Taylor Sheridan series remain a major part of Paramount+’s television lineup in 2026, with Lioness currently airing its third season and several other dramas set for future seasons. The latest developments also include the continued growth of the Yellowstone universe, the return of Marshals, new episodes and seasons across Sheridan’s shows, and the cancellation of the long-planned 6666 spinoff.
Sheridan has built one of television’s largest connected collections of dramas. His work now covers Westerns, crime stories, family dramas, military thrillers and contemporary American life.
The current lineup is especially busy because several projects are at different stages. Some have already completed recent seasons, while others are returning with new episodes or moving toward production.
Lioness Season 3 Is the Current Sheridan Series to Watch
Lioness is currently the most immediate Sheridan-related release for viewers in the United States.
The third season premiered on Paramount+ on August 2, 2026. New episodes are arriving weekly, giving fans a continuing story rather than a full-season release.
Zoe Saldaña remains central to the series as Joe. Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman also return, keeping the established leadership team connected to the latest chapter.
The show continues its focus on covert CIA operations and the personal costs associated with intelligence work. Its action-heavy approach separates it from Sheridan’s Western and family dramas.
Season 3 also reinforces the importance of Lioness within the broader Paramount+ lineup. The series has become one of Sheridan’s longest-running projects outside the Yellowstone universe.
As of August 21, three episodes of the third season have been released. The fourth episode is scheduled to arrive on August 23.
That makes Lioness the Sheridan production with the most immediate weekly viewing schedule at the moment.
The Madison Continues the Yellowstone Legacy in a New Way
The Madison has quickly become another major title in Sheridan’s current television lineup.
The drama premiered on Paramount+ in March 2026. Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell headline the cast, with the story following the Clyburn family after a devastating personal loss changes their lives.
Rather than continuing the Dutton family directly, the series creates a separate story in Montana. The setting still carries the Western atmosphere associated with Sheridan’s work, but the central conflict focuses more heavily on family relationships and grief.
The first season contains six episodes. Paramount+ released the episodes in two groups during March.
The series has already secured a significant future. A second season is confirmed, and the show has also been renewed for a third season.
Season 2 has completed filming, but Paramount+ has not announced its official premiere date.
That makes The Madison one of Sheridan’s clearest long-term projects. Viewers do not have to wonder whether the story will continue after the first season.
Marshals Brings Kayce Dutton Back to Television
The Yellowstone universe remains active through Marshals, which places Luke Grimes back in the role of Kayce Dutton.
The CBS drama follows Kayce after his time with the Yellowstone ranch. He becomes part of an elite U.S. Marshals unit and takes on cases across Montana.
The change in setting gives the character a new professional identity while preserving his connection to the original Yellowstone story.
The first season became one of the major television launches connected to Sheridan’s universe in 2026. It also attracted a large multiplatform audience and quickly received a second-season renewal.
Season 2 is scheduled to premiere October 4, 2026.
For Yellowstone fans, the show offers one of the clearest ways to continue following a major Dutton character without restarting the original ranch storyline.
Kayce’s experience, family history and military background remain important elements of the character. However, the format now gives him cases that can unfold beyond the boundaries of the Yellowstone ranch.
The second season therefore has an opportunity to establish Marshals as a continuing series rather than simply a short extension of the original franchise.
Dutton Ranch Keeps Beth and Rip’s Story Alive
Another important development is Dutton Ranch, the series centered on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser return to their well-known roles. The story moves the characters into Texas after their departure from the original Yellowstone setting.
The first season premiered in May 2026 and concluded in July. Its nine-episode run gave viewers a new chapter for two of the most recognizable characters from the original series.
The Texas setting changes the atmosphere while maintaining the themes of land, family, loyalty and conflict that have defined the larger franchise.
Beth and Rip are particularly important because their relationship became one of the most popular parts of Yellowstone. Giving them their own series allows the story to examine their lives away from the Montana ranch.
The show also demonstrates how Sheridan has approached the post-Yellowstone era. Instead of placing every character into one continuation, different parts of the original story can develop through separate series.
Landman Season 3 Remains Confirmed
Landman continues to be one of Sheridan’s strongest non-Western dramas.
The series stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, an executive working within the oil industry in West Texas. Demi Moore and Ali Larter are also among the major returning cast members.
The story explores the business, family and personal pressures surrounding the modern oil industry.
Its Texas setting gives Sheridan another opportunity to examine a region that appears frequently throughout his work. However, Landman is not a Dutton story and does not depend on the Yellowstone timeline.
The first season premiered in 2024. Season 2 followed in 2025.
Paramount+ has confirmed a third season.
A premiere date for Season 3 has not been announced. That means viewers can expect the story to continue, but there is currently no confirmed launch day to mark on the calendar.
The show’s continued renewal also confirms that Sheridan’s television output extends beyond the Western genre.
Tulsa King Season 4 Is Moving Forward
Tulsa King remains another established part of Sheridan’s Paramount+ lineup.
Sylvester Stallone stars as Dwight Manfredi, a New York mobster who builds a new criminal operation after arriving in Oklahoma.
The series combines organized crime with a fish-out-of-water setup. Dwight has to establish influence in a new environment while dealing with rivals, allies and threats from his past.
Three seasons have already aired.
Paramount+ has renewed the show for Season 4, and production has been completed. The fourth season does not yet have a formally announced premiere date.
Terence Winter is returning to the series in a major creative role after previously serving as showrunner.
The continued renewal gives Tulsa King a secure place among Sheridan’s ongoing crime dramas.
It also means Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi remains one of the most important characters in the Sheridan television universe outside the Yellowstone franchise.
Frisco King Expands the Tulsa King World
The future of the Tulsa King universe also includes Frisco King.
The project originally developed under a different concept before changing its title and setting. Samuel L. Jackson stars as Russell Lee Washington Jr., a criminal figure connected to the world established by Tulsa King.
The story is now based in Frisco, Texas.
Sheridan is writing all eight episodes of the first season, giving the project a direct creative connection to the creator’s current slate.
The series is designed as a new entry rather than another season of Tulsa King. That distinction matters because viewers will see a different central character and setting.
Jackson’s appearance in Tulsa King Season 3 helped establish the connection before the spinoff received its new direction.
There is currently no confirmed premiere date for Frisco King.
The 6666 Spinoff Has Been Canceled
One of the biggest recent changes involving Sheridan’s television plans concerns 6666.
The planned Yellowstone spinoff was originally announced as a series centered on the historic Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. Jefferson White’s Jimmy Hurdstrom was expected to remain connected to that setting after his storyline took him there in Yellowstone.
Sheridan has now confirmed that the series will not happen.
His decision centers on the fact that the Four Sixes is a real working ranch with real families and workers. Sheridan has said he does not want to invent fictional drama around people who actually live and work there.
The cancellation ends years of uncertainty surrounding the project.
The ranch remains an important part of Sheridan’s real-life interests and the broader visual world associated with his television work. However, there will not be a standalone 6666 series.
That also changes expectations for Jimmy’s future. His story remains part of the larger Yellowstone universe, but the planned Four Sixes series is no longer an option.
Mayor of Kingstown Remains a Completed Four-Season Drama
Mayor of Kingstown continues to be one of Sheridan’s most established crime dramas.
Jeremy Renner stars as Mike McLusky, a powerful figure in a Michigan community dominated by the prison system.
The series explores crime, corruption, family loyalty and the complicated relationships between inmates, law enforcement and local power brokers.
Season 4 premiered in 2025 and concluded later that year.
Four seasons are currently available.
There is no confirmed fifth-season release date at this time. For viewers looking for a completed recent Sheridan season rather than a weekly series, the fourth season provides the latest available chapter.
The show also occupies a distinct place within Sheridan’s portfolio. Unlike the rural Montana and Texas stories, Mayor of Kingstown focuses on an industrial Michigan community and the effects of incarceration on local life.
1883 and 1923 Complete the Historical Dutton Story
The Dutton timeline also includes two completed prequel series.
1883 follows the Dutton family during its journey west and establishes the origins of the family’s connection to the land that later becomes the Yellowstone ranch.
The limited series consists of 10 episodes.
1923 moves the story forward several decades. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren lead the series as Jacob and Cara Dutton.
The second season concluded in April 2025, bringing the series to its planned conclusion.
Neither show currently has another season confirmed.
Their importance remains clear, however. Together, 1883 and 1923 provide historical chapters that connect the Dutton family across generations.
They also show how Sheridan has used different time periods to build the larger franchise without relying solely on the modern-day story.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves Remains a Standalone Historical Drama
Lawmen: Bass Reeves occupies a different position within Sheridan’s television work.
The limited series stars David Oyelowo as Bass Reeves, a historic lawman who became one of the first Black deputy U.S. marshals west of the Mississippi River.
The eight-episode series premiered in 2023.
It tells a self-contained story and does not currently have a confirmed second season.
The project demonstrates Sheridan’s interest in American history outside the Dutton family. Its Western setting connects naturally with his broader body of work, but its story stands independently.
For viewers interested in the historical side of Sheridan’s television projects, the series remains one of the clearest examples.
What the Current Sheridan Lineup Looks Like
The current slate covers several different stages.
- Lioness — Season 3 is currently airing.
- The Madison — Season 2 and Season 3 are confirmed.
- Marshals — Season 2 premieres October 4, 2026.
- Dutton Ranch — First season completed.
- Landman — Season 3 confirmed.

- Mayor of Kingstown — Four seasons completed.
- 1883 — Completed limited series.
- 1923 — Completed after two seasons.
- Lawmen: Bass Reeves — Completed limited series.
- 6666 — Canceled.
This lineup shows how broad Sheridan’s television presence has become.
The most immediate title is Lioness, while Marshals has the next clearly scheduled return. The Madison, Landman and Tulsa King also have confirmed futures.
Meanwhile, Dutton Ranch has already established another branch of the Yellowstone universe.
The Sheridan Television Universe Is Still Growing
Sheridan’s television lineup has changed significantly since Yellowstone first became a major hit.
The original series created the foundation, but the current slate extends into espionage, organized crime, energy, family drama and law enforcement.
That variety is now one of the defining characteristics of his work.
The latest developments also show that the universe is not expanding in every direction. The cancellation of 6666 confirms that some previously announced concepts will not reach television.
At the same time, several existing projects have firm futures.
For U.S. viewers, the next major date is October 4, when Marshals returns for its second season. Before then, Lioness continues its weekly Season 3 schedule.
Beyond those episodes, The Madison, Landman, Tulsa King and Frisco King represent the next major pieces of Sheridan’s television slate.
As of August 21, 2026, the overall picture is clear: Sheridan’s television universe remains active, but it is evolving through multiple separate stories rather than relying on one central franchise.
