For three years running, Paramount+ has practically revolved aroundTaylor Sheridan’s brand Western sagas, war sagas, and crime sagas. FromYellowstoneand its several prequel shows, including1883, then1923, to his oil magnate thriller series,Landman, the CIA yarnSpecial Ops: Lioness, and Sylvester Stallone-ledTulsa King, it has been impossible to spit without flecking on the shoes of one of Sheridan’s babies in the Paramount+ Top 10. However, it looks like that streak is finally over, as the Grand Duke of Paramount+ has only one entry on the chart right now.
Week after week, at least four Sheridan creations dominated the service’s Top 10, but currently only the recent release of1923is hanging in at number six, while the top of the chart is now headed up by CBS seriesFire Country, and Tom Hardy’s new crime sagaMobLandin first and second place, respectively. Having seen Sheridan’s work constantly at the top of the charts, seemingly forever, this changing of the guard is a reminder that nothing lasts forever in the world of streaming - even for the mighty Taylor Sheridan.
10 Reasons Taylor Sheridan’s “American Frontier” Is the Best Movie Trilogy of the Past Decade
Not only have these films been celebrated by audiences and critics alike, but they also make up the best trilogy of the past 15 years.
Fire Countryis a procedural about Californian firefighters, and joined Paramount+ as a retrospective addition following its original airing on CBS. With a spinoff series now taking shape, it is possibly not surprising that fans have taken the opportunity to binge their way through the available episodes now that they are available on demand.
MobLand, meanwhile, arrived on Paramount+ as a high-profile gritty gangster drama from Guy Ritchie and starring British heavyweight Tom Hardy. The series did not quite live up to expectations of critics, but soared on its debut, immediately landing the number one position for several days.
Is Taylor Sheridan’s Reign Over at Paramount+?
The combined success ofFire Country, MobLand, and several other popular titles doesn’t mean Sheridan’s empire is in danger;1923is still going strong on the charts, and despiteYellowstonebeing at an end, Sheridan has several more spinoffs already in the works. Even without his sprawling Western saga, Sheridan’s name is also attached to second seasons ofLandmanandLioness, as well as the third season ofTulsa Kingin production. Add in Jeremy Renner vehicle,Mayor of Kingstown, and those waiting for Sheridan’s downfall are going to have to wait a lot longer for that outcome.
Sheridan’s output hasn’t slowed in recent years, and he has built himself quite an empire at Paramount. Even though there have been recent suggestions that Sheridan’s time with the streamer could be in jeopardy as they look toreduce budgets and cut costs- to the reported disgruntlement of their cashcow creator - if the worst did happen at Paramount+, it would not take long for him to find a new home with another streamer very quickly.
