Taylor Sheridan Gains Streaming Popularity on Platforms Beyond Paramount+

Taylor Sheridan is currently experiencing notable streaming success on Amazon Prime Video, shortly after ending his long-standing relationship with Paramount+. His two shows, Landman and Mayor of Kingstown, have secured prominent positions on the domestic Prime Video charts this week. This transition follows changes in Paramount+’s management and ownership, prompting Sheridan to move his projects to a rival platform.

According to FlixPatrol data, Landman ranked as the second-most-watched show on Prime Video domestically, just behind the video game adaptation Fallout. Meanwhile, Mayor of Kingstown, featuring Jeremy Renner, also charted despite being lower in the rankings. This series recently premiered its fourth season and, although it initially received mixed reviews, its critical reception has steadily improved over time.

Streaming Performance and Audience Reception

Mayor of Kingstown debuted with a 33% score on Rotten Tomatoes but now enjoys a perfect 100% rating for its latest season. Collider’s Jeff Ewing described this season as the "show’s best yet," highlighting Sheridan’s growth in serialized storytelling. Conversely, Landman faces challenges with audience approval, holding a low 43% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes despite a 77% critics’ rating and the "certified fresh" label.

Sheridan’s Expanding Streaming Footprint

Taylor Sheridan’s impact extends beyond these new titles. He is the creative force behind several successful shows that have anchored Paramount+, including Yellowstone and its spin-offs 1923 and 1883. Other projects like Lioness and Tulsa King have further cemented his reputation for crafting compelling neo-Western narratives. His distinctive storytelling and artistic control have earned him an Oscar nomination and a strong industry presence.

Moving Forward on Prime Video

Both Landman and Mayor of Kingstown are now available on Prime Video, signaling Sheridan’s strategic pivot to diversify his streaming partnerships. This move might influence how high-profile creators negotiate with platforms amid evolving streaming landscapes. Observers are keen to see how Sheridan’s future projects will perform as he embraces new distribution avenues outside of Paramount+.
