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.

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.

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?

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.
