After a month of waiting for more Taylor Sheridan, following the explosive July 3 finale of the Yellowstonespin-off Dutton Ranch, Paramount+ subscribers finally got their wish with the third season arrival of the creator’s most thrilling series. Lionessmade a massive splash on its return, immediately rising to the top of the streaming charts as people make the most of what could be Zoe Saldaña‘s last outing as Joe McNamara, after initially committing to a three-season deal to star and executive produce.
Fan favorites, including Morgan Freeman,Nicole Kidman,Michael Kelly, and LaMonica Garrett, all return in Lioness Season 3, alongside Saldaña, with the opening episode, “The Spider and The Fly,” scoring a huge 9.0/10 on IMDb. The “show’s newest season could easily become its best yet,” said ScreenRant’s Cher Thompson in a review of the newest batch of Lioness episodes, with this just one of many reviews helping Season 3 hit an 82% rating from critics on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as well as a near-perfect 95% from audiences so far.
But with Lioness airing weekly, Sheridan fans will be hunting for their next streaming binge. Well, after it officially arrived on the platform at the start of the month, it seems the fans of the Western genre have been tucking into one of the genre’s most famous flops. Will Smith‘s sci-fi Western bomb Wild Wild West, inspired by a television series from the 1960s, is currently one of the ten most-streamed movies on Paramount+ in the U.S., a list topped by Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.
Collider Exclusive · Taylor Sheridan Universe Quiz Which Taylor Sheridan Show Do You Belong In? Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown
Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

⚖️Mayor of Kingstown
01
Where does your power come from? In Sheridan’s world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind.
02
Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan’s universe is always absolute — and always costly.
03
Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.
04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.
05
How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt.
06
What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they’re defending.
07
How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.
08
Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.
09
What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal.

When it’s over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan’s characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind.
Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
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.

🛢️ Landman
👑 Tulsa King
⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown
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.
What is ‘Wild Wild West’ About?
From Men in Black director Barry Sonnenfeld, and also featuring Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek, and Kenneth Branagh,Wild Wild West might’ve been a critical and commercial disaster back in 1999 — making just $221 million against a bloated production budget of $175 million — but it’s bouncing back 27 years later. This blend of sci-fi, Western, and comedy follows President Ulysses S. Grant (Kline) as he looks to avoid an assassination attempt by recruiting Civil War hero James West (Smith).
Wild Wild West is a streaming hit on Paramount+ right now. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.
