- This includes several stand-alone TV series and multiple “Yellowstone” spinoffs.
Thanks to Hollywood’s busiest cowboy, Taylor Sheridan, there’s now a whole herd of spinoffs from the Sheridan universe ready to stampede onto your watchlist.
Since moving away from acting, Sheridan, 55, has become one of the most prolific screenwriters in Hollywood. After writing feature films like “Sicario” and “Hell or High Water,” which earned him an Oscar nomination, and directing “Wind River,” he transitioned to TV, where he’s put Paramount+ on the map not just with “Yellowstone” and spinoffs “1883” and “1923” but “Tulsa King” and the hit Billy Bob Thornton-starrer “Landman.”
In October, Sheridan reportedly made a move that shocked Hollywood, as Puck revealed that Sheridan is taking his TV talents to NBCUniversal after his contract with Paramount expires in 2028. (His feature film deal with Paramount ends in March, so expect Sheridan movies to hit Universal sooner than his TV work).
Here’s what we know about all the projects he’s working on and where they stand.

1. ‘Y: Marshals’
CBS announced in May that Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton in a “Yellowstone” spinoff titled “Y: Marshals.”
Per its logline, “Y: Marshals” will see the character join an “elite unit of US Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana.”
Sheridan will executive produce the drama alongside Grimes.
It’s set to premiere in spring 2026.
2. ‘The Madison’
While announcing that “Yellowstone” would be drawing to a close in 2023, Paramount bosses promised “expansions of this incredible world” that Sheridan had built.
In February 2024, Puck reported that Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer were in negotiations to lead the cast of a present-day continuation titled “2024.”
In August 2024, it was announced that Pfieffer will star in and executive produce the new series, which has been renamed “The Madison.”
Sheridan will write the series, which is set to follow a family of New York City natives who live in the Madison River valley of central Montana.
Per Paramount Network, “the series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection.”
Chris McCarthy, the co-CEO of Paramount Global, said of Pfieffer’s casting: “She is the perfect anchor to the newest chapter of the ‘Yellowstone’ universe, ‘The Madison,’ from the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan.”
As of 2025, McConaughey has not officially been cast in the series.
