TV Shows
Yellowstone: Taylor Sheridan both created and starred in Yellowstone. This greatly successful show goes over the current day Cowboying, the fight for land in Montana, and the appreciation of this world and it’s animals. It has a beautiful balance between both sides of the coin, the white peoples American Dream and what they bring to the world, and the Native Americans loss of land and continued battles. Season 5 premiering Nov. 13, 2022. NEXT WEEK.
Yellowstone Spin off 1883 and the new Sequel, 1923: Ah yes, 1883. Small Pox and white people moving West. This show was gritty, bloody, and again showed both sides of the coin. 1923 has now been announced and will have the same vibes. Premiering Sunday, Dec 18th 1923 is the Origin story of Yellowstone and will be split into two seasons. It will focus on the Drought, Great Depression, and the End of Prohibition within the Duttons world.
Special Mention Alaska Daily: Premiering recently on Oct 7th, 2022. While this show is not written by Taylor Sheridan it continues the story that largely needs to still be talked about, the uninvestigated kidnappings, rapes, and murders of Native American Women. The same premise that Taylor Sheridan’s “Wind River” went over.
Alaska Daily features Hilary Swank, a Journalist that left NY after getting her story snuffed, and travels to Alaska to work for The Daily Alaskan. There she learns about the culture of Alaskans and Native Americans, meanwhile investigating crooked cops and the rapes and murders of Native American Women.
Movies
Wind River: Directed by Taylor Sheridan featuring Gil Birmingham and Kelsey Asbille, both from Yellowstone, and Jeremy Renner. This movie is another take on Snowy Wyoming, Whites working there and the American Indian Reservations. Jeremy Renner is set to investigate the death of Kelsey Asbille, an American Indian who’s body was found miles from any buildings or people. The father of Kelsey Asbille being Gil Birmingham, another Taylor Sheridan favorite.
