Taylor Sheridan’s Candid Reflection onYellowstone’sSuccess
The massive success and the remarkable viewership ofYellowstonedid not go unnoticed, with many other studios and production companies introducing their own neo-Western shows, including the‘Walker, Texas Ranger’rebootWalker, andOuter Range.
However, in an interview,Taylor Sheridanexpressed skepticism about the industry’s sudden interest in the genre. The showrunner highlighted that it’s not the show that has generated interest in the Western genre, but, its success and the numbers that it brought in. He toldVariety,
“So I don’t know that it’s flattering, because I don’t think they’re doing it because ‘Yellowstone’ is good — They’re doing it because 15 million people watch it. And they’re like: ‘A lot of people watch Westerns. Let’s make Westerns.”
Sheridan’s remark highlights the broader trend in the entertainment industry, where commercial success often drives creative decisions. Following its premiere in 2018, the series has continued to gain traction with its subsequent seasons.
