Paramount’s controlling shareholder Shari Redstone preferred to keep the company together in a sale, but that outcome appears less and less likely.
The sale of a company as large as Paramount Global is a highly involved process. The company’s primary shareholder Shari Redstone’s haste to do business with David Ellison and Skydance Media led to an exclusive negotiating period regarding a merger, but on May 3 that window ended without a deal. Now, Paramount executives have moved on to considering a $26 billion offer from Sony and their private equity partner Apollo Global Management. There has been a significant amount of talk regarding the regulatory issues that would face Sony and Apollo in their attempt to get control of Paramount, but new details surfacing this week indicate many of those concerns will be made irrelevant, as Sony and Apollo plan to sell off assets that would otherwise potentially run them afoul with government officials.

During his recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Taylor Sheridan shared his thoughts about Tom Hanks’ Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump. The showrunner shared his criticism regarding the implausible premise and unrealistic portrayal of the film’s protagonist, describing the movie as overly simplistic and didactic.

However, the revelation comes as a surprise considering Hanks made a cameo appearance in the spin-off of his hit western drama, 1883. Singer-actor, Tim McGraw shared the details of how the miniseries managed to secure a cameo from the Oscar-winning actor, despite Sheridan’s conflicting opinions on his iconic movie.
Tom Hanks’ Surprising Cameo in the Yellowstone Spin-off
The success of the Western drama Yellowstone has been followed by several spin-offs. Starring Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, the 2021 miniseries 1883 serves as the first spin-off, which follows the post-Civil War era of the Dutton family’s journey to establish the Yellowstone Ranch in Montana.

Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western drama series Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner in the lead, became a runaway success with audiences and critics thanks to the actor-turned-writer’s sharp screenplay and story. Encouraged by the reception, the Veronica Mars star went on to create two prequels to the series namely 1883 and 1923, which traced the ancestry of the Duttons and the Yellowstone ranch.

In an interview, Sheridan spoke of the effort and detail involved in the production design of the series.

Word cropped up about a potential team-up of Paramount+ and Peacock in February, but Paramount CEO Bob Bakish neglected to inform his superiors about the talks.
Consumers who follow the streaming world were surprised earlier this year by news that Paramount had engaged with NBCUniversal regarding a potential team-up of their streaming services Paramount+ and Peacock. Speculation became rampant about what a deal could look like, and what it would mean for the future of an industry that will almost certainly need to experience some consolidation to survive moving forward. But, a new report from The Wall Street Journal explains why those discussions never went any further, and how they could have contributed to the anticipated ouster of Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish.

The revised offer has been presented to the Paramount board as Skydance tries to gain the approval of company shareholders.
There may not be a need for an investor revolt at Paramount Global to try and stop the company from merging with Skydance Media. Multiple shareholders have raised questions about a plan for Skydance to pay Paramount's controlling shareholder $2 billion for her stake in the company, which caused concern because of its potential to dilute the shares of every other Paramount stakeholder.

Taylor Sheridan has made a massive name in television after making Yellowstone for Paramount Network. The neo-Western series starring Kevin Costner has been running for five seasons with numerous spin-offs attached to it. It is commendable that most of the Yellowstone content is written by Sheridan himself. However, his approach was a bit different initially.
Kevin Costner in Yellowstone
Taylor Sheridan did not think about writing most of the series himself from the start. Initially, he wanted to borrow the style of the Arrowverse co-creator Greg Berlanti. Unfortunately, the concept of a writer’s room did not work for Sheridan and he took on the task of telling the tales to the audience the way he wanted.
Why did Taylor Sheridan’s plan for a writer’s room for Yellowstone fail?

If Skydance and Paramount exit their exclusive negotiating period without a deal, Sony and Apollo could be ready to step up.
Will there someday be a “Succession“-style show dedicated to the sale process of Paramount Global? The amount of twists and turns the saga has taken in the past few months could make for compelling television, and now a new wrinkle has emerged. The New York Times reports that Sony Pictures Entertainment is discussing the possibility of a joint bid to acquire Paramount with Apollo Global Management, which has unsuccessfully attempted to purchase Paramount multiple times in the past.
One possible deal structure would see Apollo serve as minority partner, with Sony in majority control of Paramount. Apollo lodged a $27 billion bid for Paramount but was rebuffed as Paramount entered into exclusive negotiations with Skydance Media. The two companies cannot make an official offer to Paramount until it exits...

Today, Paramount+ announced that production is underway on the highly anticipated Tulsa King Season 2, which will star Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone.
Executive-produced by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan, the comedy is set to film in Oklahoma and Atlanta. Multi-award nominee Craig Zisk will direct and executive produce.
Academy Award nominee Terence Winter is slated to return as writer and executive producer. Tulsa King Season 2 is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios exclusively for Paramount+.
Tulsa King continues to be one of Paramount+’s most-watched series of all time, ranking second only behind Sheridan’s 1923. The show’s premiere in November 2022, coupled with the NFL on CBS, set a new record for subscriber growth in a single day since Paramount+’s launch and was the most-watched series on the service while in season.
Season one of Tulsa King will air on CBS this summer before season two launches this fall.

The latest content cuts at Paramount’s streamer could be a sign that a deal to acquire its parent company may be drawing close.
It’s been a rough year for Paramount’s reputation as a provider of kids content. In February it was announced that the company was laying off the entire staff of its kids streaming service Noggin ahead of that streamer’s eventual shutdown, and now reports are circulating that Paramount+ has removed 10 Nickelodeon original series as part of its ongoing attempts to rationalize the content on the streaming platform.
Shows removed include 2021’s “Rugrats,” 2019’s “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” and others. In its fourth quarter 2023 10-k filing, Paramount indicated such content cuts were coming.

Shari Redstone holds Paramount’s ultimate fate in her hands, and appears to be narrowing her focus to David Ellison’s offer for the company.
Another day, another update on the potential sale of Paramount Global. Earlier this week, it was reported that the private equity firm Apollo Global Management had offered $11 billion for Paramount’s TV and movie studios, which constitutes a greater sum than the entire company’s current market cap. But a new report from the Financial Times suggests that Paramount’s controlling shareholder Shari Redstone is not convinced by the offer, and is leaning toward a bid by billionaire David Ellison, owner of Skydance Media.
Redstone prefers to sell Paramount as a whole company, as opposed to stripping it for parts and selling it piece by piece. Ellison may bring in former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell and former CNN head Jeff Zucker to run cable and...

Paramount will have to seriously consider this latest bid to purchase some of its assets.
There’s seemingly too much smoke around Paramount and its discussions with other companies regarding mergers and acquisitions for it not to eventually lead to some fire. The Wall Street Journal is stoking those flames yet again by reporting that Apollo Global Management is offering $11 billion to acquire Paramount’s TV and movie studio, which is more than the market capitalization of the entire Paramount Global company, which also includes multiple TV channels, merchandising, and more.
Key Details: Apollo’s interest in Paramount was first reported earlier in March. Acquiring just Paramount’s studios would allow Apollo to sidestep regulatory concerns regarding CBS.

Apollo is a private equity firm that could end up pursuing some or all of Paramount’s assets, including streamers like Paramount+.
While there haven’t been any official statements, Paramount is still listening to offers behind the scenes. That’s confirmed by a new report from Axios, which reveals that a special committee formed by Paramount has been contacted about a possible takeover by the private equity firm Apollo Global Management. The news makes Apollo the fourth entity to have publicly reported interest in getting its hands on at least some of Paramount’s assets.
Apollo could pursue a full acquisition of Paramount or just some of the items on its list of assets. The firm could see pushback from regulators thanks to local CBS stations if talks proceed. Warner Bros. Discovery, billionaire media mogul Byron Allen, and a group led by Skydance Media’s David Ellison have also shown varying degrees of interest.

“Yellowstone” Season 5 has seen more drama behind the scenes than in front of the camera. Since the first half of the megahit modern Western’s fifth season ended on January 1, 2023, Paramount Network has announced that the series is ending after Part 2 and will be succeeded by a new sequel series that will potentially star Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The series is ending in large part because of a bitter conflict between star and executive producer Kevin Costner and the studio – more on that below – and at this point, co-creator and showrunner Taylor Sheridan is reportedly planning to finish the show without Costner’s involvement.
And there are also smaller bits of drama, like Sheridan’s company, Bosque Ranch, suing star Cole Hauser for trademark infringement over Hauser’s coffee company’s logo, and Hauser and his co-stars Kelly Reilly and Luke Grimes in reportedly tense, take-it-or-leave-it negotiations with Paramount...

When it comes to corralling viewers, Taylor Sheridan is hardly all hat, no cattle. The ultra-prolific writer-director’s Yellowstone universe shows and his other Paramount+ dramas perform quite strongly, helping to heavily prop up the streamer with its 63 million subscribers. Naturally, however, some shows outpull others. Here, The Hollywood Reporter takes a closer look at all the titles Sheridan has wrangled so far and how they’ve fared during their rollouts.
Yellowstone Streaming minutes viewed (season 5): 5.58 Billion
Total episodes: 47 | Rotten Tomatoes: 84%
The show that started it all. Sheridan’s Montana-set dynastic crime drama/soap opera gradually addicted so many fans over the course of five seasons, it became the biggest hit on cable TV. First the show found an audience on Paramount Network, then popped again when it shifted to streamer Peacock, and it still had enough giddyap for censored reruns on CBS to pull in 6.8 million viewers...

Actor Sam Elliott is regarded as one of the most talented actors in the industry who is also known for his full mustache and deep & sonorous voice. The actor appeared in the Western drama miniseries 1883 created by Taylor Sheridan. The miniseries serves as the first of several prequels of Sheridan’s Yellowstone and goes into detail of how Duttons came to own the land which is now known as Yellowstone Ranch.
The ten-episode long limited series was released in December 2021 and to introduce the prequel to the audience of Yellowstone viewers, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill appeared on Yellowstone. The stars appeared as James and Margaret Dutton in a flashback scene. 1883 followed the story of the post-Civil War generation of the Dutton family and their journey to Fort Worth, Texas before settling in Montana. Sam Elliott starred as Shea Brennan and had a very surprising opinion when it came to Yellowstone.

After the season finale on February 27, 2022, much like its original series Yellowstone, fans and audiences had great anticipation for 1883 season 2. Created by Taylor Sheridan, 1883 quickly became the standard of what a good spin-off show should look like. With the ever-growing love for the Dutton family, 1883 was created as a Yellowstone prequel showing how the family came to own the ranch. 1883 took audiences on an emotional rollercoaster. The 10-episode season 1 had its fair share of action, humor, and drama. By the end of 1883 season 1, several of its main characters had been...

After what has been an incredibly predictable awards season for television in the last month with all the previous ceremonies checking “Succession,” “The Bear” and “Beef” down the line, it would make sense to presume that the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend will just follow the herd and honor the same champs. But lest we forget, we have seen time and time again where SAG-AFTRA does their own thing and sometimes yields surprising results, stopping some actors and shows in their tracks that have been on a roll. Read below for some recent shocking TV winners at the SAG Awards and what it could mean this year.
Beginning with last year’s ceremony, the two limited series/television movie acting winners were way off course of who was expected to triumph. For best actress, Amanda Seyfried was sweeping all the televised awards for “The Dropout” and was expected to complete the run with SAG,...
