Taylor Sheridan Reveals the $350M Reason He Officially Said Yes to Paramount

With as many as four shows — Yellowstone, Lioness, Dutton Ranch, and Tulsa King — charting simultaneously on the global Paramount+ viewership charts, Taylor Sheridan is a genre unto himself. The television mogul started out as an actor and then transitioned to screenwriting when he realized that he wasn't getting the kind of roles he wanted. His career as a writer seemingly peaked with an Oscar nomination for Hell or High Water, but that was only the beginning. Over the subsequent decade, Sheridan established himself as one of the most successful producers in Hollywood, and he did it all out of his Texas ranch, playing entirely by his own rules. In a new profile on Town & Country, Sheridan spoke about his passion for ranching and how he supports it by being one of the hardest-working writers in the business. He also looked back on his early struggles and recalled being homeless at one time.
