Adam Blevins began working in the entertainment industry in 2022 as a Staff Writer for Agents of Fandom, where he progressed to Senior Editor and interviewed talent from Marvel Studios, House of the Dragon, and Planet of the Apes. He joined Collider as a News Author in April 2024, was promoted to a Senior position in December 2024, and has written over 3,000 articles for the site, including exclusives relating to Avengers: Doomsday, The Penguin, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and more. He primarily writes about the latest box office numbers and the hottest movies and TV shows on streaming, while also covering superhero and sci-fi news. He has completed a set visit for The Chosen and even has several months of experience writing Gaming Features at ScreenRant. You can find him on X, LinkedIn, and Muckrack.

It’s no secret that Taylor Sheridan is the king of Paramount+, and even after all his shows have gone off the air for now, he’s still dominating the streaming service with unprecedented success. At the time of writing, Sheridan-written shows occupy four of the top five spots on the Paramount+ global TV streaming charts. The #1 show on Paramount+ right now is South Park, but #2–5 are Landman, Tulsa King, Yellowstone, and Mayor of Kingstown, in that order. Even 1923, another Sheridan-written show, is hanging around on the back end of the top 10, currently sitting at #9.

The most popular Taylor Sheridan show on Paramount+ right now, Landman, just wrapped up its second season last weekend. The show stars Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter, and it’s already been renewed for a third season that’s confirmed to begin production in the next few months. Following behind Landman in the Paramount+ top 10 is Tulsa King, which stars Sylvester Stallone and Frank Grillo. Landman is more of a traditional neo-Western, while Tulsa King is more of a classic thriller set in the world of organized crime. The show, which also stars Neal McDonough and Garrett Hedlund, has also been renewed for another season.

Mayor of Kingstown features Marvel star Jeremy Renner, and just a few weeks ago, it was announced that the next season of the show would be its last. It’s been around for years now, so this didn’t come as that much of a surprise. Then there’s Yellowstone, which is still at #4 on Paramount+ charts over a year after going off the air. Its streaming resurgence can likely be credited to the two upcoming spin-offs that are set to arrive in March.

The Story of ‘Yellowstone’ Is Far From Over

Kevin Costner’s original Yellowstone series may have come to a close, but the story of the Duttons is far from over. To kick off March, CBS and Paramount will release Marshals, the new series following Kaycee Dutton (Luke Grimes), now that he’s left the Yellowstone ranch to become a U.S. Marshal. The show recently changed its name from Y: Marshals to just Marshals to distance itself from the original series. A few weeks after Marshals comes The Madison, a new series set around the same time as Yellowstone but following a new family. The Madison stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell.
