The massive five-year overall deal for film, TV and streaming, will begin Jan. 1, 2029 after Sheridan’s overall TV deal with Paramount ends. (It goes through 2028.) Also moving to NBCUniversal is Sheridan’s close collaborator David Glasser and his 101 Studios, who has signed a first-look deal with the new studio that will begin in early 2026, after the company fulfills its current Taylor Sheridan obligations to Paramount.
This is a shocker, underscoring the new era of talent wars that commenced with Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global. In one of the combined company’s first major moves, it poached Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer from Netflix with a similarly massive film and TV deal.
Sheridan’s departure, first reported by Puck, is also surprising as the new Paramount regime made it clear on Day 1 that he was the top creator on their roster and someone they were looking to keep in the fold for a long time. But the regime change came with top executive changes too, including the departure of co-CEO Chris McCarthy who was directly involved in the Taylor Sheridan business.

He was the only thing keeping them alive
I read that article in Matt Belloni’s voice.
Well luckily for Paramount the industry will be dead by 2029 so they’ll win in the end 🤣
Most of these big money moves end with the creator failing to live up to the contract. Looking at you J. J. Abrams
Wow I can’t believe they didn’t give him any and everything he could have asked for at Paramount. He creates like 90% of their original content. They are screwed
As long as landman season 3 is out, it could be on pbs for all i care.
His films are great. I hope he goes back to some interesting film work.
Damnnnnn, they must have cut the check.
So I guess all the “you have to love this, being a middle-age dude and all” suggestions won’t just be annoying me on P+ now? Nothing about anything he does interests me in the slightest. Something douchey about his look, too.
Will this affect Mobland? … nah we good
does this mean we finally have a chance to get get a jimmy/teeter workplace comedy?
Well, that will be the end of Paramount+.
Sheridan is still contracted with Paramount through 2028…. So the shows he’s has have about 2 yrs left
Is it just me or does he have the most punchable face?
