When Hallmark fans watch their favorite romcoms and mystery series, this is a comfort watch. However, some of the same actresses who are acting in this frothier world can certainly bring a lot of grit to roles that are not on the network. That includes a couple who are working on two different series with Yellowstone creator, Taylor Sheridan.

There are three new series that viewers may want to check out now and in the coming months.

WCTH Alum Kayla Wallace Stars In Landman

On When Calls The Heart, Kayla Wallace portrays Suffragette Fiona Miller. While Fiona is pretty fearless, she does not seem anything like the character that Kayla portrays in Landman. In this Taylor Sheridan series, she portrays liability lawyer Rebecca Savage. This character is “capable and intimidating.” Moreover, she is in West Texas to “clean up a mess.”

Catch Taylor, Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and the rest of this ensemble cast when Landman premieres on Sunday, November 17, on Paramount+. This series is already renewed for Season 2, which will begin filming in early 2025.
