Taylor Sheridan reportedly clashed with Paramount’s new leadership before he decided to leave the studio and sign an NBCUniversal deal reportedly worth $1 billion.

According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, the “Yellowstone” creator, 55, had multiple disagreements with Paramount’s new CEO, David Ellison, following the company’s recent merger with Skydance Media.

Ellison — a close ally to President Donald Trump — reportedly suggested a series tied to America’s 250th anniversary next year, but Sheridan allegedly pushed back and said he didn’t want want to make a show “too politically charged.”

Despite “Yellowstone” being branded a conservative show, Sheridan previously told The New York Times that he was “apolitical publicly” and wanted to show all sides of the political spectrum.

The Wall Street Journal’s sources also claimed that there were disputes between Sheridan and Paramount over the budget for Sheridan’s spy thriller “Special Ops: Lioness” starring Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldana.

Kidman, 58, got pulled into the drama after Paramount allegedly cast the Oscar winner in a separate series, “Discretion,” without consulting Sheridan. The move allegedly created potential scheduling conflicts for Kidman, which Sheridan took as “a lack of respect” for his projects.

Paramount also reportedly rejected one of Sheridan’s film scripts, which further splintered their relationship.

The Post has reached out to Paramount, Sheridan and Kidman for comment.

The Hollywood Reporter also offered insight into Sheridan’s exit from Paramount, claiming that Ellison, president Jeff Shell and Paramount Pictures co-chairs Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein flew to Texas after the Skydance/Paramount merger was finalized in August to convince Sheridan he was “in good hands” with the new leadership.
