Taylor Sheridan might just fancy himself as the new lord of the TV realm with the amount of commercial and critical success that he has been having. Over the course of the past 9 years alone, the filmmaker has earned more renown and acclaim than most do in their lifetime. Brilliant characters, sharp dialogue, and immaculate storyline to tie it all together – Sheridan nails it every time.
While Hollywood strives after their tried-and-established formulaic recipe for success, Taylor Sheridan carves out a niche for himself that has remained untouched and unfiltered by those who came before him. The stories that Sheridan wants to tell are so intrinsic to the American way of life that they can almost be considered mundane.
And yet, the scriptwriter finds a way to craft the most humane and gut-wrenching tales from these socially relevant issues that haunt the country constantly.
Taylor Sheridan – the King Midas of Television
After a grueling transition from acting to scriptwriting,Taylor Sheridanwas an unstoppable beast brimming with creative energy that had no stopcock on it. In hindsight, the aspiring actor getting the boot from FX’sSons of Anarchymight just be the best thing that ever happened to Hollywood in the past decade.
In 2015, a year after his exit fromSons of Anarchy, Sheridan’s script forSicariowas turned into a brilliant film unmatched in grit and realism by Denis Villeneuve. In 2016, Sheridan earned his first Oscar nomination for the script ofHell or High Water. In 2017, he debuted as a writer-director with the critically acclaimed film,Wind Riverwhich ironically served as the last film distributed by The Weinstein Company (Sheridan later took back the rightsto the film from Weinstein).
In 2018, Sheridan began his dominion over television, beginning with the neo-Western epic,Yellowstone. The series singlehandedly revived a lost way of lifestyle, lifted Paramount+ off the ground, broughtKevin Costnerto the forefront of the industry once more, and began a renaissance of the Westerns.
