Taylor Sheridan is facing a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by TV writer Lauren J. Salkin in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. According to the court filing, Salkin alleges that Sheridan stole the idea for his hit series 'Yellowstone' from her pitch.
Salkin claims she submitted a pilot script and additional materials for a prospective television show titled 'Sovereign Nation' to Sheridan's management company. This submission reportedly occurred prior to Paramount greenlighting 'Yellowstone,' which ultimately featured strong thematic and structural similarities.
