Yellowstone Creator Interested In ‘Modern American Frontier’
Even before Taylor Sheridan created Yellowstone, he was interested in the issues that modern ranchers deal with on a day-to-day basis.
Back in 2017, Sheridan spoke to Esquire about his fascination with the “modern American frontier.”
What I wanted to do was explore the modern American frontier. I wanted to explore the consequences of the settlement and assimilation of that land 130 years later. How much has really changed? And how much hasn’t? And it’s not unique to America. You can make the same study in South America. You can make the same study in Europe. It was all settled, and it was all taken from someone, or someone was assimilated or pushed out. It happened so recently here that the waters are still muddy.
There is no information on when the new series will premiere on Fox.
