According to reports, prolific showrunner, director, writer and creator Taylor Sheridan’s relationship with Paramount is headed for the “train station,” after he inked a multiyear deal with NBCUniversal. Sheridan’s shows, including “Yellowstone” (and spinoffs “1923” and “1883”), “Landman,” “Lioness,” “Tulsa King” and “Mayor of Kingstown,” brought big ratings to Paramount but also had high costs. Sheridan’s NBCU deal doesn’t officially start until 2029, giving him three more years with Paramount, where he is expected to continue to deliver new episodes of “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Landman,” “Lioness,” “Tulsa King” and three upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoffs – “The Dutton Ranch” and “The Madison” for Paramount+ and “Y: Marshals” for CBS. Sheridan also has a music reality series, “The Road,” in the works for CBS. Even though Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison called Sheridan “a singular genius with a perfect track record” in the past, his shows were costly – as much as $20 million per episode according to some reports – and the cowboy creator lost some key executive backers – including Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy – in the wake of the merger.

I will miss you.”
