Comedian Chris Rock has playfully pitched a unique concept for Taylor Sheridan's expanding Yellowstone universe, suggesting a "white slavery show." Rock expressed enthusiasm for working with Sheridan, humorously envisioning himself as a Black landowner with white slaves. This idea emerged in a recent interview with Variety.
Taylor Sheridan, known for his successful Western dramas, has built a significant franchise around "Yellowstone," which concluded its run in 2024. The universe includes popular spinoffs such as "1883" and "1923," alongside other original series like "Landman" and "Mayor of Kingstown." Sheridan's production approach emphasizes cinematic quality for television.
Sheridan's projects consistently attract A-list talent, including Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford. The appeal of working with the acclaimed producer has led other celebrities to express interest. Tom Selleck has voiced a desire for a Western role, while Kris Jenner's boyfriend, Corey Gamble, revealed he declined a "Yellowstone" offer, a decision Jenner supported believing it was for a romantic storyline.
