Taylor Sheridan Western Breaks Streaming Records on Paramount+ with 14.8M Views

Having broken streaming records after drawing in a whopping 14.8 million global views in its first two days on Paramount+, Taylor Sheridan’s latest Western series, Landman, is making quite the splash. The show, which has been praised as “great Dad TV” and inspired by the podcast Boomtown, is set in Texas and follows the journey of Tommy Norris as he navigates the fuel industry. With an early renewal for Season 3 already announced, it seems like Landman is here to stay – at least for a little while longer.

Despite the show’s success, Paramount+ faces a challenge as they are soon losing Taylor Sheridan to NBCUniversal. The deal Sheridan signed means that he will be moving on to new projects, leaving behind a successful run on Landman and two upcoming Yellowstone projects. While Landman has garnered an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, casual viewers seem to have mixed feelings according to the Popcornmeter. Critics praise the show for its watchability and suspenseful moments, but also note ongoing issues with character development.

Even with some mixed reviews, Taylor Sheridan’s success with Landman is undeniable, proving that he can ride the wave of viewer numbers all the way to a new deal with NBC.
