The release kept the series on its Friday-night schedule with new installments announced each Friday.

History

Historical Context

In September 1959 NBC debuted Bonanza, a color Western that ran 14 seasons and 431 episodes, becoming the network’s top-rated show through the 1960s. Its family-drama format proved that western narratives could draw broad audiences, a legacy that streaming services cite when producing modern ranch sagas. The 2026 Paramount+ episode “Cowboy Saint” echoes that tradition by staging a power struggle on the fictional 10-Petal Ranch.
