Yellowstone and its spin-offs have drawn an entirely new generation of TV viewers into the Western saddle — and believe us, this golden age of prestige Westerns is not only keeping the genre alive but also shaking it up.
From rugged wagon trails to cunning law enforcement, these shows dive straight into the elements Yellowstone fans cherish most: breathtaking landscapes, complex family legacies, and heart-wrenching love stories.
Whether you crave sweeping vistas or intense family drama, these series will satisfy your appetite for the world Taylor Sheridan has created.
What's it about? Meet the Duttons before Montana even knew their name. 1883 is Yellowstone's prequel: a wagon trail epic of hope, heartbreak, and brutal new beginnings. Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill headline the saga that's thick with grit, dysentery, and the ultimate question — how much will you sacrifice for your family's future?
Where can I watch 1883? Paramount+.
What's it about? Picture a mining town run almost entirely by women (yes, really.) When outlaw Roy Goode stumbles into La Belle, the town's fierce heroines (played by Michelle Dockery and Merritt Wever) must defend their independence against bandits and old ghosts. Godless is the kind of Western series that women deserve.
Where can I watch Godless? Netflix.
What's it about? Swap the grandeur of Montana for Wyoming's quietly dangerous beauty, and sheriffs for, well, more sheriffs. Walt Longmire lives his life keeping the peace in Absaroka County, and solving crimes that blur the lines between tradition and justice. It's a modern cowboy drama with slow-burn charm and high-stakes drama. A must-see.
Where can I watch Longmire? Netflix.
What's it about? Join Raylan Givens — a trigger-happy U.S. Marshal — as he returns home to Kentucky, where family feuds and backwoods justice reign supreme. Expect shootouts, and a modern spin on the lone lawman archetype.
Where can I watch Justified? ITVX, Hulu.
What's it about? Imagine Yellowstone had a baby with Twin Peaks, and you'll just about get Outer Range, which tells the story of Wyoming rancher Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin) who discovers a mysterious void on his land, igniting a supernatural mystery with roots in family, greed, and existential dread.
Where can I watch Outer Range? Prime Video.
What's it about? Once you've finished Yellowstone, teleport to Prohibition-era Atlantic City via Boardwalk Empire. Nucky Thompson's reign is as cutthroat as any Dutton drama, weaving corruption and survival across lavish parties and deadly rivalries.
Where can I watch Boardwalk Empire? NOW TV.
What is The Abandons about? Set in the dust-choked hills of 1850s Oregon, The Abandons is the latest offering from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter. It's got Gillian Anderson running wild in the wild, wild west, survivors on the edge, and enough family drama to keep us all glued to our screens.
Per the official Netflix logline, the series '...tells the story of a group of diverse renegade families living on the fringes of society in 1850s Washington State. These lost souls band together to fight corrupt forces and do anything they can to save their land.'
Where can I watch The Abandons? Filming started on the hotly-anticipated series in May 2024, so hopes are high that it will be available to stream soon on Netflix.
