Have you ever had one of those friends who shows up at every gathering, steals the spotlight, and after a while, you find yourself saying, “Okay, we get it. You’re the life of the party”? Well, Taylor Sheridan might be that friend in the world of Western dramas. While many creators choose to stay behind the scenes, Sheridan has embraced his role in front of the camera, and while some may appreciate his appearances, others are starting to raise an eyebrow.

Taylor Sheridan’s habit of casting himself in his own shows is becoming a source of concern for fans.

Sheridan has been a mastermind behindYellowstoneand1883, creating unforgettable characters and compelling narratives. But as much as his storytelling abilities shine, his own on-screen appearances often feel like an unwanted encore performance after the crowd’s already tired of clapping.

Taylor Sheridan’s screen time: A blessing or a curse?

In a world where cowboys and family legacies collide, the Western drama genre has found its match inTaylor Sheridan. The man behindYellowstone,1883, and1923has crafted a universe so rich in drama and grit that it’s almost impossible not to get hooked. But Sheridan, as brilliant as he is at constructing worlds of tension, drama, and raw emotion, has one worrying habit that’s starting to raise eyebrows among fans.

‘Yellowstone’ Fans Can’t Shake Off the Feeling That 1 Character May Have Fallen Prey to Taylor Sheridan’s Alleged Bias

Whether he’s saddling up as Charles Goodnight in1883or stepping into the boots of Travis Wheatley inYellowstone, Sheridan doesn’t seem to shy away from making a cameo in his own creations. And if you’ve been followingYellowstoneSeason 5, you know exactly what we mean. But the question is: will he saddle up again for1923Season 2? And, honestly, should he?

Let’s not beat around the bush: Sheridan’s appearance inYellowstoneSeason 5 was a bit much for some viewers. While it’s true his character, Travis Wheatley, brought some much-needed comic relief during the show’s intense final few episodes, his role seemed to overshadow more pivotal character arcs—especially that of Jamie Dutton, whose journey was arguably more critical than his.

Plus, for fans already juggling the emotional upheaval of John Dutton’s death and the Dutton family’s crumbling empire, Sheridan’s extended screen time felt like a misstep. But here we are, wondering if he’s about to pull the same stunt in1923.

Will Taylor Sheridan overstep his boundaries in1923season 2?

Before we dive into the1923dilemma, let’s take a step back. Taylor Sheridan has proven his chops behind the camera—1883was a brilliant foray into the Dutton family’s origin story, andYellowstone…well, it’s practically its own brand of Western gold. Sheridan’s impressive résumé as a writer, producer, and director (remember his powerful works inSicarioandHell or High Water?) can’t be ignored.

Now, all eyes are on1923Season 2, which has dropped a tantalizingtrailerpacked with drama, peril, and a whole lot of Dutton family chaos. The stakes are higher than ever as Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) face down brutal winters, cutthroat enemies, and a world that wants to leave the Duttons in the dust. Meanwhile, Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) and his lady-love, Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), are miles apart, each facing their own deadly obstacles.

The trailer promises all the grit and historical conflict we’ve come to expect from this prequel, as the Duttons continue their battle for survival. But here’s the burning question: with the spotlight already so fiercely focused on the Duttons and their ever-present struggle, do we really need a distraction in the form of Sheridan himself playing yet another character?

His on-screen presence in both Yellowstone and 1883 has raised questions about whether it distracts from the story.

1923season 2 will premiere onFeb. 23on Paramount+, where all of season 1 can be streamed.

Yellowstoneis available to watch on Peacock.
