"Sheridan has separate TV and movie deals with Paramount, meaning he'll have something of a staggered start with NBCU: He can begin making movies for them in 2026, then he can get to TV shows in 2029.The news comes just a few months into David Ellison's new regime, after the Skydance merger was confirmed on July 8. In the months since, he's up two Duffer brothers but down the network's single most prolific content creator."
"Sheridan not only created the megasmash Yellowstone and its spinoff 1923, but also hits like ,,Mayor of Kingstown, and . "He is literally a singular genius with a perfect track record," Ellison said in August when asked about Sheridan. "If we can make this his home as long as he wants to tell stories, we want to do that." Now, that track record heads away."
"He'll be joined by his close producing partner David Glasser and his 101 Studios, who also made a first-look deal with NBCU, which begins in early 2026. In the meantime, Sheridan has multiple shows still slated to come out for Paramount, including Yellowstone spinoffs Y: Marshals on CBS, the Michelle Pfeiffer-starring The Madison, and The Dutton Ranch. Does this mean that Kevin Costner will come back and do a Sheridan-less Yellowstone project once his nemesis, Sheridan, is gone?"
Taylor Sheridan will depart Paramount when his current deals expire and sign with NBCUniversal, with movie projects allowed beginning in 2026 and television projects beginning January 1, 2029. The move follows the Skydance merger under David Ellison earlier in July and recent executive layoffs at Paramount that reportedly affected executives Sheridan favored. Budget concerns at Paramount were cited, with series like Lioness and 1923 costing up to $20 million per episode. Sheridan will join NBCU alongside producing partner David Glasser and 101 Studios, which secured a first-look deal beginning in early 2026. Several Sheridan projects remain scheduled at Paramount, including Yellowstone spinoffs.
