Taylor Sheridan, known for his role as a leading creator at Paramount+, is set to leave the platform following a lucrative deal with NBCUniversal. This move is poised to reshape the streaming dynamics as Sheridan’s creations have significantly contributed to Paramount’s content library.
Confirmed Transition Timeline
Under the new agreement, Sheridan’s film deal with NBCUniversal will commence in 2026, while his television deal will begin on January 1, 2029. This timeline indicates a strategic shift for both Sheridan and NBCUniversal, as they look to leverage his storytelling prowess to enhance the offerings on Peacock.
Impact on Paramount+ Programming
Despite Sheridan’s departure, several of his shows will remain on Paramount+. Notably, Yellowstone, which has become a flagship series for the platform, is already available on Peacock. However, other notable titles like Landman and 1923 will continue to stream on Paramount+.
Key Shows Remaining on Paramount+
Among the shows that will stay on Paramount+ are:
- Mayor of Kingstown – A crime drama centered on a mediator in a town dominated by gangs and law enforcement, renewed for a fifth and final season.
- Landman – Featuring Billy Bob Thornton as an oil landman, this series is inspired by the Boomtown podcast and explores the oil industry’s complexities.
- Tulsa King – Starring Sylvester Stallone, this show follows a mafia member adjusting to life in Tulsa after prison.
- 1883 and 1923 – Prequels to Yellowstone, these series delve into the Dutton family’s history and struggles.
- Lioness – A CIA-focused drama featuring Zoe Saldaña, which diverges from Sheridan’s typical Western themes.
- Lawmen: Bass Reeves – Although not created by Sheridan, he serves as an executive producer on this series based on the first Black U.S. Marshal.
Future Developments
While Sheridan is expected to continue working on Paramount+ shows until his contract ends, new spin-offs from Yellowstone are already in the pipeline, including Marshals, The Madison, and Dutton Ranch, all scheduled for release in 2026.
