Taylor Sheridan’s Next TV Show Isn’t the Yellowstone Replacement You’re Looking For

yellow stone is (supposedly) ending after season 5, and while Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming series may seem like its perfect replacement, will probably not satisfy those seeking to fill the yellow stoneheart-shaped holes. The neo-Western drama TV show created by Sheridan and John Linson was Sheridan’s breakthrough, and since its debut in 2018, the filmmaker has created and produced six series for Paramount. Among them are two yellow stone spin-offs (1883 and 1923), Mayor of Kingstown, King of Tulsa, Special Operations: Lionessand Lawmen: Bass Reeves​​​​​​. Soon, Sheridan will be able to add Landman to this list.

Landmanbased on the 11-part book by Christian Wallace Growing city podcast, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a crisis executive at a West Texas oil company. Sheridan’s Upcoming Drama TV Show follows Thornton’s Tommy and the ever-changing landscape of the oil rig world, from those above to those on the ground on the aforementioned oil platforms. While Landman may sound and seem yellow stone From the outside, its trailer and everything else that is known about it suggests that the series will be very different from the neo-Western show previously fronted by Kevin Costner.

Why Landman is dubbed the next Yellowstone

Landman is set in West Texas

Since Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming TV show has the same neo-Western vibes as yellow stone (at least, based on the Landman trailer), many are calling it the next yellow stone​​​​​​. Landman it also appears to be a high-stakes drama with lots of different moving parts and opposing sides, and its cast is packed with prominent stars. Plus, it helps that the Billy Bob Thornton-led drama premieres a week later yellow stone release of season 5 part 2, making it easier to compare the two.

Perhaps at first glance, Sheridan Landman it seems like yellow stoneIt’s a perfect replacement, but it really couldn’t be more different. Yes, they are both intense dramas that revolve around power struggles. However, Landman follows a group of characters from contrasting lifestyles, all involved in the oil industry in present-day West Texas. The Upcoming Paramount+ TV Series explores how the oil industry impacts climate, economics and geopolitics. About that, yellow stone revolves around the Dutton family and their fight to maintain the Dutton Yellowstone Ranch and its power in the community.

Landman’s title suggests this is a person (Yellowstone is not)

Yellowstone follows the entire Dutton family

LandmanHis name suggests that his story focuses primarily on one person (Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris), while the heart of yellow stone it’s the Dutton family and their land in Montana. As a result, yellow stone has an ensemble cast, while Landman has a central protagonist. It could be argued that Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III is/was the only main character in the neo-Western drama. However, with Costner’s departure beginning in Season 5, Part 2, and considering yellow stoneStory-wise, the show arguably has more than one main character, from Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton to Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler.

Of course, LandmanThe cast contains many big names besides Thornton, such as Jon Hamm, Demi Moore and Ali Larter. But none of his characters are the “Landman” – Thornton’s Tommy is. So that’s another example of how Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Paramount TV series differs from yellow stone and how many shouldn’t wait Landman to be the perfect replacement for the popular and highly successful neo-Western drama.

Landman is more like Sheridan’s other shows than Yellowstone

Taylor Sheridan’s Upcoming Show Is Comparable to Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown

While many are busy comparing Landman to yellow stonethey should be comparing the series led by Billy Bob Thornton to two other Taylor Sheridan projects – King of Tulsa and Mayor of Kingstown. Both TV shows (which also air on Paramount+) also feature titular characters. In King of TulsaSylvester Stallone’s Dwight “The General” Manfredi is the “King of Tulsa”, and Jeremy Renner’s Mike McLusky is considered the mayor of Kingstown in their respective series.

More, King of Tulsa and Mayor of Kingstown has elements of suspense, which Landman also apparently contains. Ultimately, Landman It will hopefully cement its place in Sheridan’s impressive TV catalog and become its own separate story, incomparable to anything that came before it. About that, yellow stone fans shouldn’t wait Landman be a carbon copy of the original series, but they should have anticipated that it would include recognizable elements of Sheridan’s writing style.
