Thornton cited Sheridan's other work, including "Yellowstone" and "Mayor of Kingstown," as material that reflects the authentic humanity of America.

Yellowstone is back on TV, and another show co-created by Taylor Sheridan is about to follow.

Billy Bob Thornton stars in Landman, the new show from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, and in a new interview, he shares what his working relationship with the high-powered writer-director was like during shooting. Thornton had previously worked with Sheridan on 1883, in which he made a cameo appearance as Marshal Jim Courtright.
