US EditionNorth Texas showrunner, filmmaker Taylor Sheridan reportedly leaving Paramount for NBCU
- On Jan. 1, 2029, Taylor Sheridan's NBCU deal begins after his Paramount Global contract ends in 2028, covering new series for NBC, Peacock, and Universal Pictures.
- Earlier this year, Paramount became Paramount, a Skydance Corporation after David Ellison purchased control, and reports say Sheridan felt aggrieved by the new leadership amid clashes between Ellison and Chris McCarthy.
- Sheridan, a prolific creator with more than half a dozen series, continues to produce for Paramount+, delivering three more seasons over the next two-plus years with Yellowstone generating $2.9 billion.
- Despite Ellison calling Sheridan a priority, reports say Sheridan felt aggrieved, and the company still faces a major loss after spending billions on franchises and talent, including $7.7 billion for UFC.
- Yellowstone already streams exclusively on Peacock, Sheridan's collaborator David Glasser and 101 Studios will move to NBCU with first-look deals starting in early 2026, and SGS Studios opened a Texas hub months ago.
