Taylor Sheridan's TV Show Lineup: ‘Landman' Season 2, ‘1944', ‘Yellowstone' Spinoffs, And More
Over the past six months, Taylor Sheridan's hit Western dramas Yellowstone and its prequel series 1923 ended, much to fans' dismay. But rest assured, the Sheridan-verse is still going strong with 10 — count 'em, TEN! — new and returning series reportedly in the works from the hard-working creator. From hyped-up Yellowstone spinoffs designed to help keep the Dutton world and its beloved characters alive to highly-anticipated returning series including Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and Landman, Sheridan has a lot in store for fans — and a lot of work cut out for himself. If you're desperately searching for the next Sheridan show to add to your watch list, or are simply wondering if and when your favorite Sheridan series are returning with new episodes, Decider's got you covered. Below is your guide to Taylor Sheridan's new, returning, and potential TV shows in various stages of development in 2025 and beyond. While not every series has an official premiere date yet (or was even officially green lit — looking at you, Lioness Season 3), we've listed the plots, casts, filming updates, and more information on Sheridan's upcoming television lineup on Paramount+ and elsewhere. So giddy up, get reading, and get watching! Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Mayor of Kingstown is as follows: 'Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family – power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.' Season 4 Premiere Date: October 2025 Cast, Season 4 Filming Updates, And More: In December 2024, Paramount+ renewed Mayor of Kingstown for a fourth season, which means the crime drama about America's prison system, co-created by Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, will return. On top of Jeremy Renner, Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, Nichole Galicia, and more, Season 4 will reportedly welcome Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie), Lennie James (The Walking Dead), and Laura Benanti (Younger, No Hard Feelings) to the cast. Per Variety, Falco will play Nina Hobbs, Anchor Bay's new prison warden. James is set to portray Frank Moses, 'described as 'a legendary gangster respected in the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan, and well beyond.'' And Benanti will star as Cindy Stephens, a new Kingstown correctional officer. Per Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, Kingstown is set to return in October 2025. Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Tulsa King is as follows: 'Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight 'The General' Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a 'crew' from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.' Season 3 Premiere Date: September 2025 Cast, Season 3 Filming Updates, And More: On March 18, Paramount+ confirmed that production on Season 3 was officially underway in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Jim McKay directing the season premiere. Since then, several new cast members have been announced. In addition to Stallone, Jay Will, Max Casella, Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, and more, Robert Patrick (1923) is joining Season 3 as Jeremiah Dunmire, 'a powerful, forceful man with deep pockets in the liquor business.' Beau Knapp (Seal Team) will play Cole Dunmire, 'Jeremiah's (Patrick) son and a trust fund country boy with crazy in his eyes.' Bella Heathcote (Pieces of Her) is also joining the third season as series regular Cleo Montague, 'a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner.' And James Russo is coming onboard in a recurring role as New York mob boss Quiet Ray Renzetti. Paramount+ also announced that Chris Caldovino (The Sopranos), McKenna Quigley Harrington (Susie Searches) and Mike 'Cash Flo' Walden were upped to series regulars for Season 3. And one of the most exciting casting announcements is the addition of Kevin Pollak in a series regular role of Special Agent Musso, 'an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.' Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Landman is as follows: 'Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown, Landman is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. The series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it's reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.' Season 2 Premiere Date: November 2025 Cast, Season 2 Filming Updates, And More: The debut season of Sheridan and Christian Wallace's Texas drama aired its finale on January 12, 2025. But fear not, Landman fans. Season 2 already started filming in Texas and is expected to premiere this fall. In addition to Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and more, Landman Season 2 will also welcome Oscar nominee and 1883 star Sam Elliott as a series regular. Yee haw! Plot: Per a press release from Paramount, the early synopsis for The Madison is as follows: 'The series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.' Premiere Date: Early 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Sheridan fans who are missing the Duttons should get excited about The Madison, the next installment in the Yellowstone universe, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Zegers, Danielle Vasinova, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Matthew Fox, and more. According to Deadline, the series is aiming for a 2025 premiere date, so stay tuned for more updates. Plot: Per a press release from CBS, the early synopsis for Y: Marshals (described as a working title) is as follows: 'Y: Marshals stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.' Premiere Date: Midseason 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: The Kayce Dutton-centric Yellowstone spinoff was announced on May 7 and will air on CBS Sundays from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET when it premieres in 2026. While additional cast members and Yellowstone ties remain unknown at this time, CBS has revealed Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team) will serve as showrunner. Plot: An official synopsis for Dutton Ranch (official title TBC) has yet to be released, but Yellowstone fans know this series as the Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) spinoff they've been waiting for. The series will likely follow the lives of the two core characters of Sheridan's beloved Western drama after the Yellowstone finale, which aired in December 2024. As Decider noted, 'Beth plans to stay in the ranching business with Rip and Carter (Finn Little). She finds a place with a 'little house, big barn' sitting on top of '7,000 acres deeded, another 20 in a BLM lease,' 40 miles west of Dillon, Montana where no tourists or developers lurk. While Rip agrees he could make 'something like this work,' he says 'not gonna get rich, but you can pay the bills.' Beth replies, 'You let me worry about the rich part.' With her observing the businesses of the 6666 and Bosque Ranch, we have no doubt she will quickly build a new dynasty for her, Rip and Carter to oversee.' Premiere Date: November 2025 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, the highly-anticipated Yellowstone spinoff will arrive in Q4 of 2025 along with Landman. While Paramount has yet to release official details surrounding the series, Reilly confirmed a Beth/Rip spinoff was coming back in 2024. So stay tuned to see if any other Yellowstone favorites return. Plot: Among Sheridan's new Yellowstone-related series comes another prequel. While 1883 ended in 2022 and 1923 ended in April 2025, 1944 is on the horizon, which Decider notes, 'will follow the next generation of Duttons during the height of World War II and will reveal how the political and economic circumstances will affect them and the ranch.' Premiere Date: 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While an official 1944 cast has yet to be announced, fans have considered the possibility that 1923 stars like Brandon Sklenar (Spencer Dutton) and Michelle Randolph (Elizabeth Stafford) could return as their character's older selves to continue the story. In an interview with Decider, Sklenar also explained 'we'll have to wait until 1944 to confirm that' Spencer and Alex's (Julia Schlaepfer) son becomes John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) father. So here's hoping the series gives 1923 fans all the answers they seek. According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, 1944 is expected to premiere later in 2026 after Y: Marshals. Plot: Per Paramount+, 'Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program and follows a Marine recruited to befriend the daughter of a terrorist to bring the organization down from within… In Season 2, as the CIA's fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Zoe Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman), and Byron (Michael Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat. With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe is forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she has made as the leader of the Lioness program.' Season 3 Premiere Date: TBA Season 3 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Lioness fans know that despitethe positive reception Season 2 received (including a 90% certified fresh Tomatometer score), Sheridan's espionage thriller has yet to officially be renewed for a Season 3 after its Season 2 finale premiered on December 8, 2024. That said, Paramount+ has yet to cancel the original series either, and since we know the streaming service loves Sheridan shows, there's still hope for continuation. Plot: Sheridan knows no limits when it comes to the entertainment industry, so in a twist, his upcoming projects aren't all scripted TV series. Sheridan, Blake Shelton, David Glasser, Lee Metzger, and Keith Urban have a new singing competition coming to CBS. Per the network: 'The Road follows Grammy Award winner Urban, who also serves as the headlining superstar for the series, on his journey to discover the next big artist alongside Grammy Award winner Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the 'tour manager.' The docu-follow format trails a group of emerging musicians (TBA) as they open for Urban at music venues across America, competing to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour. In the end, only one will walk away with the ultimate prize. The Road offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.' Premiere Date: Sundays at 9:00 PM starting fall 2025 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Viewers will learn more about The Road's 12 Season 1 musicians as the series airs, but per The Road's teaser trailer, the performances have already been filmed at Urban concerts in Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Plot: Longtime Sheridan fans know this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning 6666, the Yellowstone spinoff that wasn't (yet!), but that may still come together one day. Per TV Insider, when the spinoff was first announced in February 2021, Paramount+'s description was as follows: 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing … The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.' Premiere Date: TBA Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While the Yellowstone offshoot 6666 was put on hold, it was expected to center on the Four Sixes ranch in Texas, where Jefferson White's character Jimmy went to work during the original series. While a cast wasn't announced in 2021, there's potential for White and other Yellowstone stars (including Sheridan!) to return down the line if the creator revisits the story. For those who don't know, the 6666 ranch is a real place near Guthrie, Texas, currently owned by Sheridan himself. So the possibility of shooting there in the future certainly remains. Until then, Decider will keep you posted on more updates in the Sheridan-verse.

Pittsburgh Film Office gives reviews of suggested movie tariffs
The reviews are pouring in on the plan President Donald Trump pitched to put 100 percent tariffs on films made outside the United States. No final decisions have been made, but reaction from film industry leaders has been rolling in. "There's a lot more production leaving the country than there used to be," said Dawn Keezer, the executive director of the Pittsburgh Film Office. She said the discussion around potential movie tariffs is putting the film industry in the spotlight and spreading the word about how something needs to be done to bring more production back home. "My first reaction was, wow, this is great. It's going to make everybody come home, right? It's really going to fix it. But look, who knows what all the rules are really going to mean?" Keezer said. "I personally believe that it's a lot easier to incentivize versus punish. And I would love to see it as more of what we can do to encourage work in this country, and I really worry about Southwestern Pa.," she added. Pittsburgh has long been known for its role in the film industry. "We've had over 250 film and TV projects filmed here since 1995," Keezer said. "We played home to 'Batman.' We played home to 'Jack Reacher.' We've had Tom Hanks here twice. We've had Christian Bale here three times." Keezer said 2024 was a slow year for the Pittsburgh area, but they've hit the ground running in 2025. "'Mayor of Kingstown' is here. They're wrapping up season four here in about another four to six weeks or so. And we're hoping they come back for season five and six, seven, eight, however many more we can get. We're getting ready to start production on the feature film 'Hershey,' which, of course, is great. Pennsylvania history, all about how the Hershey Company got started. We've got another feature coming very quickly and a potential TV series," she said. Keezer said they're not typically competing on a global scale, but they lose work to Canada all the time, like CBS' show "Watson," which came to Pittsburgh for four days to get establishing shots. "That show was written by a Pittsburgher, Craig Sweeney. It was set in Pittsburgh. And they're filming in Vancouver, and they're filming because it's a $16 million difference between filming in Vancouver, Canada, and filming here," she said. The White House said no final decisions have been made about the film tariffs. And how those would work is not even in the script yet. The president plans to meet with industry leaders to hash out a plan. "I'm actually going to meet with some because, you know, there's some advantages, I guess. And I'm not looking to hurt the industry. I want to help the industry," President Trump told reporters this week. "What I think President Trump was very successful in doing is igniting a much-needed conversation about the state of our film, television, streaming industry on a global scale. People forget that this is really a business," Keezer said. "What we can look at is the fact that something needs to be done. So, come up with a plan to be able to encourage the production to come back might be the plan. And maybe that's a tariff. But until you actually see all the details of something, how would you even know?" she added. While industry leaders wait for more answers from the White House, Keezer hopes state lawmakers raise Pennsylvania's film tax credit program from $100 million a year to $300 million. She believes adding a federal incentive to the states' tax incentives would encourage people to keep production in the U.S. She also mentioned how other countries have federal film offices and the U.S. does not.
