American filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor Taylor Sheridan bought a 600-acre ranch in Weatherford, Texas, in 2013 as a family home. More than a decade later, the property has become a production location for his television projects. Sheridan grew up in Texas and had planned to return to the state with his wife, actress Nicole Muirbrook, and their son, Gus.
In 2021, he began filming 1883 , the Yellowstone prequel, at the property. He signed major deals with Paramount and later agreed to a deal with NBCUniversal that could be worth as much as $1 billion, according to the magazine.
Speaking on the Rodeo Time podcast earlier this year, Sheridan said he had expected to step away from television after Yellowstone . I didn’t owe anybody anything,” he said. Sheridan had previously said he intended to retire after Yellowstone.
“I was set up to retire. I was going to be done after Yellowstone . I’d bought the ranch in Weatherford, [Texas], and I paid cash. Sheridan continued expanding his television work, and the ranch itself became part of that business.
