New Taylor Sheridan Series ‘Kansas City’ Gives Sly Stallone His Own Mobster Show

A new series by creator Taylor Sheridan gives Sylvester Stallone a chance as his own mobster-themed television series, Kansas City.

The talented actor, director, cowboy, and writer Taylor Sheridan has created another addition to the Sheridan Universe and, this time, it’s not about cowboys but gangsters. The creative juices behind Yellowstone, 1883, and the soon-to-be-released, 6666, have brought another blockbuster name into the Sheridan Universe with Sylvester Stallone.

According to Esquire, Stallone is in talks to star in Taylor Sheridan’s new mobster series where Stallone would play Sal, a New York City gangster who moves to Kansas City. Ripped from his comfort zone in New York City, Sal’s job will now entail navigating the power structure in the comparatively tony midwestern city.

The experience will surely be one of uncertainty as Sal is no doubt accustomed to life in his New York megalopolis where his Italian American mob family has ruled, relatively unchallenged, for just short of a century. Of course, when you’ve lived a life of a mobster, clawing and gouging your way to the top of the proverbial food chain is sort of second nature and, according to Deadline, that’s exactly how this series intends to play out.

This will be the first series created by Sheridan that will be run by someone else – Terence Winter. Don’t be troubled by that realization though, as Winter has weathered storms on such acclaimed mobster productions as Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos.

This new series will (hopefully) cast Stallone in his first major lead in a television series having guest-starred in a couple of classics from the 70s, Police Story, and Kojak, and more recently, This Is Us.
