Sky Network Television and Paramount Global Content Distribution have struck an exclusive partnership, securing US drama, comedy, and kids’ content.

The deal ensures Sky remains the home of the "Sheridan-verse," including the upcoming Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals, starring Luke Grimes, set to premiere in early 2026.

The agreement covers exclusive access to new series from SHOWTIME®, Paramount+, and CBS, including highly anticipated Taylor Sheridan projects The Madison and Dutton Ranch. Beyond the Yellowstone expansion, Sky and NEON customers will receive a steady stream of originals such as The Agency: Central Intelligence, Girl Taken, and the return of a cult favorite with Dexter: Resurrection®.

“This is an expansive deal and represents a significant step forward in our entertainment strategy,” said Sophie Moloney, Sky chief executive.

The partnership also includes thousands of hours of library content, encompassing iconic franchises such as Billions, Ray Donovan, and Twin Peaks, alongside CBS procedural hits like FBI, CIA, and Boston Blue.

Kevin MacLellan, president, international and global content distribution at Paramount, recognised the strategic importance of the move.

“Expanding our relationship with Sky in New Zealand, allows us to bring an even wider range of proven IP and premium series to viewers in the market,” MacLellan said.
