Overview
- Paramount+ says the Season 2 debut delivered 9.2 million global views in its first 48 hours, the service’s biggest original-series premiere, with views up 262% versus Season 1’s opener.
- The platform also reports a 320% jump in Season 1 viewing since the new season launched, signaling a strong catalog rebound tied to the return.
- Trade calculations translate the 49‑minute premiere into roughly 450.8 million minutes of viewing, based on standard runtime math.
- Third‑party signals are softer, with independent U.S. household tracking lower than the platform’s global figure and fan scores sliding on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Most principal cast return and Sam Elliott joins the season, the production leaned on AAPL consultation that also informed the one‑word title, and Paramount+ has not announced a Season 3 as weekly episodes continue on Sundays with Episode 2 due Nov. 23.
