It’s the crossover that fans of Taylor Sheridan shows have been waiting for, and was originally being shopped around as “2024.” Much like the 1883 and 1923 prequels dove into the past of the Dutton storyline, “2024” was supposed to continue the present storyline, and for quite some time, the star of “2024” was […]
