Sheridan’s return to film follows the conclusion of the flagship Yellowstone series, which ended in late 2024 after five seasons. His most recent screenwriting credits were the 2021 thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead, starring Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Jon Bernthal, Medina Senghore, Aidan Gillen, and Yellowstone actor Finn Little, and Tom Clancy‘sWithout Remorse, led by Michael B. Jordan. Both films were released while Yellowstone was at the height of its popularity.
Now, Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions banner, alongside 101 Studios, the studio behind Yellowstone and many of his television projects, announced yesterday that they have acquired the rights to two gripping titles. From The Brutalist producer Andrew Lauren, the films have been in development for years and were first conceived long before Yellowstone became a global phenomenon. The films are original concepts by Lauren, written by Sheridan, and will be produced by Bosque Ranch Productions, 101 Studios, and Lauren himself.
Collider Exclusive · Taylor Sheridan Universe Quiz Which Taylor Sheridan Show Do You Belong In? Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown
Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

⚖️Mayor of Kingstown
01
Where does your power come from? In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.
02
Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.
03
Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.
04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.
05
How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.
06
What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.
07
How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.
08
Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.
09
What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.
10
When it’s over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.
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.
🤠 Yellowstone
🛢️ Landman
👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
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’s Next for Taylor Sheridan?
Titled Visalia and Capture the Flag, the two films do not yet have release dates. But in the meantime, we have details about what’s to come. In Visalia, we see a determined young Cuban woman who escapes the only life she has ever known, risking everything as she crosses dangerous waters in pursuit of freedom in America. But after a historic political shift draws her back to Cuba, she must confront the uncertain promises of a transformed homeland and the personal cost of everything she sacrificed to survive.
Capture the Flag, on the other hand, centers on a brilliant NASA engineer racing to build the first reusable spacecraft capable of traveling to the Moon and back. When a powerful tech billionaire offers him the opportunity to make history, he is forced to navigate increasingly difficult moral compromises as ambition, loyalty, and ethics collide. Speaking about the projects, Lauren said:
“These two projects have been years in the making — ideas I believed in deeply, never anticipating that advances in science and shifts in the political landscape would accelerate their path to realization. I worked on developing them with Taylor long before his emergence as one of the industry’s most distinctive, visionary voices. It’s incredibly rewarding to see his continued passion and commitment to bringing these stories to the screen.”
Stay tuned to Collider for further updates about Sheridan’s next projects.
