Taylor Sheridan continues to expand his television universe with fresh developments in the Yellowstone franchise and entirely new stories. Here’s the latest on Sheridan’s projects as of February 2026.
Yellowstone Spin-off: Y: Marshals Debuts March 1, 2026
Y: Marshals follows Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) as he becomes a U.S. Marshal in Montana. The series premieres on CBS on March 1, 2026, and will also stream next-day on Paramount+. Returning characters Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), Tate (Brecken Merrill), and Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) join Kayce, while the fate of Monica Dutton remains uncertain .
The Madison: A New, Intimate Frontier Premieres March 14, 2026
Sheridan’s new standalone neo-Western, The Madison, moves away from the Dutton saga. The plot centers on the Clyburn family—led by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell—as they relocate from New York City to Montana seeking healing after tragedy. The six-episode series debuts March 14, 2026, on Paramount+ and is already greenlit for Season 2 . Notably, Sheridan filmed two seasons back-to-back to accommodate Russell’s busy schedule .
Landman Season 2 in the Works, but Delayed
Sheridan’s oil-drama Landman earned acclaim in 2024, becoming one of Paramount+’s most-watched originals and earning Billy Bob Thornton a Golden Globe nod. Season 2 was slated to begin filming in early 2025, but production has been postponed. The delay stems from Sheridan’s packed schedule and involvement in multiple other projects .
6666 Spin-off: Still on Hold
Anticipation surrounds the Yellowstone spin-off 6666, set at the historic Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. Yet developer Jefferson White (Jimmy) recently revealed he’s heard no updates, leaving the project in limbo. Sheridan’s multi-billion dollar upcoming deal with NBCUniversal also clouds its future .
Other Sheridan Ventures: Expansion Beyond Yellowstone
Sheridan’s voice reaches far beyond the Yellowstone universe:
-
NOLA King: Spin-off of Tulsa King, set in New Orleans, starring Samuel L. Jackson. Slated to begin post-Sheridan’s Paramount deal ends in March 2026 .
-
The Road: A singing competition series on CBS in partnership with Blake Shelton and The Voice producer Lee Metzger .

- Multiple projects signal Sheridan’s versatility—from crime dramas to singing shows.
“This is such a different story… We are in Montana, but seen through a completely different lens… We share landscapes, but approach them from fresh vantage points.”
— Director on The Madison
