On the Filming of Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan Allegedly Pushed His Crews to the Limit According to New Revelations

What happens when the man behind Yellowstone treats both crews and studios like they work for him? The answer could redraw power lines in Hollywood.

Behind Yellowstone’s wide-open vistas, the real battles were over who held the reins. As Taylor Sheridan readies an exclusive film pact at NBCUniversal, his break with Paramount is coming into focus, marked by disputes with new owner David Ellison and a reputation for tight control over scripts and production. The tensions surfaced in a paused renewal for Special Ops: Lioness, a rejected Capture the Flag script, and early resistance to F.A.S.T. with Warner Bros. What happens next could redraw the map for Yellowstone and the rest of Sheridan’s empire once the current contracts run out.
