I think Taylor Sheridan can do it all, and that now includes making a knife out of a toothbrush.
Simon & Schuster revealed Tuesday that it will publish the first book in its series Yellowstone creator, How not to die in prison. Until three years ago, Paramount owned Simon & Schuster; Until recently, Paramount also had Sheridan securely under its corporate umbrella.
How not to die in prison The publisher described it as “a hilarious and funny survival guide to life in a maximum security prison.” Sheridan never went to prison, but his co-author did. How not to die in prison Co-written with “hardcore prison ex-con” Tom Nelson, it will be published on June 23, 2026.
“There is no rule book for life in prison – yet. How not to die in prison “He teaches readers everything they need to know to survive, from how to survive a prison riot, lockdown, stabbing, beating, and solitary confinement to how to get a job, not go crazy, make ramen in prison, give prison tattoos, and (allegedly) make a shiv,” the description continues.
Sheridan’s personal attachment to anything close to it All of it It is a series starring Jeremy Renner Mayor of Kingstown.
“You may wonder what gives me the knowledge or wisdom to write a prison survival guide,” Sheridan wrote in the book’s introduction. “Well, I’ll tell you—nothing at all. I’ve never been to prison before. But, like any man, I certainly wondered how I would be able to survive if circumstances put me there. This morbid curiosity set me on a journey to understand the politics and dangers of prison. While searching for… Mayor of KingstownI learned very quickly that it was better to avoid going to prison than to know how to survive it.
“I wish I had listened to Taylor’s advice all those years ago and read the F*cking book, but that’s exactly the point: there was no fucking book to talk about because I had not yet climbed through the system and acquired the knowledge that my co-author currently refers to as wisdom,” Nelson wrote. “Hey, one of us has written hit TV shows and Oscar-nominated films, and the other has spent most of his adult life behind bars in medium- and maximum-security prisons. If that’s what leads to wisdom and entertainment, I’ll take it.”
Next month, Sheridan’s film deal moves from Paramount to NBCUniversal; His TV deal would follow in a few years. Overall, the NBCU contract has the potential to make Sheridan reach $1 billion.
Sheridan, a former actor, created a slew of successful films for Paramount, though none of them were of significant scale Yellowstone. Paramount made a huge mistake when it licensed the streaming rights to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming platform. Sheridan’s other shows include, all on Paramount+ Tulsa King And the next show Nola King, Yellowstone Prequels 1883 and 1923and Landman. There’s more where these came from.
His films include Wind River, Hired killerand Hell or high water.
