Taylor Sheridan may never produce another series as wildly popular as \u201cYellowstone.\u201d NBCUniversal will not suddenly steal away the rights to \u201cYellowstone\u201d from Paramount. But the changing of the guard that will result in Sheridan taking his services from Paramount to NBCUni is seismic all the same because his name brand is more valuable than almost any individual IP he\u2019s created.<\/p>\n

As Puck first reported on Sunday night, Sheridan intends to strike a new overall deal for both film and TV with NBCUniversal once his commitments to Paramount are completed. Sheridan\u2019s film deal with Paramount expires in March and his new film deal with Universal will begin next year, and he\u2019s tied up with Paramount on the TV side until 2028, at which point he\u2019ll then be able to start making shows for NBCUni. He\u2019ll still be expected to stay plenty busy with Paramount until that time, but his time making a mountain of entertainment for Paramount has an end date.<\/p>\n

Paramount and NBCUniversal each declined to comment for this story.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shocking coup for a few reasons. For one, Paramount\u2019s new CEO David Ellison recently fawned praise over Sheridan as his new company\u2019s top creator, calling him a \u201csingular genius\u201d with a \u201cperfect track record.\u201d \u201cMy goal is to have Taylor call Paramount his home for as long as he wants to be telling stories,\u201d Ellison told CNBC in August.<\/p>\n

Paramount too since it merged with Skydance is the one that has been doing the poaching. One of the new regime\u2019s first major deals was to woo the Duffer Brothers away from Netflix, offering them the chance to make culture-defining movies for theaters in a way Netflix would\u2019ve been reluctant to offer. James Mangold signed an overall deal with Paramount and will now call it home for years to come. It was also unafraid to bring back Will Smith<\/a> and Johnny Depp<\/a> from Hollywood jail and make them the face of new franchises. Paramount even locked up \u201cSouth Park\u201d creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker for $1.5 billion, because it would be a blow if they walked out the door too.<\/p>\n
