Paramount's 114-Episode Military Action Thriller Is Officially 1 of 2026's Most Streamed Shows

Best known as the home for all of Taylor Sheridan‘s content, Paramount has been in the news recently thanks to its acquisition of Warner Bros. The merger is going to form a larger company that will soon be known as Skydance, but for now, fans will continue to head to theaters and different streaming platforms to check out productions from Warner Bros and Paramount. As for Taylor Sheridan, Paramount will only be the home of Sheridan content for another few years, as the Yellowstone writer has already inked a deal to leave the studio at the end of 2028. He will take his talents to NBCUniversal, meaning his shows will stream on Peacock. He does have two new movies in the works at Paramount, though, F.A.S.T. and the Call of Duty movie, which are coming to theaters in 2027 and 2028.

One of the most popular shows to emerge on Paramount Plus in the last few years has been SEAL Team, the war drama starring David Boreanaz that first premiered on the platform back in 2017. Seven years and seven seasons later, SEAL Team came to a conclusion during the summer of 2024, but the show is overstaying its welcome on platforms such as Paramount Plus and Netflix. More than two years after it went off the air, The Nielsen Company reports that SEAL Team pulled over 2 billion minutes watched during the month of September on Paramount Plus and Netflix. That’s easily enough to make it one of the most-watched shows of the month, and its audience only continues to grow as more discover the show years on.

The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.

You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.

You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

‘SEAL Team’ Writer is Taking Over a Taylor Sheridan Show

SEAL Team was written and created for TV by Benjamin Cavell, who is taking over as the writer and showrunner in Season 2 of Taylor Sheridan’s Dutton Ranch. Season 1 was written by Chad Feehan, who exited the series before a single episode of Season 1 ever hit streaming. Cavell also worked as one of the lead writers across every season of Justified, the hit Western crime series starring Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins. The show was written by Graham Yost, who is credited as the lead writer on Apple TV’s Silo.

Check out all seven seasons of SEAL Team on Paramount Plus or Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all the most-watched projects on streaming.
