“Dutton Ranch” is off to the races at Paramount+, with the “Yellowstone” spinoff pulling in the biggest series launch in the streamer’s history.
Per Paramount data, the first two episodes of the series reached 12.9 million views within seven days of their release, with both episodes dropping on May 15. That is well beyond the previous holder of the record for biggest Paramount+ launch, which was the 8.8 million views achieved by the series premiere of “Mobland” in 2025.
Paramount also aired the first two episodes of “Dutton Ranch” on linear network Paramount+ as a two-episode event. According to Nielsen data, the two episodes averaged 2.9 million total viewers across the night.
This is the latest Paramount+ viewership success for a Taylor Sheridan project. The “Yellowstone” mastermind’s series “The Madison” starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell debuted to 8 million views in March. Likewise, “Landman” Season 2 nabbed 9 million views when it premiered in November 2025.
“Dutton Ranch” continues the story of Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) following the events of the “Yellowstone” series finale. In the series, the couple purchase a ranch in South Texas and try to leave the troubles of Montana behind, only to discover more trouble waiting for them down south.
The cast of Season 1 also includes Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, Ed Harris, and Annette Bening.
Chad Feehan created the series and served as executive producer and showrunner on Season 1 but will not be back for Season 2. The show is based on characters created by executive producers Sheridan and John Linson. Dutton Ranch is also executive produced by David C. Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, Reilly, Hauser, and Keith Cox. In addition to executive producing, Voros also directed multiple episodes this season. Greg Yaitanes, Jessica Lowrey, and Phil Abraham also served as directors this season. The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios.

The Euphoria S3 premiere had better numbers than S2 https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/euphoria-season-3-premiere-ratings-1236723567/
"Euphoria" season 3 premiere drew 8.5 million viewers across HBO and HBO Max
It's been off for so long, people were curious. And to my knowledge it has never left the top 10 on HBO Max since it premiered. Will be interesting to see how the next weeks will look.
Does miku watch anime?
miku fun fact #308
we cannot be sure what she gets up to in her free time, but we suspect she's watched every single show (including anime) at least once.
Will Sesame Street bring back Herry monster AND an actress who is deaf, just like they had with Deaf actress Linda Bove in the 1970's?
It's time. ...in 2026, it's all about inclusion.
Include children on Sesame Street who are Deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate as well as children who wear hearing aids, and or cochlear implants...have them star on the shows on tv to be shown a daily basis, not just once in a while.
It shouldn't be just American and Spanish languages. Children can learn up to 5 different languages.
There are 22 million people with some kind of hearing loss. Let's include American Sign Language. 22 million people may be happy to watch these new shows. I'm 59 and I still love Sesame Street but I'm disappointed by their lack of American Sign Language.
People who don't accept or encourage American Sign Language are actually oppressors. Audism is a very dirty word. 😔
22 million, that's a lot of viewership and merchandise sales. Herry monster's character image mixed with American Sign Language 🤟 will surely create more sales for Sesame Street.
It seems to be a win-win for Sesame Street, hope these ideas get noticed!
Let's go Herry monster and Sesame Street!
🤟☺️💜🤟🚦🛣️👍🙂🦻💙👍
