Paramount Powerhouse Taylor Sheridan Inks Massive $1 Billion Contract with NBCUniversal
16 Nov
Summary
- Sheridan leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in $1 billion deal
- Paramount retains rights to his existing shows like Landman
- Sheridan won't start creating shows for NBC until 2029
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.
Sheridan's new deal with NBCUniversal covers film, TV, and streaming projects over the next eight years. He's expected to deliver an impressive 20 new shows for the network and its Peacock streaming service. While the specifics of his involvement in future seasons of Landman and other Paramount hits remain unclear, the show's stars and producers are confident the series will continue thriving.
