Los Angeles: Taylor Sheridan is developing a prequel series to his critically-acclaimed show “Yellowstone” for Paramount Plus. Sheridan, who created and executive produced the Kevin Costner-starrer “Yellowstone”, has struck a massive new overall deal with ViacomCBS and MTV Entertainment Group for multiple new series, reported Deadline.
Under the pact, Sheridan will create exclusive multi-platform content with MTV Entertainment Studios and his”Yellowstone”partner 101 Studios, delivering five seasons of new or returning series every year exclusively for the ViacomCBS brands, including Paramount Network, Paramount Plus and CBS. “Yellowstone”, which started in 2018, follows the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in the United States.
