Taylor Sheridan, creator of 'Yellowstone', has secured a significant pay raise in his switch to NBCUniversal, despite claims that the move is not about money.
Sheridan's move from Paramount to NBCUniversal is one of the biggest talent acquisitions of the decade in the entertainment industry. His hit show 'Yellowstone' transformed the fortunes of Paramount Global, earning Paramount+ over 80 million new subscribers.
A series of disagreements between Sheridan and the new management at Paramount, following its acquisition by David Ellison's Skydance, led to Sheridan finding a new home for his services.
Money reportedly is not the main reason for his move.
Sheridan's prolific writing and directing career has been marked by significant successes, including the transformation of 'Yellowstone' into a cable hit.
