Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind the Yellowstone franchise, has launched a blunt attack on the leadership currently running Hollywood. In a wide-ranging appearance on The Bill Simmons Podcast, the writer and producer argued that the modern entertainment industry is failing because key decision-makers lack genuine storytelling experience.
Sheridan contends that studio and network executives often rise through marketing or legal departments rather than creative ones. He believes this professional history leaves them ill-equipped to judge scripts, resulting in a culture of panic where executives try to control every detail because they do not understand how to develop a narrative.
