Saddle up, lads. Taylor Sheridan never misses a day of work in his life, and that means we have more of his TV shows than we know what to do with. Landman season 2 might have finished, but new spinoff The Madison is only a few weeks away.

 

 

However, we’re not exactly back in the thick of the Yellowstone-verse. The Madison director Christina Alexandra Voros worked across the original series, telling Variety back in November 2024, “It’s such a different story. The common ground is the landscape. We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished.

“There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being’s place in that space, but it’s coming at it from a completely different point of view.”

“Landman” features a host of actors who have appeared in other Taylor Sheridan shows. As of yet, however, “1883” stars and real-life married couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw haven’t been involved. But if the show co-creator gets his way, we might soon see the pair back together in the hugely popular oil drama.

“Landman” is just the latest in a long line of hit Sheridan-helmed shows, and it has all the hallmarks of the prolific co-creator. For one, it’s packed with faces fans of his “Yellowstone” franchise will remember, most notably James Jordan as engineer Dale Bradley, a friend to Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris. Jordan has been in a number of Sheridan projects, from his neo-Western crime thriller and directorial debut “Wind River” to “Yellowstone” itself, in which he played Steve Hendon. But he’s far from the only Sheridan regular to show up in “Landman,” with Sam Elliott arriving in season 2 after having previously fronted the “Yellowstone” spin-off “1883.”

Now, it seems “Landman” co-creator Christian Wallace wants to see more “1883” alumni appearing in the oil drama. Speaking to CinemaBlend, Wallace praised Sheridan for being able to find new roles for longtime collaborators. “There are so many great actors, and Taylor is really incredible about reusing people,” he said, before going on to reveal who he’d like to see appear in “Landman.” “The way he casts people is just great. But you know who I’d like to see more of is Tim [McGraw] and Faith [Hill]. They were so good in ‘1883,’ and Tim was in ‘Friday Night Lights,’ the movie, with Billy back in the day, and that would be a pretty fun reunion.”

“Landman” is perfect viewing for “Yellowstone” fans, but in many ways, the oil drama actually grew out of “1883.” Billy Bob Thornton briefly appeared on the “Yellowstone” spin-off playing Marshal Jim Courtright. As the actor explained during his “Actors on Actors” appearance with Kathy Bates, it was only when he agreed to attend the “1883” premiere that he saw Taylor Sheridan again, who revealed he’d been working on an oil drama and wanted Thornton to star. In that sense, “1883” and “Landman” will be forever linked, and if Christian Wallace has his way, that link will only get stronger.

 

When Sam Elliott’s casting for “1883” was announced, it came alongside the announcement that Faith Hill and Tim McGraw had been drafted in for the “Yellowstone” prequel. Hill played Dutton family matriarch Margaret Dutton alongside her real-life husband Tim McGraw as James Dutton. Obviously, the fact the pair’s casting was announced alongside Elliott’s doesn’t mean much in terms of their potential involvement in “Landman.” But when coupled with Wallace’s comments and the fact that these two shows seem to share a significant link already, it certainly doesn’t seem all that unlikely that Hill and McGraw might show up.

What’s more, there seems to be some buzz around the idea itself. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Thornton was asked about Hill and McGraw potentially appearing in “Landman,” saying, “Well, that would be awesome if they do. But you know, Taylor Sheridan, he kind of picks and chooses whatever he wants for the show. We don’t have a lot of clout in terms of that. But maybe we’ll bring their names up and see what happens.” Again, it’s far from confirmation that Hill and McGraw will appear in “Landman,” but it adds to the hype.
