The debut of Marshals achieved a remarkable viewership of over 20 million in the United States within seven days of its March 1 premiere. This performance secured its position as the week's most-watched television series across all platforms, based on Nielsen's multi-platform ratings for Feb. 23-March 1. The Yellowstone spinoff's total viewership of 20.6 million more than doubled its initial 9.52 million on-air audience.
Streaming on Paramount+ is believed to have significantly contributed to the post-broadcast viewership, accounting for a large portion of the 11.08 million additional viewers. Network programming dominated the top 20 shows, with only two streaming series, Bridgerton and The Pitt, making the list. This ranking methodology specifically counts shows releasing new episodes during the measured week.
Other notable performances included CBS's Tracker, which secured second place with 14.4 million viewers. Bridgerton's latest episodes landed third with 12.1 million viewers, while The Pitt garnered 8.7 million for HBO Max. The premiere of Survivor 50 and the return of Scrubs also featured in the week's top five programs.
