Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ Reign Over?

by

For three consecutive years, Paramount+ has primarily focused on series based on Taylor Sheridan‘s brand of Western, war, and crime sagas. From hit shows like Yellowstone and its prequels such as 1883, 1923, to the oil magnate drama Landman, the spy thriller Special Ops: Lioness, and Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone, it seemed like you couldn’t avoid bumping into one of Sheridan’s creations in Paramount+’s Top 10. However, this run may have come to an end as the network currently only has one show from him on the list.

For several weeks running, no less than four shows created by Taylor Sheridan consistently ranked among the Top 10. However, at present, only his latest production, 1923, is holding steady at position six. Meanwhile, the summit of the chart has been taken over by an unnamed CBS series and Tom Hardy’s new crime drama, which are currently in first and second place respectively. This shift in dominance serves as a reminder that in the realm of streaming services, not even the enduring success of Taylor Sheridan is immune to change – even the mighty Taylor Sheridan must yield eventually.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but express my excitement about diving back into “Fire Country,” a gripping procedural set amidst the Californian firefighters. After making its debut on CBS, it found a new home on Paramount+ as a thoughtful addition to their lineup. With a spinoff series in the works, it’s no wonder fans like me are seizing the chance to immerse ourselves in the series all over again, now that we can watch it at our leisure on demand.

Meanwhile, MobLand made its grand entrance onto Paramount+ as a hard-hitting gangster drama from director Guy Ritchie and featuring powerhouse British actor Tom Hardy. The series, despite not meeting all critics’ expectations, saw tremendous success upon release, quickly claiming the top spot for several days straight.

Is Taylor Sheridan’s Reign Over at Paramount+?

The triumph of Fire Country, MobLand, and various other hit series doesn’t imply that Sheridan’s dominion is in peril; 1923 continues to thrive on the rankings, and although Yellowstone has concluded, Sheridan has numerous spinoffs already underway. Moreover, Sheridan’s influence extends to the second seasons of Landman and Lioness, as well as the ongoing production of Tulsa King. The addition of Jeremy Renner’s project, Mayor of Kingstown, means that those anticipating Sheridan’s fall may have a long wait ahead.

In recent years, Sheridan’s productivity has remained robust, and he has successfully established a domain at Paramount. However, there are rumors that his tenure with the streaming service may be under threat as they aim to trim expenses – allegedly causing dissatisfaction from their lucrative content creator. If unfortunate events were to transpire at Paramount+, it’s likely that Sheridan would swiftly secure a new platform for his work.
