The news that Taylor Sheridan was exiting his deal with Paramount and moving to NBCUniversal shocked the entertainment industry when it was announced at the end of last year. After all, he had had major success there with numerous series: Yellowstone, MobLand, Tulsa King, Lioness and Landman among them for Paramount+, and more recently Marshals, a Yellowstone spinoff, for CBS, which is consistently in the Top 10.
The new contract doesn’t go into effect until 2029 and is reportedly for the creation of 20 new shows, making the overall deal worth $1 billion. That said, Sheridan has previously said it isn’t about awards or money for him. And that may be the case as it’s no secret, he has a desire for more creative freedom and flexibility.

In an interview with Yahoo Finance Invest, Sheridan shared his reason for the change.
“The beauty of it is to get an opportunity to work with Donna Langley — her taste is impeccable,” he said. “Her understanding of the industry and our business is unrivaled. She looks for marquee storytellers, and she trusts them.”
For those not in the know, Langley is chair of NBCUniversal Entertainment with a reputation for being filmmaker-friendly, and she has managed to lure several big-name producers to her stable.

“I’ve never had a show canceled. I’ve never had a show that wasn’t produced,” Sheridan continued. “Every show I’ve ever made was a hit. So, I’ve earned the right to go somewhere that trusts me to do the same thing for them. And different than where I am now, I have no output minimums. So, how much do I want to make? How many shows do I want to make? How do I want to make a movie now and then do a show? So, I have the freedom creatively. I don’t have to do so many shows.”
Sheridan initially began his Hollywood career struggling to find success as an actor, which he finally did in Sons of Anarchy, but when that ended, he turned to screenwriting and his career behind the camera blew up with the creation of Yellowstone, which has since been followed by 1883, 1923, and Dutton Ranch.
Sheridan’s newest hit, Marshals, airs Sunday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Streams next day on Paramount+.
