- Reacher topped Nielsen's September 2026 original streaming series ranking with 4.6 billion minutes viewed among viewers 2+ from Sept. 1 through Sept. 30, 2026, produced by Paramount TV Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.
- Neagley released its entire first season on Prime Video on Sept. 16 and finished No. 3 with 3.3 billion minutes, produced by Paramount TV Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.
- Lioness tied for No. 3 with the same 3.3 billion minutes while airing on Paramount+, making it the only one of Paramount's three top-four shows not on Prime Video.
- Ted Lasso Season 4 was the only non-Paramount series in the top four, ranking second on Apple TV with 3.6 billion minutes for Warner Bros. TV.
- Monster: Lizzie Borden premiered Sept. 17 and grabbed No. 5 with 3.1 billion minutes, putting Netflix inside the top five.
- Marshals premiered Season 2 on CBS on Oct. 4 and was the week's No. 1 entertainment series across both broadcast and streaming in live+7 multiplatform data.
- Nick Santora showruns "Reacher" and co-showruns "Neagley" with Nicholas Wootton — the shows star Alan Ritchson and Maria Sten — while Taylor Sheridan is among the exec producers of "Lioness" starring Zoe Saldaña.
Why it matters: Paramount TV Studios claimed three of the four top positions in Nielsen's September original streaming rankings, with "Reacher" alone at 4.6 billion minutes. That puts a single studio's slate ahead of Warner Bros. TV's "Ted Lasso" at 3.6 billion and Netflix's "Monster: Lizzie Borden" at 3.1 billion, while spreading the studio's reach across Prime Video and Paramount+.
