October 27Oct 27 Here’s a bombshell. Taylor Sheridan — the cowboy-poet turned television emperor — is leaving Skydance-owned Paramount. He’s decided to exit and sign a new deal at NBCUniversal. You can’t really blame him. According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, Sheridan, who built the house of “Yellowstone”; and then some, is not happy with Paramount’s new brass, led by Cindy Holland. They started nitpicking his budgets — which can hit $20M an episode — and even tried to interfere with an unrelated film deal Sheridan had already made at Warner Bros. Sheridan’s bolting for NBCUniversal in a deal so large it borders on the ridiculous — a five-year, nine-figure TV pact beginning in 2028, paired with an eight-year film arrangement that kicks off in March. Universal has now nabbed the most successful television auteur of the past decade, plus his whole empire, including 101 Studios. https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/10/26/taylor-sheridan-exits-paramount
October 27Oct 27 Quote Universal has been positioning itself as a filmmaker’s studio — home to Nolan, Peele, and Spielberg — and Sheridan clearly saw himself in that company. You miss every shot you don't take.
October 27Oct 27 I assume this is the last season of Mayor of Kingstown? I assume he can’t take a Paramount show with him to another network.
October 27Oct 27 Same for Landman. If all his shows are stuck at Paramount, he's gotta reboot everything? How much can he copy? Hire all the original actors and give them new names?
October 27Oct 27 I'd wager that he is gone from NBCuniversal inside of 5 years. He isn't going to get the free reign he had at Paramount for the last decade anywhere else. Doesn't matter what the contract says. Too many egos in the business.
October 27Oct 27 Popular Post Is he finally going to get to make a show about horses running really fast and then coming to a stop really fast? Give the people what they want!

Hire all the original actors and give them new names? They'll all stay at Paramount. Same thing happened with Season One of Yellowstone. It lived on Peacock. He's likely leaving for a big pile of money. That ranch isn't going to pay for itself and the production budgets on some of his shows helped subsidize the ranch. They had to use/rent "his" horses, for example. Meanwhile, Yellowstone is slapped on most everything.

Give the people what they want! Also this guy's like M. Night; he has to appear in everything and always as some kind of badass. I mean, I really liked Sicario, Wind River, and Hell or High Water. Everything else has been pretty meh to me TBH. Edited October 27Oct 27 by DDD Dad

I doubt Demi Moore wants to do more TV while she’s chasing an Oscar. Andy Garcia wants to show up for 1-2 days of work and be a menacing charmer.

Seriously how much did his production company charge the studio to send actors to various camps on the ranch he is part owner? There are aldermen in Chicago who are jealous of how Sheridan was milking Paramount.

Mayor, Lioness, and Landman must have much lower production costs than Yellowstone.

October 28Oct 28 His slop is so bad now. Jesus, imagine how rancid and wretched it will be in 5 years. Epic overpay.

Lioness was okay (main story line is relatively engaging); but the family scenes are absolutely cringeworthy. Completely unnecessary and just terribly written.

No you don't, for 115 minutes we will be waiting for Alejandro to show up to settle the score with the Cartels only for the climatic scene to last 20 seconds and then we get a 4 minute or so wrap up of some shit we really don't care about, but are shown anyhow.
