Taylor Sheridan Poised to Set Lucrative Production Pact With NBCUniversal
Prolific series creator Taylor Sheridan is setting up a move to NBCUniversal for TV and film after his Paramount television pact ends in late 2028.
Taylor Sheridan is poised to make NBCUniversal his TV and film production home under a lucrative long-term deal starting in three years after he will have spent a decade with Paramount Television.
Sheridan has emerged as a prolific series creator and busy showrunner who has delivered a string of series for Paramount and its platforms: “Yellowstone” and its spinoffs, as well as “Tulsa King,” “Lioness,” “Landman” and “Mayor of Kingstown,” among others.
Puck says deal already done
TV’s top creator has just closed a massive deal with rival NBCUniversal for film and TV when his commitments with Paramount are up. It’s a major move for the ‘Yellowstone’ and ‘Landman’ creator, but perhaps an even bigger coup for NBCU’s Donna Langley—and suggests that her company is still playing to win.
Big loss for ParamountFor a couple months now, I’ve picked up chatter that Taylor Sheridan wasn’t happy with the new Paramount regime. TV’s top creator, the originator of Yellowstone and its successful spinoffs, and Landman, and Lioness, and a bunch more hit shows on Paramount+, was disappointed when most of the executives he worked with were either fired or marginalized after David Ellison bought the company in August. Some of Sheridan’s budgets have been questioned by incoming streaming chief Cindy Holland, according to sources. And Ellison had tried to insert Paramount into a separate deal that Sheridan made for an old film script at Warner Bros.
