Taylor Sheridan,<\/a> the Fort Worth-raised show creator whose hits have made Paramount a formidable competitor in an era of fierce streaming wars, is expected to leave the network for a new deal with NBCUniversal. <\/p>\n

When Sheridan\u2019s contract with Paramount expires in 2028, he will join NBCU on a five-year film, TV and streaming deal set to begin in 2029, according to Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Puck first reported the move. The Dallas Morning News could not immediately reach representatives for Sheridan, Paramount or NBCU for comment. <\/p>\n

Sheridan\u2019s TV slate, which includes Yellowstone<\/a>, Lioness<\/a> and Landman<\/a>, will continue to live on the Paramount+ streamer after he migrates to NBCU. His shows have increasingly been filmed<\/a> around North Texas and he planted firmer roots in the region earlier this year when he opened a production campus<\/a> in Fort Worth backed by an investment from Paramount. <\/p>\n

After the merger between Paramount and Skydance Global in August, David Ellison, CEO of the new company, praised Sheridan as \u201ca singular genius\u201d on CNBC\u2019s<\/a> Squawk on the Street. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to have Taylor call Paramount his home for as long as he wants to be telling stories,\u201d Ellison said. <\/p>\n

Since the merger, several executives who worked closely with Sheridan have left Paramount or were reassigned, Puck reported. Paramount Skydance is also expected to begin layoffs of nearly 2,000 employees this week. <\/p>\n

Paramount\u2019s former co-CEO Chris McCarthy told Bloomberg Businessweek in April that when he assumed leadership of the network in 2019, it had considered canceling Yellowstone as a cost-cutting measure. <\/p>\n

The Western drama, which would later spawn a universe due to its popularity, centers around a Montana ranching family\u2019s quest to stave off outsiders who seek to encroach on their sprawling land. <\/p>\n

To court coastal audiences, McCarthy moved the show from airing on Wednesday nights to Sunday nights, a slot associated with prestige TV, Bloomberg reported. He also encouraged Sheridan to go bigger with visuals. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were the place of last resort, so we weren\u2019t going to get the pitches,\u201d McCarthy said, referring to Paramount+. \u201cWe knew we had to actually figure it out on our own.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sheridan conveyed a sense of allegiance to McCarthy. <\/p>\n

\u201cI sure hope that if this merger takes place, they have the foresight to keep him,\u201d he told Bloomberg in April. \u201cI don\u2019t know of another executive that I could do this with.\u201d <\/p>\n

Several months later, McCarthy left Paramount after the merger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Sheridan, the Fort Worth-raised show creator whose hits have made Paramount a formidable competitor in an era…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":336580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,7371,7372,12044,12045,358,173,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,16544],"class_list":{"0":"post-336579","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-fort-worth","10":"tag-fortworth","11":"tag-landman","12":"tag-taylor-sheridan","13":"tag-texas","14":"tag-tv","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa","22":"tag-yellowstone"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115447506206499123","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=336579"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336579\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
