Yellowstone<\/em><\/a> creator Taylor Sheridan<\/a> has struck a new deal with NBC<\/a>, and the potential profit for him is staggering.<\/p>\n According to Deadline<\/a><\/em>, Sheridan has reached a deal with NBCUniversal that covers all of his upcoming projects in both television and film.<\/p>\n Deadline<\/em> reports that Sheridan’s new deal could net him as much as $1 billion, but it’s not guaranteed.<\/p>\n Sheridan is reportedly planning to create 20 new shows as part of his new deal.<\/p>\n If he does so, then the creator, executive producer and writer fees, in addition to his participation in back-end profits, could reach the $1 billion mark.<\/p>\n Paramount is where Taylor Sheridan made his career, beginning with the runaway success of Yellowstone<\/em>. He’s followed that up with a slate of hit shows that include Tulsa King<\/em><\/a>, 1883<\/em><\/a>, 1923<\/a><\/em>, Landman<\/em><\/a>, Lioness<\/em> and more, becoming one of the most prominent showrunners in Hollywood in the process.<\/p>\n However, Deadline<\/em>\u00a0writes that Sheridan has felt less appreciated at Paramount since the new studio head, David Ellison, took over.<\/p>\n He’s reportedly been frustrated that executives have been taking a more active role in his work, sending him notes on scripts, rejecting one proposed project entirely and threatening to cancel Lioness<\/em> unless he agreed to a more limited budget.<\/p>\n His frustration led him to entertain other offers, with NBCUniversal reportedly winning because of how actively they pursued the deal, as well as the extraordinary financial offer they made.<\/p>\n Sheridan’s existing slate of shows at Paramount do not appear to be part of his new deal, which will cover his upcoming work.<\/p>\n Ongoing hits including Landman<\/em>, Mayor of Kingstown<\/em> and Tulsa King<\/em> could conceivably continue with another showrunner after Sheridan departs, along with upcoming shows that are already in production, which include a Yellowstone<\/em> spinoff titled The Madison<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong>: Everything We Know About The Madison<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Sheridan’s exact net worth is not public information, but various sources place it between $70 million and $100 million.<\/p>\n However, his current deal with Paramount is reportedly worth $250 million, and the writer-director-producer also has his hand in a number of merchandise ventures, so those estimates may be low.<\/p>\n See who passed on Yellowstone<\/em> and how it ended up working out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhat Is Taylor Sheridan’s New Deal With NBC?<\/h3>\n
