Taylor Sheridan has quickly become one of American television's most prolific creators, and the back half of 2024 will be huge for some of his most popular prestige dramas. While he began his career as a TV actor in 1995, Sheridan has emerged as a respected writer, producer, and director over the last decade. Several of his screenplays have been nominated for some of American cinema's most prestigious awards, including Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River. Recently though, he's left a greater mark as a TV creator, and that trend should continue with Sheridan's projects.

Sheridan's specialty is crime drama, centered around protagonists who often operate outside the law to advance and protect their loved ones. Moral ambiguity and the subversion of traditional genre tropes are Sheridan's hallmarks, and his strong character writing and dramatic narratives have led to widespread acclaim for his current shows. His hold over American prestige drama will strengthen in the back half of 2024, as some of Sheridan's most popular shows are all set to debut new seasons in the coming months.

3 Huge Taylor Sheridan TV Shows Are Returning In The Next Six Months

Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King and Yellowstone are all set to return in 2024

Three of Sheridan's highest-profile shows are all set to return in 2024. Sheridan has been able to attract major Hollywood stars to TV, and his three returning projects feature some of the biggest names to ever make the jump from the silver screen to prestige TV drama. Mayor of Kingstown, starring MCU stalwart Jeremy Renner, is set to return June 2nd, 2024 for its third season. Tulsa King, which stars the legendary Sylvester Stallone as a displaced New York City Mafia capo, does not have a set release date yet but is expected to return in October 2024.

Finally, the second half of the fifth and final season of Yellowstone is expected on November 10th, 2024. The first 4.5 seasons starred Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner as the patriarch of the Dutton family and owner of the eponymous Yellowstone ranch, although the capacity of Costner's involvement in the final half-season is still unknown. All three shows have been smash hits as far as streaming numbers are concerned, and while critical response has been mixed, the audience scores of all three shows are outstanding.

Taylor Sheridan Is One Of The Biggest Names In TV Right Now

He is involved with the production of at least 7 TV shows/movies

In addition to the three massive shows releasing new seasons in 2024, Sheridan has several projects in the pipeline. Sheridan's ever-expanding Yellowstone universe currently has four different spinoff shows currently in the works (including the second season of 1923) on its own, and that doesn't include the potential follow-up to Lawmen: Bass Reeves, which is at least Yellowstone-adjacent if not an actual spinoff. Sheridan is churning out series regularly, and the volume of work has not compromised the quality of any so far.

The staggering number of shows is even more impressive considering that Sheridan has a major motion picture in the works as well. Sheridan is set to write, direct, and produce Empire of the Summer Moon, the feature-length adaptation of the sprawling historical of the rise and fall of the Comanche tribe during the time of the Old West. Simply put, Taylor Sheridan is one of the most important names in drama at the moment.

Which 2024 Taylor Sheridan TV Show Is The Most Exciting

The drama surrounding the conclusion of Yellowstone makes it the most exciting

Yellowstone is the most hotly-anticipated of Sheridan's three returning dramas in 2024 simply due to the fact that the show is coming to its conclusion. With just a half-season to wrap the entire Yellowstone narrative, every second of the back half of season 5 will be must-watch TV for the show's massive fan base. At the same time, the final episodes need to lay a lot of groundwork for the spinoffs and potential sequel shows, if any of them (besides 6666) are going to include current characters.

The final half-season of Yellowstone carries further intrigue due to curiosity about how the show handles Filming for the final season of Yellowstone just got underway, so there is time for Costner to still be inserted into the narrative in some way if that wasn't the original plan. Between what is sure to be an explosive conclusion to the narrative and a resolution to the behind-the-scenes drama, the final half-season of Yellowstone figures to be Taylor Sheridan's most exciting 2024 TV show.
