Donna Langley signs Taylor Sheridan to NBCUniversal film deal
NBCUniversal Entertainment chair Donna Langley secured a new agreement with creator Taylor Sheridan at an event on Thursday.
Langley targets film opportunities
Langley stated she began discussions after identifying disruption and instability within the current market. She noted that Sheridan held a first-look deal for television but lacked similar strength in film. Her team focused on improving his film component to create a competitive advantage.
Deal timeline and terms
The new film arrangement is expected to become active in 2026. Sheridan must finish his existing contractual obligations with Paramount before the television portion of the agreement starts in 2028. The negotiations took place during a period when other major studio mergers were concluding.
