Take a look at Taylor’s successful career behind the camera.
In February 2021, Taylor renewed his deal with Viacom/CBS in the nine-figure range, with estimates stating it was around $200 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The agreement came one year into his three-year pact and extended his deal for five additional years through 2028, per the outlet.
“Taylor Sheridan is a visionary creative whose work has reinvented genres and amassed fan bases around the globe. We couldn’t be more excited to build upon our partnership with him, expand the Yellowstone universe and showcase Taylor’s boundless talent across all of our brands and platforms,” Viacom/CBS said in a statement at the time.
Taylor’s lucrative career as a television creator is impressive.
In 2018, Taylor co-created, wrote, directed, and executive-produced the highly popular western series Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner. The success of that series led to additional shows in the franchise, the prequels 1883 and 1923, led by Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.
Alongside those shows, Taylor is also the creator of Mayor of Kingstown, the Sylvester Stallone fan-favorite series Tulsa King, Landman starring Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, and Lioness with Zoe Saldana.
In a 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Taylor opened up about his career and successful transition. “I was a fair actor, but that’s all I was ever going to be,” he told the outlet at the time.
“Hollywood will tell you what you’re supposed to do if you listen. If you’re banging your head against the wall for 20 years trying to be an actor, maybe you shouldn’t be an actor. But the first thing I ever wrote [the pilot for Mayor of Kingstown in 2011] got me meetings at every major network, at every agency. I had multiple people trying to buy it.”
