Taylor Sheridan's growing Western franchise is now a streaming juggernaut.
Yellowstone and its respective sequels have become massive streaming successes around the world as one show reaches its halfway point. The Western franchise has been popular ever since the original show began airing on Paramount Network in 2018. Since then, there have been four additional Yellowstone TV shows, with at least two more currently in development. This includes the acclaimed prequel shows 1883 and 1923, alongside two sequels following legacy characters that take place after the events of the main series.
Now, FlixPatrol reports that Yellowstone and its sequel shows have become the Top 3 streaming TV shows on Paramount+ across the world. According to data from June 10, 2026, Dutton Ranch, which recently reached the halfway point of season 1, is Number 1 in the world on the platform. This includes reaching Number 1 in 22 countries, including the United States. Yellowstone comes in at Number 2, an impressive feat given its absence from Paramount+ in the US. Marshals, a sequel following Kayce Dutton that airs on CBS, is Number 3, as well as Number 1 in Australia.
The success of all three Yellowstone shows featuring characters from the original series showcases a continued global interest in the franchise. Although Yellowstone ended in late 2024, the series has managed to keep up momentum thanks to its ongoing spinoff shows. While this began with the prequels, showcasing historical figures among the Dutton family line, the sequels seem to have cemented the franchise as an ongoing success for Paramount+. Reviews for Dutton Ranch have been especially positive, breathing new life into the franchise with Beth and Rip's story.
As for Marshals, although the series hasn't earned as many positive reviews from critics, the ongoing spinoff focused on Kayce has maintained steady viewership. This has resulted in Marshals season 2 already being greenlit, with CBS intending for the follow-up to be longer than the 13-episode debut season. As for Beth and Rip's attempt at building a new life together, the show has yet to be officially renewed. However, given its placement at the top of Paramount+'s listings, it seems poised to continue.
This is only the beginning of Yellowstone's expansion following the end of the main series. Taylor Sheridan is developing two other spinoff that have yet to go into production, but are expected to come out before he departs Paramount at the end of 2028. This includes another prequel, 1944, which will follow the Dutton family on the original ranch during this time period. Another is 6666, focusing on the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which Sheridan owns in real life.
As Dutton Ranch continues to air and as Marshals keeps up the momentum, it appears the Yellowstone franchise has a bright future ahead of it despite the main series ending. Both of the ongoing sequel shows have managed to draw in a wide audience from around the world, something that could speak to the longevity of the series. As it continues to expand, perhaps it will keep seeing this level of unprecedented success around the world.
CBS Sets Fall Dates for ‘Marshals,’ ‘Survivor’ and More
CBS has set its fall premiere dates, and as has been the case for the past few seasons, most of the network’s lineup will launch in early October.
Reality staples Survivor and The Amazing Race will debut a bit earlier, as will 60 Minutes. But all of CBS’ scripted series are set to premiere over six days starting Oct. 4. Marshals and Tracker — the two most watched shows on network TV last season, excluding live sports — are up first that night, remaining in the Sunday night spots they occupied last season.
FBI and CIA follow on Oct. 5, with each show moving up an hour (to 8 and 9 p.m. ET/PT) from their spots last season as CBS eliminated its Monday comedy block for 2026-27. True crime show Harlan Coben’s Final Twist follows at 10 p.m.
An all-NCIS lineup remains on Tuesday nights starting Oct. 6, with newcomer NCIS: New York sandwiched between the flagship series and prequel NCIS: Origins. CBS’ two other new fall series, comedy Eternally Yours and drama Cupertino, premiere Oct. 8 along with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and Elsbeth. Ghosts and Matlock are set for midseason premieres, but a pair of Ghosts specials will air on Oct. 29 and Dec. 10 tied to Halloween and Christmas. The Friday lineup of Sheriff Country, Fire Country and Boston Blue debuts Oct. 9.
