Taylor Sheridan has become one of the biggest drivers of Paramount+ viewing, and at this point, that barely counts as a surprise. Lioness has held the number one spot since its third season premiered on Aug. 2, 2026, drawing a series-best 7.1 million viewers in its first week. The finale is now lined up for Sept. 20, 2026, with the cast openly promising a cliffhanger. As recently as last week, five of the ten most-watched series on the service worldwide were created by Sheridan.
