Taylor Sheridan fans have had a lot of TV shows to watch this year, some connected to Yellowstone and others not, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon. Sheridan brought back Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly to play Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton in the first season of Dutton Ranch, and after crushing viewership expectations, Paramount officially renewed the show for Season 2. Sheridan is also writing the script for his first movie in over five years, though it won’t be until next May when F.A.S.T. hits theaters around the world. He’s also been enlisted to write the script for the Call of Duty movie Paramount is bringing to theaters in 2028, but details about the film are being kept under wraps for now. Peter Berg has been tapped to direct the film, but no cast members have been announced.
In addition to Dutton Ranch, Taylor Sheridan also expanded the Yellowstone universe via the new sequel series, Marshals, which stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. The first season of Marshals dropped earlier this year on CBS with new episodes streaming the next day on Paramount Plus. CBS renewed the show for Season 2, and after an explosive premiere less than a week ago, Marshals Season 2 is now officially off and running. Grimes was in the shadow of Kevin Costner in the original Yellowstone series, but Marshals allows him to step into the spotlight as a leading figure and tell a new story all his own. During a recent interview with USA Today to chat about Marshals Season 2, when Grimes was asked how he felt about a reunion with Costner’s John Dutton on-screen, he expressed both doubt and intrigue at the same time:
“I think it would be cool [to have him come back]. I doubt that will happen at this point. I don’t know. If there was a flashback, I’d probably rather it be with Monica than John. I think that would be more poignant to the character. But we’ll see. There’s been no conversation, but we’ll see.”
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.

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

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.
Do People Like ‘Marshals’ Season 2?
So far, critics and fans seem to like Marshals Season 2 more than they did Season 1, but there’s still plenty of time for the tables to turn. Fans had a tough time adjusting to the first season of Marshals, which was largely due to it being the first-ever Sheridan-produced show to air on network TV and not straight to Paramount+. The common consensus was that the “episode of the week” style used by most network shows didn’t fit the style fans had become accustomed to with Sheridan’s original sweeping Western epic.
Check out the first season of Marshals on Paramount+ and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Season 2 on CBS.
