Taylor Sheridan Paramount Plus Shows Streaming

Yes, all of Taylor Sheridan’s shows are available to stream on Paramount+, the streaming service he co-created with ViacomCBS. This includes his flagship series Yellowstone (on Paramount Network, but also streaming on Paramount+ in many regions), and his original series made exclusively for the platform: 1883, 1923, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, and the upcoming Landman. If you want to watch any of these shows, Paramount+ is the primary home.

The Sheridan Universe on Paramount+

Taylor Sheridan is one of the most prolific creators in television today, and Paramount+ is the streaming home for nearly all his work. The service is a joint venture between Paramount Global and Sheridan’s production company, 101 Studios. This partnership means that when you subscribe to Paramount+, you get access to a growing library of Sheridan’s projects, both new and classic.

Here’s a quick list of what you can watch right now:

Yellowstone – The flagship drama starring Kevin Costner, which has spawned multiple spinoffs. Seasons 1-5 are available on Paramount+ (in the U.S., the show airs on Paramount Network, but the streaming rights are held by Paramount+).
1883 – A prequel series following the Dutton family’s journey west, starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill. It’s a limited series and is fully available.
1923 – Another prequel, set in the early 20th century, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Season 1 is out, and Season 2 is expected.
Tulsa King – A crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone as a mobster exiled to Oklahoma. Season 1 is streaming; Season 2 is in production.
Mayor of Kingstown – A gritty drama about the prison system in a Michigan town, starring Jeremy Renner. Two seasons are available.
Lioness – A CIA thriller starring Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. Season 1 is streaming.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves – A standalone series about the legendary U.S. Marshal, starring David Oyelowo. It’s a limited series, fully available.
Landman – A drama about the oil industry in West Texas, starring Billy Bob Thornton, set to premiere in late 2024.

Note that availability can vary by country. In some regions, Yellowstone is not on Paramount+ because the rights are held by other networks or streaming services. Always check your local Paramount+ library.

How to Watch on Paramount+

To stream these shows, you need an active Paramount+ subscription. The service offers a few tiers:

Essential (with ads) – This is the cheapest plan, but it does not include your local CBS live stream and has limited offline downloads.
Paramount+ with Showtime (no ads) – This plan includes the ad-free experience, CBS live stream, and offline downloads. It also bundles in Showtime content.

You can sign up directly on the Paramount+ website or through app stores on your smart TV, phone, tablet, or gaming console. Once subscribed, you can watch on up to three devices simultaneously, and create up to six profiles. The service supports 4K UHD and HDR on select titles, including many of Sheridan’s shows.

Why Are Sheridan’s Shows Only on Paramount+?

The reason is simple: Sheridan has an exclusive overall deal with Paramount Global. This means any new series he creates is first offered to Paramount+ (or its sister networks like Paramount Network). This is a strategic move by Paramount to compete with other streaming giants like Netflix and HBO Max. By locking in a prolific creator like Sheridan, they ensure a steady stream of high-quality, original content that keeps subscribers coming back.

This deal also explains why Yellowstone, which originally aired on the Paramount Network (a cable channel), is now also streaming on Paramount+. The network and the streaming service are both under the same corporate umbrella, so they share content.

Common Streaming Problems and Fixes

Like any streaming service, you might run into issues. Here are a few common ones and how to solve them:

Buffering or poor quality – Check your internet connection speed. Paramount+ recommends at least 5 Mbps for HD. Restart your router, or lower the streaming quality in the app settings.
Can’t find a specific show – Use the search function. If a show isn’t appearing, it might not be available in your region. Try using a VPN (if allowed by the service) to see if it’s available elsewhere, but note that this may violate the terms of service.
Login issues – Reset your password, and make sure you’re using the correct email. If you’re using a smart TV, try deleting and reinstalling the app.
Audio out of sync – This is often a temporary glitch. Try restarting the app or your device. If it persists, update the app to the latest version.

Comparing Paramount+ to Other Services

If you’re deciding whether to subscribe to Paramount+ just for Sheridan’s shows, it helps to compare it to alternatives. While other services like Netflix, Hulu, or Peacock have their own original dramas, none have a dedicated library from a single creator like Sheridan. If you’re a fan of his gritty, neo-Western style, Paramount+ is the only place to get it.

However, if you’re not a fan of his work, you might find the rest of Paramount+ library less compelling. It does have a large catalog of CBS shows, classic movies, and some originals like Star Trek: Discovery and Halo, but it’s not as vast as Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. The value proposition depends on how much you value Sheridan’s content.

Cost and Subscription Details

As of 2024, Paramount+ pricing is competitive. The Essential plan is around $5.99/month, and the Premium plan (with Showtime) is around $11.99/month. You can also save by paying annually. There are often promotional deals, especially during major events or new show premieres. Keep an eye out for bundle offers that include Paramount+ with other services like Apple TV+ or Walmart+.

There’s no contract, so you can cancel anytime. If you’re only interested in one show, you can subscribe for a month, binge, and cancel. But with multiple Sheridan series, you might want to keep it for a few months.
