Taylor Sheridan is actively expanding his signature franchise, Yellowstone, even as his legendary tenure at Paramount nears its end and the flagship show concluded in 2024. Prior to the end of Yellowstone, Sheridan had already launched two critically acclaimed prequels, 1883 and 1923, which delved into the history of the Dutton family.

The post-Yellowstone era has continued this aggressive expansion with new followup series. Initially, there were reports that Sheridan's series The Madison would be set within the same universe, but following news of his departure from Paramount in 2029, it was confirmed that The Madison had no ties to the Yellowstone franchise.

However, other new shows have indeed expanded the universe. The latest is Dutton Ranch, set to premiere on Paramount+ in just over one week, on May 15. This highly anticipated series will feature characters from the original Yellowstone flagship show, including Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, alongside new cast members Annette Bening, Ed Harris, and Jai Courtney. Dutton Ranch is expected to take over as the platform's leading series within the Yellowstone universe.

Marshals, a prequel to Yellowstone, is proving that ratings and reviews don’t always align.

The series, which premiered March 1 on CBS, follows Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton in a more traditional crime procedural format. That shift hasn’t landed well critically, with a 42% critics’ score and 27% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite this,Marshalshas remained one of the most watched titles on Paramount+ for over 60 days, according to FlixPatrol highlighting strong viewer demand.

The result: a Season 2 renewal, underscoring a simple industry reality viewership still trumps critical
