In a stunning display of creative dominance, Taylor Sheridan currently has five separate series charting simultaneously on Paramount+, according to the latest streaming data for April 2026. This remarkable feat underscores the writer-producer's unparalleled influence at the platform, even as his long-term future there is set to conclude. Sheridan's partnership with Paramount will officially end in 2029, when he begins a new overall deal with NBCUniversal, following unsuccessful negotiations with Paramount's new leadership.
The Sheridan Streaming Juggernaut
Sheridan's relationship with Paramount began nearly a decade ago and was cemented by the explosive success of Yellowstone. That modern Western phenomenon not only became a ratings juggernaut but spawned an entire franchise and paved the way for Sheridan's subsequent hits. His ability to craft compelling, gritty dramas has made him the cornerstone of Paramount+'s original programming strategy for years.
The current chart domination is led by the latest expansion of the Yellowstone universe. Holding the number two spot is Marshals, a new offshoot designed specifically for television, unlike its streaming-first predecessors. The show's performance is particularly notable given its mixed critical reception, proving that Sheridan's brand power with audiences remains immense.

A Lineup of Hits
Following closely behind is The Madison, a project initially conceived as part of the Yellowstone franchise but ultimately launched as a standalone six-episode season earlier this year. The original Yellowstone series itself continues to draw massive viewership, landing in the top five. Rounding out Sheridan's chart presence are two other major successes.
Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone as a displaced New York mobster building a new empire in Oklahoma, sits comfortably at number six. The crime thriller has aired three successful seasons, with a fourth and a planned spin-off on the horizon. Its unique blend of crime and character drama has drawn comparisons to other hits; for a show that mixes a similar vibe with British flair, see Guy Ritchie's 'MobLand' Blends 'Tulsa King' & 'Peaky Blinders' for Paramount+ Domination.
The fifth and final Sheridan title on the leaderboard is Landman, a neo-Western starring Billy Bob Thornton. Now in its second season, the series continues to deliver strong numbers for the platform, demonstrating Sheridan's consistent touch across multiple projects.
The End of an Era and What's Next
This chart domination comes with a bittersweet note for Paramount+. Sheridan's impending departure to NBCUniversal in 2029 marks the end of a profoundly lucrative era. Paramount famously took a chance on Yellowstone after several other networks passed, a gamble that paid off spectacularly. In preparation for Sheridan's exit, Paramount has already moved to secure other major talent, signing the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) to an overall deal to develop new series and films.
Despite the looming change, Sheridan's pipeline at Paramount+ is far from empty. The upcoming release of the latest Yellowstone sequel, Dutton Ranch, is expected to generate significant buzz and could easily add a sixth Sheridan title to the streaming charts in the coming months. For now, audiences can binge all of Sheridan's current hits on Paramount+, witnessing the peak of a partnership that redefined the streamer's identity.
This level of chart control by a single creator is rare in the streaming world, placing Sheridan in a league of his own. As platforms compete fiercely for subscriber attention, Paramount+ is enjoying the final chapters of a deal that provided a steady stream of must-watch content. Sheridan's next act at NBCUniversal will be one of the most closely watched transitions in the industry.
