Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter at the season two premiere, Billy Bob Thornton, who plays oil crisis manager Tommy Norris, assured fans that Sheridan’s departure wouldn’t affect the shows already in place at Paramount. “I think the shows that are at Paramount, stay at Paramount,” he stated. “His deal is for the future… Taylor is a brilliant guy, and I’m sure wherever he goes, whatever he does is gonna be successful.”

Sam Elliott, joining the cast this season as Tommy’s father, echoed Thornton’s sentiment, emphasizing that Sheridan’s work at Paramount would remain unaffected. “It’s not gonna impact the future of this series because everything that Taylor had at Paramount is gonna stay at Paramount,” Elliott said. “The Universal thing, as I understand, it’s a whole new deal, so it’s just great for Taylor’s world. I think it’s fantastic.”
