Nielsen: Tracker Returns to 8 Million Viewers, Slips From Top Scripted Spot
CBS's Tracker drew more than 8 million viewers in its return, but a close rival has taken the most-watched scripted series title, per Nielsen data cited by Collider.
CBS's Tracker returned last week with more than 8 million viewers, but a close rival has overtaken it as the most-watched scripted series in the US, according to Nielsen data reported by collider.com.
The procedural stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton and airs on CBS, setting it apart from past installments of the Yellowstone franchise, including this year's Dutton Ranch.
Taylor Sheridan's output remains heavily represented on Paramount's global top-10 chart this week, with five shows he is involved with charting. Tulsa King Season 4 was delivered this week, a few weeks after Lioness Season 3 arrived.
A busy year for the franchise
Earlier in 2026, the Yellowstone franchise expanded with two new shows Sheridan was not directly involved in; both were hits, and one returned for a second season. Sheridan also recently moved to Universal, which had seemed a blow to Paramount.
