After Kevin Costner’s exit from Yellowstone, Paramount canceled the neo-Western drama, meaning season 5, part 2 serves as its ending. The series finale aired in December 2024. It didn’t receive the best reception as many thought Yellowstone‘s last episode was rushed, predictable, and underwhelming. Nevertheless, Yellowstone (at least, the original TV series) is over, and Sheridan must look ahead to his other projects, many of which have kept his name in the spotlight in the wake of the aforementioned finale.
Taylor Sheridan’s Streaming Success In 2024 Explained
Landman & Tulsa King Were Triumphant
Yellowstone season 5, part 2 wasn’t the only thing Taylor Sheridan worked on in 2024 — he also released new seasons of Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and Lioness, and debuted Landman. It’s safe to say that 2024 was a busy year for Sheridan. However, his hard work paid off as two of his TV series are among 2024’s top 10 most-watched original streaming shows.
Taylor Sheridan’s latest series Landman has a stellar and critically acclaimed opening season that is better than Yellowstone season 1 in 5 key ways.
Given that Landman broke records (its premiere was Paramount+’s biggest debut for an original series in two years), its placement on the list isn’t too surprising. Many tuned in every week to watch the talented Landman cast, which includes Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm. Meanwhile, Tulsa King‘s first season proved the show was a success. It also broke records for Paramount+ and pulled in millions of viewers, and season 2 was evidently no different.
Taylor Sheridan Has Multiple Shows That Could Run For Years
Sheridan’s Paramount+ Shows Have Great Potential
The good news for Taylor Sheridan is that he can easily recreate the success he had in 2024. Many of Sheridan’s TV shows, including Tulsa King, Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, and Lioness, could produce many more seasons. Landman isn’t going away anytime soon after its triumphant first season. The cast and crew will reportedly start filming Landman season 2 sometime in early 2025. Meanwhile, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and Lioness have demonstrated that they can support having multiple seasons.
Taylor Sheridan’s work outside the Yellowstone franchise is impressive, proving he doesn’t need it to succeed. That doesn’t mean he’ll abandon it, though.
What Does The Future Of Yellowstone Look Like?
Sheridan Has Several Yellowstone Spinoffs In The Works
Taylor Sheridan’s work outside the Yellowstone franchise is impressive, proving he doesn’t need it to succeed. That doesn’t mean he’ll abandon it, though.

The highly anticipated second season of 1923 premieres in February 2025, while four other Yellowstone series are in the works (with some having more concrete futures than others).

Adams, and Matthew Fox, is in the midst of filming and is expected to debut in 2025. Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler’s untitled Yellowstone sequel series is also in the works, likely continuing the couple’s story from where the finale left off.
