Lioness is emblematic of how powerful Sheridan has become in the TV space. The three programs that won Lioness for the debut album are Halo, King of Tulsaand 1923. Two of these three titles, 1923 and King of Tulsawere also created by Sheridan, meaning he has rights to most of Paramount+’s top shows.
