AceShowbiz - The Marshals series premiere made a major impact, drawing more than 20 million viewers across all platforms during its debut week starting March 1. This impressive total made Marshals the highest-rated show on television for the week of February 23 to March 1, according to Nielsen’s multi-platform ratings.

Specifically, the Yellowstone spinoff attracted 20.6 million viewers over seven days in the United States. This figure was more than double the 9.52 million viewers who watched the initial CBS broadcast and surpassed any other series by a margin of six million viewers in that timeframe. The majority of the additional audience came from Paramount+ streaming, which accounted for approximately 11.08 million views after the original airing.

Network television shows continued to dominate the top 20 list for that week, with only two streaming series — Netflix’s Bridgerton and HBO Max’s The Pitt — making the cut. It’s important to note that the rankings only include shows that released new episodes during this period. For example, popular Netflix series like The Night Agent are excluded because their full seasons debuted prior to February 23.

The end of February saw relatively few new streaming premieres, with Bridgerton launching the second half of its fourth season and Hulu debuting the second season of Paradise as the main highlights. Bridgerton’s four new episodes attracted 12.1 million viewers in seven days, placing it third on the list. Meanwhile, the February 26 episode of The Pitt drew 8.7 million viewers on HBO Max.

On the network side, CBS’s Tracker ranked second for the week with 14.4 million cross-platform viewers over seven days. Other notable shows rounding out the top five included the premiere of Survivor 50 with 9.1 million viewers on CBS, and the return of Scrubs to ABC, which drew 9 million viewers.

The full top 20 list of shows across all platforms for the week of February 23 to March 1 highlights the continuing strength of network programming alongside select streaming successes.
