5 Taylor Sheridan Movies You Should Watch After Yellowstone

Taylor Sheridan ’s first series that turned out to be his biggest hit yet, Yellowstone isn’t off the screen despite having already had its finale released in December. The neo-Western drama lives on as its writer-director keeps working on multiple spinoffs, with shows like 1883 and 1923 already out and two more in development.

However, Sheridan’s grand TV legacy, which also comprises other widely acclaimed series like Landman and Lioness, is often what keeps his cinematic projects in the shadows, despite those being a perfect addition to his own Western-y universe.

If you’re already done with Yellowstone and can’t have enough of 1923’s second and final season, these Taylor Sheridan-directed or written movies might become your next perfect watch to fill the void with.

Finestkind (2023)

Sheridan’s latest movie to-date, Finestkind stars Ben Foster and Toby Wallace as two brothers separated for years, but then reunited during the summer that will change their lives forever.

Colliding the characters with a criminal gang that will soon lure them into joining the evil force, Sheridan explores complex relationships within one family. This is what makes the film connect to Yellowstone where practically everything revolves around the Dutton family’s story.

Sicario (2015)

Directed by Dune ’s Denis Villeneuve, Sicario was written by Sheridan in an attempt to reflect on the themes of good, bad and justice, which is also what he does in his own ongoing shows.

Starring Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin, the movie follows FBI Agent Kate Macer tasked with a mission to negotiate with a Mexican drug cartel’s ruthless leader, drawing parallels with Yellowstone in its intention to plant some major crime conspiracies into the storyline.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

Based on Michael Koryta’s 2014 novel of the same name, Those Who Wish Me Dead is one of Sheridan’s best movies that often goes overlooked.

The film stars Angelina Jolie as a smokejumper trying to save a little boy targeted by criminals and, just like Yellowstone, delves into themes of morality and sacrifice as it sees characters doing the best they can to protect each other.

Additionally, fans of Taylor Sheridan’s action-packed projects will be delighted to see conspiracies playing a key role for yet another time here.

Wind River (2017)

Led by powerful performances from Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen, Wind River is the first ever movie Sheridan wrote and then directed himself, which is a solid proof of his talent for creating all sorts of stories unfolding in the Western landscape.

The movie follows Cory Lambert, a wildlife officer, and Jane Banner, an FBI agent, as they both try to uncover the obscure truth behind the murder of a woman on an American Indian reservation.

Once they dive deeper into their investigation, it turns out the danger is still around, and this time they both might become victims too.

Hell Or High Water (2016)

Directed by David Mackenzie, Hell Or High Water is still a legacy belonging to Taylor Sheridan who, despite not being on board as a director, wrote the script for the movie.

Hell Or High Water primarily follows two brothers embarking on a mission to carry out a series of robberies after they learn their family ranch might be taken away from them forever.

Starring Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster, the film is probably the closest Sheridan could get to Yellowstone, making the story revolve around the Wild West’s lawlessness and complex family bonds.
