‘Yellowstone’ director Taylor Sheridan reacts to claims show is ‘anti-woke’: ‘Really?’ – By Stephanie Giang-Paunon (FOX Business) / Nov 12, 2022
‘Yellowstone’ season 5 will premiere on Nov. 13
Taylor Sheridan, creator of “Yellowstone,” is responding to critics who suggest the series is “anti-woke.”
“They refer to it as ‘the conservative show’…‘the Republican show’ or ‘the red-state ‘Game of Thrones,’ ” Sheridan said during an interview with The Atlantic.
“And I just sit back laughing. I’m like, ‘Really?’ The show’s talking about the displacement of Native Americans and the way Native American women were treated…about corporate greed…the gentrification of the West, and land-grabbing. That’s a red-state show?”
Sheridan’s comments come on the heels of the show’s season five premiere on Sunday.
