Yellowstone is a national park. Yellowstone may be a national treasure — or at least, the drama series is to the new Paramount Network.
With its Season 1 finale looming on Wednesday, the first series developed by the rebranded cable channel has averaged 5.0 million total viewers each week, per Nielsen’s most current ratings, which counts seven days of delayed viewing where available. That makes it the second most-watched series on all of cable television, behind only AMC’s Walking Dead.
It also makes Yellowstone the channel’s most-watched series ever — and that includes the network’s Spike TV days. No wonder Paramount already renewed its prized pony.
In terms of ratings, Yellowstone has averaged a 1.42 among adults 18-49, which is the demographic most-coveted by advertisers.
