Worldwide is known for its many successful series, HBO has no flair. The American cable channel is particularly distracted by Soprano and Game of Thrones, and now we offer a video game adapted to the last of us. But HBO could also play Yellowstone, as it revealed by the creator of the Taylor Sheridan series.
In an interview with the magazine Cowboys & IndiansThe American screenwriter spoke about the difficulties in finding the broadcaster. After delivering the scenario of the first two episodes, Sheridan finally learned that the chain had been removed from the project.
No one wants to see that … except for millions of viewers
“When I asked them why, they answered,“ No one wants to see it. No one wants to see the series on this topic. ” He recalls bitterly. In another interview Hollywood reporterTaylor Sheridan delivers an even more detailed version of the reasons presented by the chain to justify its withdrawal about the project:
We are HBO, we are in the foreground, we are starting trends. This impresses the return. Frankly, I will be sincere: I don’t think anyone should live there. It should be a park or a similar thing.
The success of Yellowstone has allowed the development of this small channel
Thus, an American screenwriter found another studio to publish his series. In the end, it was the most important thing that was most interested in the fact that Taylor Sheridan offered the deal as soon as possible. Problem: At that time the paramount network was just a cable channel for a confidential audience.
At this time, Paramount was really trying to transform himself, from a small chain to the bonus on the cable chain. But I really couldn’t believe it. (…) They were looking forward to doing so and it was as difficult as I said as expensive and demanding. But they trusted. There have been several times, I think where their heads were hosted and closed. But they never said stopping.
The rest of the story is now known to everyone. Yellowstone has become one of the greatest successes of American television in recent years. Two spinshits have already emerged in -1883 and 1923, and at least four manufactured series are currently in development. Once, HBO was wrong: yes, Yellowstone was really a series that people wanted to see!
You can see the five seasons of the Yellowstone now on Paramount+.
