Taylor Sheridan’s Career-Defining Western Shatters a Prime Video Record 1 Year After Ending

Taylor Sheridan

Hardly a day goes by when Taylor Sheridan‘s neo-Western series Yellowstone isn’t on one streaming/PVOD leader board or another. The series is a fixture on the Prime Video and Paramount+ charts, more than two years after coming to an abrupt end. Yellowstone remains the flagship show on the Paramount+ roster and has inspired two successful spin-offs, with several more around the corner. Headlined by Kevin Costner, whose escalating beef with Sheridan became about as interesting as anything in the show towards the latter seasons, Yellowstone recently passed a major milestone. According to FlixPatrol, it completed 600 days on the domestic Amazon charts this week, continuing its groundbreaking run.

The show originally aired from 2018 to 2024, during which both Sheridan and Costner found themselves climbing to the pinnacle of Hollywood popularity. Costner had experienced success like this before, when he was making and starring in blockbuster movies in the 1990s. Yellowstone reinvigorated his career, which caused complications between him and Sheridan, whose exacting nature was quickly becoming the talk of the town. On the back of Yellowstone‘s success, Sheridan created a handful of other shows for Paramount+, all of which became hits. Mayor of Kingstown, the crime drama starring Jeremy Renner, recently returned for its fourth season, while Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone, has aired three seasons so far, with a fourth and a spin-off on the way.

Taylor Sheridan Has a Tremendous Track Record

The Oscar-nominated Sheridan is also responsible, at least partially, for the shows Lioness and Landman. The Yellowstone franchise includes the already-completed prequels 1883 and 1923, with Marshals and The Madison around the corner. Yellowstone, however, remains his crowning achievement — a show that prompted rival platforms to green-light anything that resembled it even vaguely. The show holds an overall 83% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, peaking in Season 3 at 100%. Last year, a change in Paramount leadership led Sheridan to sever ties with the studio and sign a deal with rival NBCUniversal, which will begin in a couple of years. Until then, you can watch his groundbreaking shows at home and wait for his return to the big screen with the action movie F.A.S.T. next year.
