Taylor Sheridan Set to Depart Paramount for NBCUniversal

Frame 1171276606

Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind hit shows like Yellowstone, is expected to leave Paramount for NBCUniversal, starting with a new film deal next year. Despite his ongoing TV commitment with Paramount, Sheridan is likely to bring his successful projects to NBCUniversal in the future.

Taylor Sheridan, known for his work on Yellowstone and Tulsa King, is preparing to leave Paramount for NBCUniversal, as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. He is expected to start with a film deal at NBCUniversal next year, even though his TV deal with Paramount runs until the end of 2028. When his Paramount deal concludes, Sheridan is likely to bring his projects over to NBCUniversal. The move was first reported by Puck, though NBCU declined to comment on the matter.

Sheridan, a prominent figure in the industry, has created successful shows like Yellowstone and Tulsa King, as well as projects for Paramount such as Special Ops: Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown. His work has attracted A-list talent like Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Sam Elliott, and Jeremy Renner. Despite his upcoming film at Warner Bros., Sheridan’s future at NBCUniversal is anticipated to be lucrative, requiring him to develop new intellectual property.

While Paramount retains ownership of Sheridan’s existing franchises, his content has been integral to the Paramount+ streaming platform. With numerous active projects, Sheridan’s influence is expected to endure for years, even after his transition to NBCUniversal for television ventures. In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sheridan emphasized his commitment to telling stories on his terms without compromise.

Under CEO David Ellison, Paramount has prioritized attracting top talent, securing deals with creators like Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the Duffer brothers, and other key figures. Meanwhile, NBCUniversal, led by Donna Langley, has also been known for its talent-friendly approach, recruiting names such as Christopher Nolan and Seth Rogen. Sheridan, whose production company collaborates with Paramount, notably operates in Texas and Montana, recently expanding operations in Texas in partnership with the studio.
