Taylor Sheridan, widely celebrated for his television empire including hits like Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and the currently popular Lioness, also boasts a compelling filmography that often flies under the radar. While his small-screen projects dominate streaming, Sheridan's big-screen writing and directing credits, such as Sicario, Hell or High Water, and his directorial debut Wind River, are critically acclaimed.

Among these cinematic efforts is Those Who Wish Me Dead, a gritty action thriller from 2021 that Sheridan both wrote and directed. The film, which features a strong ensemble cast including Angelina Jolie as smokejumper Hannah Faber, Jon Bernthal, Nicholas Hoult, and Aidan Gillen, is now enjoying a surprise resurgence on Netflix. Critics initially received the film positively, with a 63% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, praising it as a worthy addition to Sheridan's neo-Western style.

Its renewed popularity on Netflix coincides with an exceptionally prolific year for Jon Bernthal. The actor has been a consistent presence across various platforms in 2026, beginning with the Netflix series His & Hers. He then reprised his role in a prequel episode for Christopher Storer’s acclaimed series The Bear. Bernthal also made a significant return to the Marvel universe with the Special Presentation The Punisher: One Last Kill, bridging his series role with an appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Furthermore, he collaborated with Tom Holland in Christopher Nolan's historical epic The Odyssey, cementing his status in two of the year's biggest hits.
