After building an empire with hits like Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and Tulsa King, Sheridan is turning his attention to a long-anticipated action film called F.A.S.T. The thriller is scheduled to hit theaters April 23, 2027, and it already has fans buzzing thanks to its star power and Sheridan’s reputation for high-stakes storytelling.

Here’s everything we know about F.A.S.T. so far:

Brandon Sklenar Leads the Cast

Best known to Yellowstone fans as Spencer Dutton in 1923, Brandon Sklenar will take on the lead role in F.A.S.T. He plays a former U.S. special forces officer who’s approached by the DEA to lead a black ops strike team. It’s a gritty, intense role that fits right in with Sheridan’s signature brand of tough-as-nails characters.

Juliana Canfield Joins as Female Lead

Joining Sklenar is Succession alum Juliana Canfield, whose role in the film has not yet been revealed. Known for her part as Jess Jordan in the HBO hit, Canfield brings a strong presence to the project that’s already packed with promise.

The Plot

The movie follows a disgraced former commando returning home, only to be recruited by the government to help dismantle a powerful drug operation tied to the CIA. Expect danger, moral gray areas, and the kind of relentless pacing Sheridan’s stories are known for.

The Director: Ben Richardson

Ben Richardson, the go-to director for many of Sheridan’s shows (1883, Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown), will make his feature directorial debut with F.A.S.T. He and Sheridan previously worked together on Wind River and other Sheridan-verse staples.

Long Time Coming

Sheridan originally wrote F.A.S.T. back in the 2010s, and it was first picked up by Warner Bros. in 2018 with Chris Pratt reportedly eyed for the lead. The project stalled due to budget concerns and the pandemic. But Sheridan’s rise to one of TV’s most bankable creators gave the film new life.

Behind the Scenes

The film is being produced by Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions alongside Heyday Films (David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford), with Warner Bros. distributing. It marks a return to film for Sheridan, who earned acclaim for his screenplays for Sicario and Hell or High Water.

When It Premieres

F.A.S.T. is set to debut in theaters on April 23, 2027. Production is still ramping up, so expect more casting announcements and details in the months ahead.

For now, fans of Yellowstone and 1923 have something new to look forward to—and it looks like another action-packed chapter in Taylor Sheridan’s ever-growing legacy.
