Paramount Powerhouse Taylor Sheridan Inks Massive $1 Billion Contract with NBCUniversal

In a major industry shakeup, acclaimed producer Taylor Sheridan is leaving his longtime home at Paramount for a blockbuster $1 billion deal with NBCUniversal. The move, reported in October 2025, raises questions about the future of Sheridan's Paramount projects, including the hit series Landman, which is set to return for its second season.

However, industry insiders say Sheridan's departure won't immediately impact his existing Paramount shows. The rights to those properties remain with the studio, so Landman and others will continue uninterrupted. Sheridan also won't begin creating new content for NBC and Peacock until 2029, giving him ample time to wrap up his current commitments.
