THR reports that Sheridan is returning to movies, with F.A.S.T. having now landed at Warner Bros. The film is on the fast track, with a theatrical release date already set for April 23, 2027.
Brandon Sklenar, who stars as Spencer Dutton on 1923 has been tapped to play the lead, with frequent 1923 director Ben Richardson set to direct in his feature film debut. The synopsis for the movie is as follows:
F.A.S.T. concerns a former special forces commando, down on his luck after he returns Stateside, who is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers in his town.
Sheridan wrote the script for F.A.S.T. back in the mid-2010s and was once attached to direct with Chris Pratt starring. The film was in development at Warners for a number of years, but its expected budget of $60 million to $70 million put it in an awkward space between the company’s theatrical and streaming goals for what was then HBO Max. After a stint at Amazon before the rights lapsed, it’s now back at Warner Bros.
The THR report notes that F.A.S.T.‘s budget has not yet been set, but it will likely be less than $65 million. In addition to having written the script, Sheridan is also in talks to produce alongside Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions, with David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films also producing. Warner Bros.
Motion Picture Group’s Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy shared a statement about F.A.S.T., which is included below:
“The breadth of Taylor Sheridan’s body of work is simply astounding and unparalleled in sheer excellence and consistent quality and we could not be more honored to be making this film with him/
With the hugely talent director Ben Richardson behind the camera and the exceptional producing talents of Heyday Films and Bosque Ranch, we are thrilled to have such an incredible creative team bringing F.A.S.T. to the big screen.”
What This Means For Taylor Sheridan
The Yellowstone Creator’s Movie History Explained
Sheridan still remains immensely busy in the world of TV. Though Yellowstone ended last year and 1923 season 2 brought the prequel to a close last month, the world of the show is set to live on in the form of several new spinoffs, including The Madison, a 1944 prequel, and a series focused on Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).
F.A.S.T., however, marks a return for Sheridan to an earlier era of his career, which was defined by work in the feature film space.

Our Take On F.A.S.T.
Why It’s One To Be Excited About

Skelnar, as Spencer, was a crucial figure in the 1923 cast, and his character’s storyline made up a significant portion of both seasons. Skelnar managed to bring both an intense physicality to his character while also ensuring that Spencer remained an empathetic figure worth rooting for. The star was also recently a highlight of Drop (2025), a Blumhouse thriller that earned positive reviews.
Sheridan’s feature film work with movies like Sicario and Hell or High Water is notable, and his history combined with Sklenar in the lead has already made F.A.S.T. one to look forward to. Richardson’s involvement is also a positive sign, as 1923 proves that he and Sheridan work well together. It remains to be seen how F.A.S.T. will compare to past Sheridan movies, but it has the makings of an exciting new project in the careers of all involved.
