'Sheridan-verse' Expands: Taylor Sheridan and Paramount+'s Unstoppable Collaboration

Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Paramount Network's 'Yellowstone' and its spin-off '1883', is expanding his television empire on Paramount+. After the recent success of 'Mayor of Kingstown', led by Jeremy Renner and Dianne Wiest, Sheridan has set his sights on a multitude of new projects, as announced at the company's investor meeting.

Sheridan’s Growing Saga

The first to launch is '1932', a next-gen saga set to continue the Duttons' journey post-Yellowstone. "I chose that moment in time to peep back in because you're seeing the children in 1883 now attempting to raise another generation at a time when the Wild West is becoming a playground for the elite from the East," Sheridan said, hinting at the intriguing backdrop of his upcoming series.

On the Horizon: 'Bass Reeves' and 'Tulsa King'

Sheridan's new wave of programming also includes 'Bass Reeves', a show inspired by the legendary lawman and believed muse for 'The Lone Ranger'. Led by David Oyelowo, the series seeks to bring back to life an overlooked hero who was the first African-American marshal policing the Oklahoma territory. "To look at a character like him, who got white-washed out of history, I just can't wait to tell this story," Oyelowo shared in the announcement.

Production is also about to commence on 'Tulsa King', a mob drama featuring Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi, a New York mafioso building his empire in Tulsa after being exiled by his boss.

More Sheridan-verse Shows to Come

Adding to this exciting roster, Sheridan is also developing 'Land Man', a show exploring the world of oil rig billionaires in West Texas with Billy Bob Thornton at its helm, and 'Lioness', an espionage thriller starring Zoe Saldaña as a station chief of the CIA’s Lioness Program. "It's a deep dive into espionage," Sheridan revealed, further stirring anticipation for these series.

Sheridan's consistent collaboration with Paramount+ paints a vibrant picture of gripping narratives to come, creating what can be aptly termed the 'Sheridan-verse'. With a lineup of gritty dramas on the way, the 'Sheridan-verse' promises to keep audiences glued to their screens.
