The first 7 episodes, according to The Wall Street Journal are meant to air as early as this summer, but that seems unlikely as production on these episodes have not reached any notable state of principal photography at this time. 

Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 

Perhaps further proof that Sheridan currently has the Midas touch, his first foray outside Montana family dramas also did quite well for Paramount+, pulling in 2.6 million viewers when it debuted. While it may not have been as undeniably massive as Yellowstone, when the first season had finished its run, Mayor of Kingstown had steady viewership, and it wasn’t long after its finale that Paramount confirmed a second season.

While nothing has been reported on the production status of the second season, one thing that does bode well for the show is Mayor was a collaborative effort of Sheridan’s. Co-star of the show, and famous son of Kingston, Ontario, Hugh Dillon, was responsible for many of the main story beats of the show, basing much of it off of growing up in a city whose identity is defined by the presence of a large scale penitentiary. This partnership could mean that while Sheridan is no doubt integral to the show, its production is not dependent on him, and can concurrently move forward, should he be working on one of his other projects. 

1883/1932

Before 1883’s inaugural season was finished, Paramount+ announced a new chapter in the Dutton family story with 1932. This newest chapter (or middle chapter, in terms of a linear timeline) will follow the story of a different generation of the Dutton family. However, the link between 1883 and 1932 remains a mystery. Originally, when Paramount ordered more 1883, fans assumed that meant a renewal, and therefore a completely new season. That wasn’t the case. Sheridan himself has said the show that era’s story is closed, yet Paramount has stated there is still more 1883 to come. Whether that means a made for TV film or a prologue to the new segment of the Dutton anthology remains to be seen. (Den of Geek wrote a full report on what the future might hold for 1883).

What we do know is that 1932 could be seen as the true origin story of the mountainous Montana empire the Duttons control in Yellowstone. It also makes perfect sense that we will see the second generation of the family, Spencer and John Dutton I who were both introduced as children in 1883 as the two kingpins of this future Dutton empire.

6666 

Sheridan took a lot of screen time away from the main cast of Yellowstone during season 4 to introduce the other projects within the universe. There were a series of flashbacks to give glimpses of the late 1800’s Duttons, and one of the major modern subplots of season 4 was that of cowhand Jimmy (Jefferson White) being sent to a Texas ranch to become a real, salt of the earth cowboy.

Sheridan is truly invested in this particular part of the Yellowstone universe (literally, in fact) as he recently became part owner of the real-life legendary Texas ranch. Paramount was excited to share a glimpse of the upcoming project, stating that “no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing … The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.” Sadly, this statement sounds more like a tourist pamphlet than it serves to reveal any details about the show.

While Jimmy did in fact become a real cowboy, and while the reborn ranch hand returned to the Yellowstone ranch with his new fiancee, Emily (Kathryn Kelly), it should be noted that Kelly was recently announced as a regular cast member for season 5 of the show. This strengthens the argument that audiences will not get a full season, or even standalone 6666 content until both Jimmy and Emily’s storylines within Yellowstone have reached an appropriate springing off point and foster a show of their own. At the very earliest, that could be the mid-season marker of season 5 of Yellowstone, but even that seems unlikely. 

Tulsa King

 Escaping the cowboy strewn wilderness, but not Sheridan’s hard-edged gritty story telling, Tulsa King features none other than Sylvester Stallone as an East Coast mobster who is ordered to relocate to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to pay a penance for past discretions and reestablish the mob’s presence in the city. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Stallone’s character, Dwight Manfredi, slowly builds a crew to help him establish a new empire. The series marks Stallone’s first starring television role, which continues the trend of Sheridan attracting major film stars to come into his television projects. 

David C. Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, (which produces many of Sheridan’s other projects), told Deadline, “Taylor is a prolific creator because of the multi-dimensional characters he creates and the complex worlds he builds. To be able to have the legendary, transcendent Sylvester playing one of these characters is truly a privilege.”
