Paramount is set to lose its most prolific television creator, Taylor Sheridan, who has signed a long-term film and television deal with NBCUniversal.
The five-year overall deal, which begins January 1, 2029, will cover film, TV, and streaming. Sheridan's current overall TV deal with Paramount will end in 2028.
This is a shocker that underscores the high stakes and intensity of the new era in the talent wars.
