Taylor Sheridan‘s streaming dominance is clear as three of his original series are now leading the charts on Paramount+, highlighting his ongoing impact on television in 2024. The acclaimed creator, known for both his film and television work, continues to cement his position as a top storyteller, with new records set across major platforms.
Sheridan’s Rise and Paramount+ Successes
Taylor Sheridan initially entered Hollywood as an actor on “Walker, Texas Ranger,” but his breakthrough came when he wrote the script for Denis Villeneuve‘s film “Sicario.” Following the success of “Sicario,” Sheridan’s writing credits expanded to include movies like “Hell or High Water” and “Wind River,” establishing him as a versatile creator who easily transitions between film and television.
“Yellowstone,” starring Kevin Costner, is widely considered his most acclaimed series and stands among the decade’s most successful shows. However, it is his three subsequent series—“Landman,” “Tulsa King,” and “Mayor of Kingstown”—that have propelled Sheridan’s name to new heights in streaming. Each show claims a top spot on Paramount+, with “Landman” standing out as the current most popular show on the platform and through Amazon Prime Video’s streaming channel for Paramount+. “Mayor of Kingstown” holds strong, ranking third on both platforms, while “Tulsa King,” featuring Sylvester Stallone, ranks fourth directly on Paramount+ and seventh through Amazon Prime’s channels.
Fan Response and Show Performance
When “Landman” was first introduced, skepticism surrounded whether it could live up to the “Yellowstone” standard. Initial reviews were mixed, but since its premiere, audience perceptions have shifted positively, making it one of Sheridan’s standout series after “Yellowstone.” “Tulsa King” continues to draw viewers with Sylvester Stallone’s signature charisma, maintaining its status as a fan favorite. “Mayor of Kingstown,” with Jeremy Renner in the lead, has been more divisive but manages to maintain a committed audience as it moves through its fourth season.
Upcoming Projects and Spin-offs
Taylor Sheridan remains exceptionally active, balancing multiple roles as a writer, actor, and producer, and currently has eleven projects underway. Fans can expect returns for several popular series, with “Tulsa King,” “Landman,” and “Lioness” all confirmed for new seasons. On top of that, Sheridan is expanding the “Yellowstone” universe with new spin-offs in development.
The most anticipated among them is “The Dutton Ranch,” which centers on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler’s efforts to preserve their family’s legacy. The series will see Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprise their roles as Beth and Rip. Production for “The Dutton Ranch” is underway with a projected release in 2026, though a specific date has not yet been disclosed.
Sheridan is also working on another prequel series, “1944,” which, as its name suggests, is set during that year and is reported to focus on a member of the Dutton family. Details for “1944” remain limited, and the show is currently in pre-production without an announced premiere date.
