Summary
Taylor Sheridan’sYellowstoneis sadly coming to an end in late 2024, but the good news is that various spinoffs are in the works, even thoughthe most exciting replacement show coming from Sheridan has nothing to do with the (formerly) Kevin Costner-led series.The Paramount Network neo-Western drama TV series, created by Sheridan and John Linson, premiered in June 2018, and the show has only grown in popularity over the seasons. Nevertheless,Yellowstonewill end with season 5 following Costner’s exit as John Duttonfrom the series.
Kevin Costner reportedly leftYellowstonebecause of behind-the-scenes drama related to his contract and scheduling conflicts.
The Paramount Network splitYellowstoneseason 5 into two parts, with the first one’s finale airing in January 2023. Meanwhile,Yellowstoneseason 5, part 2’s release datewill come almost two years later, in November 2024. The delay between the two halves of the season was due to the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and Costner’s sudden exit. Nevertheless,fans will soon have to say goodbye toYellowstone.But they will have multiple replacement shows to look forward to, including a new drama from Sheridan calledLandman.
What Is Landman About? Taylor Sheridan’s New Western Explained
Landman Revolves Around The Oil Industry In West Texas

The cast of Sheridan’sLandmanfeatures big names like Billy Bob Thornton as an oil company’s crisis executive, Jon Hamm as an oil industry titan, and Demi Moore as Hamm’s character’s wife. Thankfully, those who lovedYellowstoneand want to watch more of Sheridan’s work don’t have to wait long for his upcoming show.Landman’s release dateis set for Sunday, November 17(one week afterYellowstoneseason 5, part 2’s premiere), on Paramount+. Its first season will consist of 10 episodes, presumably airing weekly.
Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone Replacement Chances Look Dead After $100 Million Gamble Backfires
Costner’s new film Horizon: An American Saga is another Western, but its performance doesn’t live up to the success of Yellowstone.
Why Landman Is More Exciting Than A Yellowstone Sequel
A Yellowstone Sequel Series Featuring Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, & Luke Grimes Is Reportedly In The Works
Landmanwill share some similarities withYellowstoneas they both come from the mind of Taylor Sheridan and are neo-Westerns. However,the Paramount+ series isn’t tied to the Duttons, giving it the freedom to develop its own storywithout being obligated to connect to Kevin Costner’s show.Meanwhile,theYellowstonesequel series, reportedly featuring the return of Cole Hauser as Rip, Kelly Reilly as Beth, and Luke Grimes as Kayce, must convince the audience that it’s more than justYellowstoneseason 6 without Costner.
The first images ofLandmanare also promising as they tease an intriguing group of characters and an original conflict-driven story set in the demanding oil industry. Hopefully, the show lives up to expectations andSheridan can create something that can replaceYellowstonewhile still being its own series.Of course, many should also be looking forward to theYellowstonesequel, butLandmanis undoubtedly more exciting.
Lawman’s Cast Continues A Big Taylor Sheridan Trend
The Upcoming Oil Rig Drama Contains Big Names
Taylor Sheridan seemingly pulls out all the stops for his TV shows regarding his cast, andLandmanis no different. Similar to his past projects, the upcoming drama series features an all-star cast, including Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, Demi Moore as Cami, and Jon Hamm as Monty Miller. Most notably,theLawmancast contains actors who were big in the 1980s/1990s(Thornton and Moore, as Hamm’s breakout role came inMad Menin the 2000s), which continues a trend from Sheridan’s other TV shows.
The success ofYellowstonehas done wonders for [Taylor] Sheridan as it seems he will be booked and busy for many years to come.

Meanwhile,Mayor of Kingstownhad Dianne Wiest,1883featured Sam Elliot,Tulsa Kingstars Sylvester Stallone,the cast of1923is led by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren,Special Ops: Lionesshas Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman, andLawman: Bass Reevesfeatured Donald Sutherland and Dennis Quaid. Now, Sheridan is continuing his record of casting famous 1980s/1990s actors and actresses in his TV series with Thornton and Moore inLandman.All these stars fit the Western, crime, and drama genres very well,and they appeal to older audiences, resulting in the shows' success.
