"Most likely, Sheridan began shopping around for a new contract once news broke that David Ellison would merge Skydance and Paramount Global to became CEO of the new Paramount Skydance Corporation. 'Most of the executives he worked with were either fired or marginalized' in the move, according to Puck, including former Paramount Network and MTV Entertainment Studios CEO Chris McCarthy."
"He fought for his showsand most importantly, his budgetswhich are reportedly now being questioned by the incoming streaming head Cindy Holland, per Puck. Losing your teammates and receiving less money? Even professional athletes have demanded trades for less. So, NBCUniversal noticed that Sheridan's contract was up at the end of 2028 and decided to poach him. (The exact price tag that convinced Sheridan to jump ship has yet to be reported, but many sources tally"
"His current roster of shows includes Landman, Lioness, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, the future Tulsa King spin-off NOLA King with Samuel L. Jackson, and four upcoming Yellowstone spin-offs. (Dutton Ranch, The Madison, 1944, and Y: Marshals.) Will all these shows just end without Sheridan's involvement? Well, not exactly. Here's what we know so far about the future of the Sheridan-verse."
Taylor Sheridan will leave Paramount to sign a major TV and film deal with NBCUniversal that begins in early 2029. The departure follows a corporate reshuffle after David Ellison merged Skydance and Paramount Global to form Paramount Skydance, which led to the firing or marginalization of several executives, including Chris McCarthy. Budgetary scrutiny from incoming streaming head Cindy Holland reduced support for Sheridan's projects. NBCUniversal timed a poaching effort as Sheridan's contract expired at the end of 2028. Sheridan currently has multiple series in the Sheridan-verse, including several Yellowstone spin-offs and other Paramount-tied shows.
