Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is filming a western epic about Comanches
As the industry website Deadline reports, Taylor Sheridan recently secured the film rights to SC Gwynne’s non-fiction book Empire of the Summer Moon – not to be confused with Killers of the Flower Moon. The long additional title is: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. Sheridan wants to write and direct the adaptation himself.
Empire of the Summer Moon tells, among other things the story of the real-life Comanche leader Quanah Parker, who united several tribes in the 19th century to resist the settlement of Texas. The conflict between the Comanches and white settlers depicted in the book spans around 40 years.

In May 2021, Sheridan and other partners purchased the 6666 Ranch in Texas, which also plays a role in Yellowstone. The founder of this ranch, Samuel Burnett, was a friend of Quanah’s and bought the piece of land from the Comanches.

First of all, Taylor Sheridan only secured the adaptation rights. It could take until Empire of the Summer Moon actually appears 2025 or 2026 last.
