed movie from Sheridan. We highly recommend you watch Wind River as part of a loose trilogy with Sicario and Hell or High Water.

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
LionsgateSicario: Day of the Soldado is written and helmed by Taylor Sheridan, who took on directing duties after Denis Villeneuve opted not to return for the sequel. Blunt didn’t return, either, with the film instead following Josh Brolin and Benicio del Toro’s characters amid drug cartels smuggling terrorists across the border.
Sadly, Sicario 2 is not as good as its predecessor, though that’s a high standard to live up to. It’s a perfectly solid thriller movie in its own right, and the double-act of Brolin and del Toro will always be fun to watch.

Without Remorse (2021)
Prime VideoTaylor Sheridan was tapped by Paramount to rewrite Without Remorse, Michael B. Jordan’s debut as John Clark in the (short-lived) Tom Clancy cinematic universe.
In an interview with CinemaBlend, director Stefano Sollima explained how Sheridan’s contributions impacted the movie. “It changed a lot because when I came on board, we had a script that was written by Shawn Ryan. Do you remember, the creator of The Shield, and it was written in the early ’90s,” he said.
“Of course I pitched my vision that was pretty radical because I wanted to modernize the story. But, it wasn’t easy. And then I already worked with Taylor Sheridan and I knew that he was the perfect writer because… we have a lot of common taste in how to pay attention to the psychological evolution of a character and to be really accurate in the geopolitical description. So we changed it a lot, and our story it’s different from the book.”

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
Warner Bros.Those Who Wish Me Dead marked Taylor Sheridan’s second movie as a writer-director. The movie stars Angelina Jolie as a smokejumper who helps a young boy flee from assassins who killed his father.
Similar to Sicario 2, Those Who Wish Me Dead is absolutely fine without excelling in any particular area. It has a fairly interesting story, Jolie and Bernthal have a good screen presence, but it’s simply a bit forgettable.

Yellowstone (2018 – 2024)
ParamountYellowstone is the cornerstone of Taylor Sheridan’s career, premiering in 2018 and becoming the unlikely launchpad for a whole franchise. It primarily follows John Dutton (Kevin Costner), the patriarch of a powerful rancher family in Montana, and the drama that threatens to engulf them.
The final batch of Yellowstone episodes are due later this year and will wrap the main timeline up. However, the Dutton family tree has many branches, and there’s lots more to come from these cowboys, we’re sure.
Where to stream: Paramount+
The Last Cowboy (2019 – present)
Unlike Sheridan’s other work, The Last Cowboy is a reality series chronicling the elite western competition of horse reining. Sheridan rounds up eight men and women to show off their best skills on a horse, with a $1million prize up for grabs.

Mayor of Kingstown (2021 – present)
Paramount+Mayor of Kingstown, created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, first premiered in 2021. It stars Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, a former inmate of the titular Michigan town’s prison who becomes its unofficial “mayor”, brokering peace and deals between criminals and cops.
We are patiently waiting for Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 right now.
Where to stream: Paramount+
1883 (2021)
Paramount+1883 is the first of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequels, following the Dutton family as they migrate from Texas through the Great Plains to find a new life in Montana. Despite being one of his finest creations, we’ll never see 1883 Season 2, as this was always intended as a limited series.
Where to stream: Paramount+
Tulsa King (2022 – present)
Paramount+Tulsa King was created by Taylor Sheridan but that’s as far as his involvement goes on this one. The series follows Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi, a mafia capo who emerges from prison after a 25-year sentence and heads to Tulsa to build a new crew.
Where to stream: Paramount+
1923 (2022 – present)
Paramount+1923 is Taylor Sheridan’s second Yellowstone spinoff, catching up with the Duttons in the early 20th century. The show pits them against Western expansion, prohibition, and the Great Depression. The 1923 cast includes mega-stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
We are currently waiting on news of Yellowstone 1923 Season 2.
Where to stream: Paramount+
Special Ops: Lioness (2023 – present)
Paramount+Special Ops: Lioness is Taylor Sheridan’s most recent series, on which he serves as its creator and showrunner.
Said to be inspired by “an actual US Military program”, it “follows the life of Joe while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror.”
“The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade and Byron Westfield, enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.”
We are expecting news of a Lioness Season 2 soon, with rumors suggesting this will become an anthology series.

What else has Taylor Sheridan worked on?
Taylor Sheridan was an actor before kickstarting his creative path, playing a recurring role in Sons of Anarchy. He played Deputy Chief David Hale in the show, but he met a grisly end (as most characters in that series do).
Aside from playing random Yellowstone characters here and there, Sheridan has also appeared in movies like White Rush and 12 Strong. He’s also popped up in the Star Trek timeline for one episode of Enterprise, and had a recurring role in Veronica Mars.
He also had a big hand in bringing Lawmen: Bass Reeves to life as a producer. Though technically not connected to Yellowstone, it is similar, and we do hope to see a Bass Reeves Season 2 at some point.
What’s next for Taylor Sheridan?
Despite the main Yellowstone show coming to an end, there are plenty of spinoffs to keep Sheridan busy. He also has brand new, original shows in the pipeline, too.
ParamountThough we know very little about them, there are plans for Yellowstone 1944 and Yellowstone 2024. Then, there’s Yellowstone 6666, too, which’ll focus on the iconic ranch in Texas where Jimmy settles in Season 4 of Yellowstone.
Away from cowboys, Sheridan is working on a show called Landman. It’ll star Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, and Billy Bob Thornton. It remains to be seen just how involved Sheridan will be with this one, though he’s down as creator and executive producer at the moment.
