Yellowstone‘s reign on the streaming charts has been cut short by another Taylor Sheridan show. It’s been a solid year for a series produced by Sheridan, with Lioness, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown getting generally positive reviews for their latest seasons. Yellowstone still remains one of the biggest television shows, boasting record-breaking ratings.
There’s a lot of interest in Yellowstone because of the headlines surrounding lead star Kevin Costner’s exit and how that led to the death of John Dutton. But there’s also the added element of uncertainty around the series itself, specifically whether it will be renewed for season 6 or continue in the form of a sequel show. It’s hard to imagine the interest in the original Yellowstone fading anytime soon, regardless of spinoffs and other Sheridan dramas that trade on similar themes. But a new arrival is putting up a good fight.
Landman Tops Reelgood’s Streaming Charts
Yellowstone Comes In Second
Reelgood, which tracks audience interest, reveals that Landman has edged out Yellowstone for the top spot. Landman, which streams Sundays on Paramount+, had the top spot for the week of November 21 through to November 27, across all platforms. Yellowstone season 5 part 2, on Peacock, had been in the top spot for the week prior. But both series are capturing the interest of audiences and beating out some big titles.
Reelgood’s ranking uses first-party data from interactions with movies and TV shows on the platform in real-time from Reelgood’s users in the United States.
Holding the top two spots on the overall charts, Landman and Yellowstone come ahead of blockbusters like Deadpool & Wolverine and solid hits like Alien: Romulus. On the television side, the two Sheridan shows beat out the new Netflix comedy A Man on the Inside and the Apple TV+ sci-fi drama Silo in addition to HBO’s Dune: Prophecy.
What Is Landman About?
It’s Another Starry Cast For A Sheridan Show
Landman is based on the Boomtown podcast, with the story unfolding as a class and cultural contrast between billionaires and everyday workers in West Texas. The adaptation promises to dive into the world of fortune-seeking and oil rigs, helped along with the support of an impressive cast that’s led by the Oscar-winning Billy Bob Thornton. He plays the titular landman at an oil company, Tommy Norris, but he’s not the only familiar face in the ensemble.

With an ensemble that also includes the likes of Demi Moore and Jon Hamm, reviews for Landman have drawn the obvious Yellowstone comparisons while noting the different setting and focus. Based on the ratings for the new Sheridan series and the early indicators of streaming success, it’s a formula that works for the prolific television creator and producer.
