For years, the creative powerhouse behind Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Landman has focused almost exclusively on small-screen dominance, building a sprawling network of prequels, sequels, and gritty dramas. But now, the acclaimed writer is shaking up Hollywood with a massive return to feature films.
In a surprise announcement from Bosque Ranch Productions and 101 Studios, it was revealed that Sheridan has officially acquired the rights to write and produce two brand-new feature films: Visalia and Capture the Flag. The projects mark his first major return to movie screenplays since 2021, signaling a thrilling pivot away from his relentless television production schedule and back to the big screen.
The seeds for these two distinct stories were planted long before Yellowstone became a global phenomenon. Both films are based on original concepts developed years ago alongside producer Andrew Lauren, whose credits include the Oscar-winning epic The Brutalist. Reflecting on the long journey to bring the scripts to life, Lauren noted that recent shifts in technology and global politics have accelerated the relevance of these stories, making now the perfect time for Sheridan to tackle them.
The first film, Visalia, marks a sharp tonal shift into gripping political and human drama. The narrative follows a determined young Cuban woman who braves immense danger to escape her homeland in pursuit of freedom in America. However, when a historic political shift unexpectedly draws her back to her roots, she is forced to confront a dramatically transformed nation—and the heavy personal sacrifices she made just to survive.
Meanwhile, the second project, Capture the Flag, dives into high-stakes sci-fi territory. The story centers on a dedicated NASA engineer caught in a desperate, high-pressure race to build the first reusable spacecraft capable of traveling to the moon and back. When a powerful tech billionaire swoops in with an offer to make history, the engineer is forced to weigh his lifelong scientific ambitions against his own moral compass.
While Sheridan continues to oversee his massive television footprint, these two films prove he is eager to flex his feature-film muscles once more. Whether he is mapping out the future of space exploration or navigating intense political turmoil, Sheridan’s return to cinema is easily one of the most exciting developments in modern Hollywood.
