Paramount Networks hit western drama Yellowstone has surpassed viewing records for any show currently on television, earning three spots on the Digital Entertainment Groups list of top 20 most-watched. Yellowstone earned the lists second, 11th, and 19th spots. The modern-day ranch show is the No. 1 series on television right now, including broadcast and cable.

More than 14 million viewers tuned in to Yellowstones season four premiere on Sunday, the most-watched premiere on cable since a 2017 episode of AMCs The Walking Dead. The show gained popularity for its non-polarizing message, focusing on rural America and small-business USA instead of divisive political affiliations.

Over 14 million viewers tuned in for our Yellowstone premiere, which will now serve as a massive launch pad as we sneak episodes of Taylor Sheridans new series Mayor of Kingstown, whose full season will be rolling out exclusively on Paramount Plus starting Sunday, said CEO of MTV Entertainment Group Chris McCarthy. Taylor has created a cinematic experience that our remarkable cast led by Kevin Costner brings to life in a way audiences cant get enough of and we are excited to deepen our relationship with him and capitalize on this tremendous momentum by building out the Yellowstone franchise together.

The four-season show is only available on cable television. According to Philos streaming insights, Yellowstone attracted audiences near Montana (where the show is filmed), Wyoming, and agriculturally-based cities. Since its 2018 premiere, the show has drawn a groundbreaking audience.

The show stars Oscar winner Kevin Costner who plays a Reagan-era Republican, as well as Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, and Kelsey Asbille, and was created by John Linson and Taylor Sheridan.
