What is ‘F.A.S.T.’ about? The plot of Sheridan’s new film
Sheridan’s new movie, F.A.S.T., was announced in early May 2025. In the initial announcement, it was also revealed that Sklenar would be starring in it, meaning that he would reunite with the man who created his breakout role in the Yellowstone prequel, 1923. It will also reunite them with cinematographer Ben Richardson, who also worked on 1923 with them.
“This script. This character. This team,” Sklenar wrote on Instagram after the film was announced. “So much gratitude.”
The plot is expected to follow a special forces commando (Sklenar) who gets recruited to work with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to help lead a strike team against high-level Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) protected drug dealers.

Warner Bros is expected to produce it, Sheridan wrote the script and Richardarson is expected to direct it. It will be his first feature film, as he has previously focused on cinematography and photography. He has two Emmy award nominations for his work on Yellowstone (2019) and Mare of Easttown (2022). It will also be the first time since 2021 that Sheridan has written a full-length film.
“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,” Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “With the hugely talented 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.”

Brandon Sklenar on reuniting with his ‘1923’ creator
Sklenar and Sheridan have known each other for over three years, thanks to the hit show 1923, which followed Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) as they try to protect the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in 1920s Montana.
“It’s a special thing. And I owe it all to this show. I was grinding for 12 to 13 years before [1923],” the actor told Esquire in February. “For [Sheridan] to put that faith in me to play this incredible character he wrote, I’ll forever be in debt to him. I’m just so honored that I got to do it and hopefully continue to do it.”
Since 1923 first aired in 2022, Sklenar has gone on to appear in It Ends with Us in 2024 alongside Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. He also worked on the 2025 thriller Drop with White Lotus star Meghan Fahy. The actor is also expected to play Andrew in the highly anticipated adaptation of The Housemaid alongside Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria and Anyone But You) and Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls and Mamma Mia).
“It’s very dark, dramatic [and] twisted,” Sklenar told Variety earlier this year. “It’s not gory but it’s twisted. It’s out there for sure. I am a little unhinged. You very rarely get the opportunity to just let the cat out of the bag.”
The Housemaid is expected to be released later this year, and as of publication, there is no trailer or release date.
