NOT ONE NOMINATION for his signature program, and only one nomination (for one episode) in the past few years. And the Television Academy totally ignored the show this year. Sure, he had directed some well-received films, but his new-found fame (and fortune) is because of Yellowstone’s cable domination. Sheridan has become one of the most significant television phenomenons of the current moment. He has appeared on magazine covers, in NY tabloids, and during Sunday news shows. He has up to 9 programs under development, one of which will star Sylvester Stallone. And 1883 itself will have its own quasi spinoff focused on the legendary black cowboy, Bass Reeves.Īlong the way, Sheridan has become one of the hottest commodities in Hollywood. In fact, interest in the Dutton family’s efforts to protect its way of life has become so popular that Yellowstone has grown into its own digital empire much in the vein of Star Wars, with at least two prequels about the Dutton family facing key moments in American history– 1883, which premiered earlier this year and the recently-renamed 1923, which is in now in development and will star Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren–and another spinoff, 6666, which will focus on on the travails of Yellowstone meth-head turned cowboy, Jimmy, on a renowned Texas Ranch. Sure, the program had initially built a following primarily in small towns and rural areas–a population inclined to appreciate Yellowstone’s gritty Western oeuvre–but over the past couple of years, the psychodrama around the Dutton family and its beautiful ranch in Montana’s Paradise Valley had attracted an audience on the coasts as well.

It had finally proven its mettle, hadn’t it? Over four seasons, the drama, with Kevin Costner, a bankable Hollywood star, heading the cast, had become the most watched cable television program at a time when people are increasingly abandoning cable and networks for streaming content. After four years of snubs, Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western seemed destined for the recognition by the Television Academy with numerous Emmy nominations that would finally bring the megahit a measure of critical respectability. This year, everything was supposed to be different for Yellowstone. It is clear that the two are inseparable.īut will things take a wrong turn for the couple as suggested? Viewers can only wait for season five to conclude to answer their queries.The Hollywood elites have done it again. They might be navigating through their trauma together, which undoubtedly is not easy, but it was endearing to see Beth propose Rip. While Rip is still scarred from having seen his sibling and mother getting murdered in front of his eyes by his father, Beth is emotionally broken because of her family feuds, especially Jamie Dutton, her sibling, getting her sterilised without her consent. Moreover, their relationship seems to be based on personal healing for both of them. It was evident when a teenager Beth commanded Rip to kiss him. Beth, who is the daughter of the ranch Rip works at, yields power over him as she is his employer’s daughter. And it was evident right off the bat that their relationship has skewed power dynamics. Reportedly, the flashbacks in season two gave an insight into the early attraction between Rip and Beth as teenagers.
