I’ve got nothing against the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe or Taylor Sheridan’s various TV projects that are mostly available with a Paramount+ subscription, but I’ve been thinking about something lately. I recently went back and watched Wind River, and watching that gripping 2017 thriller sent me down a rabbit hole of Sheridan’s pre-Yellowstone work.
I really miss those days when Sheridan was writing (and directing in the case of Wind River) some of the best crime thrillers of the 2010s, projects that earned him all kinds of accolades, including an Oscar nomination for the harrowing Sicario. It’s no secret that the actor-turned-director is having unparalleled success with multiple shows on the 2025 TV schedule and beyond, but it’d be cool if he went back to his old days.
