Streaming viewership data for September 2026 reveals a strong performance for Paramount TV Studios titles. Nielsen reports that three of the studio's series placed in the top four for original streaming content.

The Prime Video series Reacher secured the number one position. It recorded 4.6 billion minutes of viewing among people aged two and older between September 1 and September 30. The show stars Alan Ritchson, with Nick Santora serving as showrunner.

Two other Paramount productions tied for third place. The Reacher spinoff Neagley and the Paramount+ series Lioness each accumulated 3.3 billion minutes of viewership. Neagley released its entire first season on September 16. Lioness, which stars Zoe Saldaña, is produced by Paramount TV Studios and 101 Studios.

Warner Bros. TV's Ted Lasso took second place with 3.6 billion minutes of viewing. Season 4 of the Apple TV+ show is the only non-Paramount title in the top four. Netflix's Monster: Lizzie Borden ranked fifth with 3.1 billion minutes.

Paramount TV Studios also reported success in live television. Its CBS series Marshals premiered its second season on October 4. According to live plus seven multiplatform data, the show was the number one entertainment series for that week across both broadcast and streaming platforms.
