Yellowstone‘s reign on the streaming charts was interrupted by another Taylor Sheridan show. It’s been a solid year for a Sheridan-produced series lioness, Tulsa KingAnd Mayor of Kingstown They receive generally positive reviews for their final seasons. All three are likely to be renewed, with Zoe Saldana indicating there is still more to tell lioness. Stallone has hinted at the same thing Tulsa King. But even as his other dramas gain momentum, Yellowstone remains one of the biggest television shows and boasts record-breaking ratings.

There is great interest in the long-running Western because of the headlines surrounding the exit of lead actor Kevin Costner and how it led to the death of John Dutton. But there’s also an added element of uncertainty surrounding the series itself, particularly whether it will be renewed for season six or continue in the form of a sequel, which would reportedly focus on Beth, Kayce and Rip. The interest in the original is hard to imagine Yellowstone Characters will soon disappear, regardless of spin-offs and other Sheridan dramas that explore similar themes. But a newcomer is doing well.

Landman tops Reelgood’s streaming charts

Yellowstone comes in second

Reelgoodthat pursues the interest of the audience, reveals that Countryman has been suppressed Yellowstone for the top spot. Countrymanwhich streams Sundays on Paramount+, took the top spot across all platforms in the U.S. for the week of November 21-27. Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2, on Peacock, had taken first place the week before. But both series capture audience interest and trump some big titles. Other shows on the list include: Arcane, Don’t say anythingAnd The Day of the Jackal.

ReelgoodThis is the finding of the company, which uses first-party data from interactions with films and television shows on the platform in real time Sheridan takes the top two spots on the overall charts. Countryman And Yellowstone Get ahead of blockbusters Deadpool and Wolverine and solid hits like Alien: Romulus. On the television side, the two Sheridan shows outperformed the new Netflix comedy A man inside and the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama silo in addition to HBOs Dune: Prophecy. The top spot agrees with this Countryman has already broken viewership records, according to Paramount.

Paramount’s numbers are a combination of linear data from VideoAmp and internal data.

The new drama has snapped 5.2 million same-day cross-platform viewers for the first episode. This is the biggest premiere for a Paramount+ original in two years, taking the baton from Yellowstone Spin off 1923. Sheridan’s latest star-studded drama also stands out for being among and joining the top three biggest launches in Paramount+ history Tulsa King And 1923. This suggests that the prolific producer is one of Paramount’s biggest hitmakers and his new show is successfully based on an established formula.

What is Landman about?

It’s another all-star cast for a Sheridan show

Countryman based on the Boomtown Podcast, with the story unfolding as a class and cultural contrast between billionaires and everyday workers in West Texas. The adaptation delves into the world of fortune-seeking and oil rigs and is supported by an impressive cast led by Oscar-winning Billy Bob Thornton. He plays the titular oil company farmhand Tommy Norris, but he’s not the only familiar face in the cast. Sheridan, who co-created the series with Christian Wallace and wrote all ten episodes, assembled an impressive cast of relative newcomers, veteran cast members and beloved familiar faces.

With an ensemble that includes Andy García and Michael Peña in guest roles as well as the likes of Demi Moore and Jon Hamm, reviews for Countryman drew the obvious Yellowstone Comparisons. On Rotten Tomatoes, where the oil drama has a score of 76%, the consensus notes that the Paramount+ original “is largely in the same territory as other Taylor Sheridan-penned series, but with Billy Bob Thornton on hand, this Texas crude turns into highly watchable fuel.” That may speak for me Sheridan’s secret weapon is using the right actors to lead his projects.

Back to Yellowstonethat launched Sheridan’s TV boom starred two-time Oscar winner Costner. Tulsa King brought Stallone to the small screen while lioness has several acclaimed actors, be it Nicole Kidman or Morgan Freeman. 1923 features Harrison Ford in a dramatic role and the upcoming family saga The Madison With Michelle Pfeiffer. Countryman It’s essential to use familiar faces for a story that is both suspenseful and yet lighthearted.

Countryman Season 2 is yet to be confirmed. But if the series’ strong start continues, it would be very easy for the Norris family to become as big as the Duttons. The first possibilities are already there, even if Thornton’s protagonist is a completely different man than John Dutton.
