Summary
Michael Kelly said he would join “anything” Taylor Sheridan creates, calling the “Lioness” creator “one of the greatest storytellers” and “fricking brilliant” in comments to ScreenRant.
The praise comes as Season 3 of Paramount+’s CIA drama “Lioness” is airing, with Kelly saying he loves “saying your words” and working in Sheridan’s orbit.
Sheridan’s pull is reflected in the talent attached to his projects, including Kevin Costner, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Jeremy Renner and Billy Bob Thornton.
More broadly, Sheridan’s rise from “Yellowstone” to a wider TV and film empire has culminated in a reported NBCUniversal deal worth more than $1 billion.
