Yellowstone’s reign on the streaming charts has been cut short by another Taylor Sheridan show. It’s been a solid year for a series produced

by Sheridan, with Lioness, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown getting generally positive reviews for their latest seasons. All three are

likely to be renewed, with Zoe Saldana indicating that there is more story to tell for Lioness. Stallone has hinted at the same for Tulsa King.

 

 

But even as his other dramas build momentum, Yellowstone remains one of the biggest television shows and boasts record-breaking ratings.

There’s a lot of interest in the long-running Western because of the headlines surrounding lead star Kevin Costner’s exit and how that led to the death of John Dutton. But there’s also the added element of uncertainty around the series itself, specifically whether it will be

 

 

renewed for season 6 or continue in the form of a sequel show, which would reportedly focus on Beth, Kayce, and Rip. It’s hard to imagine the interest in the original Yellowstone characters fading anytime soon, regardless of spinoffs and other Sheridan dramas that trade on similar themes. But a new arrival is putting up a good fight.

 

 

Reelgood, which tracks audience interest, reveals that Landman has edged out Yellowstone for the top spot. Landman, which streams Sundays on Paramount+, had the top spot for the week of November 21 through to November 27, across all platforms in the US. Yellowstone season 5 part 2, on Peacock, had been in the top spot for the week prior. But both series are capturing the interest of audiences and beating out some big titles. Other shows on the list include Arcane, Say Nothing, and The Day of the Jackal.

 

 

Reelgood, which uses first-party data from interactions with movies and TV shows on the platform in real-time, finds that Sheridan holds the top two spots on the overall charts. Landman and Yellowstone come ahead of blockbusters like Deadpool & Wolverine and solid hits like Alien: Romulus. On the television side, the two Sheridan shows beat out the new Netflix comedy A Man on the Inside and the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Silo in addition to HBO’s Dune: Prophecy. The top-ranking matches with the fact that Landman has already broken viewership records, according to Paramount.

The new drama nabbed 5.2 million cross-platform same-day viewers for its first episode. This marks the biggest premiere for a Paramount+ Original in two years, taking the baton from the Yellowstone spinoff 1923. Sheridan’s latest starry drama also has the distinction of being in the top three for the biggest launches in Paramount+ history, joining Tulsa King and 1923. It speaks to the fact that the prolific producer is one of the biggest hit-makers for Paramount, with his new show successfully leaning on an established formula.
