I like Yellowstone, but Taylor Sheridan needs to calm down or he's going to spread himself too thin.

Damn they're cranking these prequels out. 1883 premiered last December and 1923 started filming in August.

Looking forward to seeing Harrison Ford in a Taylor Sheridan show

He already has. The last season of Yellowstone had alot of shark jumping, and his Angelina Jolie movie was very unmemorable. I'd like to see him pull back a bit and get back to the Sicario/Hell or High Water/Wind River level of writing he's capable of.

Your mistake is thinking that the last season was supposed to be a TV show. He bought the 6's ranch and the show has basically turned into an advertisement for the ranch and that style of horse riding in general. Those montages of horses quickly stopping and spinning in place got old real fast.

*he co-owns the ranch with a group of investors.

Have we even seen a trailer for this yet? I feel like it just started filming.

I am looking forward to this. I still haven't finished Yellowstone, just been dabbling with it on Peacock. But I loved 1883 and was disappointed we didn't see the formation of the ranch. I am guessing we will see the younger son be the one to start the ranch, naming it after his sister. With it only being 30 years later we could still get a cameo by Tim McGraw or Faith Hill to connect the shows.

That makes a lot of sense because that shit is completely terrible and I couldn't even finish last season.

write story > put people on horsey > use mountain as backdrop

And the show he did with Jeremy Renner was such a fucking dud.

It's pretty impressive the stars this franchise has been able to wrangle. Costner, Ford, Mirren, fucking Tom Hanks (albeit in a brief cameo).

There's a Bass Reeves spinoff with David Oyelowo coming up too IIRC.

god how many times will they almost lose the ranch

Was it not good? I was thinking of giving it a go

Just watched and finished it a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was great minus a few flaws. Not the greatest thing in the world but I thought it was worth my time, unlike many shows on streaming services. At least give it a try if you're into crime (like The Wire, Sopranos etc). It's getting a second season as well so it must have at least met expectations from the Paramount higher ups.

Sounds like something I'd be into, I'll probably start it this weekend.

Sheridan's the Clint Eastwood of television.

To clarify, actors love working with Clint on films which he directs because he's known for doing scenes in a single take (or two) and moving on. Studios love it too because it's cheaper.

They're doing a spinoff on the 6's ranch, featuring Jimmy. I really wouldn't have minded something like a backdoor pilot, but it felt most of last season of Yellowstone was just to promote the spinoff. I like Jimmy, but it was so annoying and made it hard to watch.

I don't think that's happening anytime soon. TV is way too lucrative for him to go back to movies, as much as I'd love to see that happen.

I know Agent gave a good recommendation, I just wanted to second him. It's really good. I found the premise going in initially confusing, I wasn't sure what was going on, but it makes sense very quickly and keeps getting better. The penultimate episode (and the finale too) is insane.

>The last season of Yellowstone had alot of shark jumping

It was promoting his other shows a bit too much tbh.

Nope. And same, I was surprised it's coming out so soon!

In the previous prequel, the ranch didn't even exist yet... I believe they'll be building it in this next prequel.

And it's been a while since I watched the original Yellowstone, but wasn't the ranch almost lost a grand total of once?

His character is Jacob Dutton?! Who is Jacob Dutton?!

Probably on Thanksgiving!

Should I be watching Yellowstone? What's it comparable to?

Is this the one with Ford and Mirren?

I reckon

Allegedly Taylor Sheridan doesn't even write them. He hires ghostwriters.

I would have imagined he needs a team of writers to support that output, but it's pretty shitty if he claims he's doing it all on his own.

James Dutton's brother, apparently

It isn't at all. It is redundent as hell, I don't know how many times we saw Renner have a meeting with this drug dealer in his front yard. There was this entire storyline involving the love interest that was just so fucking pointless.

Over all it was 3 episodes of typical low life shit dragged out over way too many episodes.

I don't think the WGA would allow that

Gotcha. It's weird, I want to give all Sheridan stuff a go because I absolutely love his movies.

But Yellowstone was....ridiculous honestly. The son has like 10 once in a lifetime things happen to him in the first season alone. I couldn't get to the second season.
