Streaming Ratings: ‘1923’ Finale Hits Series High
- The season two finale of 1923 on Paramount+ attracted a record-breaking 14 million viewers worldwide, marking a 41 percent increase from the first season finale in February 2023.
The season two finale of 1923 brought in the show's largest audience ever.
Paramount+ says the Yellowstone prequel closed its season with 14 million viewers worldwide over seven days. That's a 41 percent improvement over the 10 million for first season finale in February 2023.

Of note, what Paramount+ calls "viewers" comes from the same formula — total viewing time divided by run time — other streamers use to call "views." With or without the "er," that math, in 1923' s case, yields the equivalent of 14 million complete runs of the season finale, which stretched to two hours . That would put its total viewing time at 1.68 billion minutes worldwide.
Paramount+ also says that season two of 1923 grew by about 46 percent from season one. It joins Landman and Tulsa King as the streamer's top three original series to date. All three shows come from MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Taylor Sheridan's Bosque Ranch Productions; Sheridan is the creator or co-creator of each series.
In the United States, 1923 was the fifth most streamed show or movie in March, according to Nielsen. The series racked up 3.9 billion minutes of watch time over the ratings over the month (the reporting period also included the last few days of February), although finale figures are not included in that total as it debuted on April 6.
Sheridan executive produces 1923 with David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Ben Richardson, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox.
