Paramount Network's Yellowstone pulled in massive numbers with its Season 4 premiere.
According to Deadline, the premiere's Live+Same Day viewership was a staggering 8 million. This is the highest number for a cable series since an episode of AMC's The Walking Dead from 2018, and it also trumps the Season 4 premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones by 1.4 million.
"Taylor [Sheridan] has created a riveting world that our remarkable cast led by Kevin Costner brings to life in a way audiences can’t get enough of," MTV Entertainment Group CEO Chris McCarthy said. "The Yellowstone season four premiere numbers are just another reason why we are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Taylor and capitalize on this tremendous momentum by building out the Yellowstone franchise together."
Created by Sheridan and John Linson, Yellowstone premiered in 2018 and stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the proprietor of the Yellowstone/Dutton Ranch, which borders both national parks and Native American reservations.
Despite a mixed response from critics, Yellowstone proved popular enough to secure two spinoffs: 1883 and 6666. "Yellowstone is a massive hit show with tens of millions of fans – with 1883, we are taking those fans back to the origin story, and in the process, turning the Yellowstone world into a global hit franchise to fuel the growth of Paramount+," McCarthy said when Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill joined the cast of 1883. "We are thrilled to have Sam, Tim and Faith as the stars of Taylor Sheridan’s new series exclusively for Paramount+ around the world."
