It all started June 20, 2018 and it’s been great for the western retail world too.
Taylor Sheridan, Paramount, and NBC Universal are all being sued by a writer who claims Taylor Sheridan stole her idea for a TV show and used it to create “Yellowstone”. The timeline of her allegations add up too.
The writer says she submitted a pilot script, show bible, and pitch deck for a show called “Sovereign Nation” to Taylor’s reps in late 2016 and early 2017. She says “Yellowstone” used her plot details and casting recommendations.
She’s seeking damages and profits tied to the alleged copyright infringement and wants to stop future and continued infringement.
