'Yellowstone' Creator Taylor Sheridan's NBCUniversal Deal Explained
Taylor Sheridan is leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in a five-year deal beginning in 2029—earlier for films—valued around the unprecedented $1 billion range if he delivers a planned 20-show slate for NBC and Peacock. Sources say Donna Langley personally courted him, while rivals including Warner Bros Discovery, Amazon MGM and Netflix also pursued. Sheridan’s move follows frustrations under the Skydance-led Paramount regime: heavy notes on his Capture the Flag script, budget pressures on Lioness and a Kidman series deal made without informing him, plus The Correspondent being pulled. He’ll finish existing Paramount series; 101 Studios will follow with a first-look.
