Yellowstone fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of the hit Paramount Network series, but the final episodes of the show won't be released until November 2024. The delay is due to various factors, including the Hollywood writers strike and Kevin Costner's exit from the show. However, fans need not despair as there are plenty of other Western-style dramas to enjoy in the meantime.
One such option is '1883,' a prequel miniseries to Yellowstone that follows the ancestors of the Dutton family as they establish their ranch. Another prequel series, '1923,' explores the origins of the Dutton empire and the battles that shaped it. Additionally, 'Lawmen: Bass Reeves' tells the story of legendary U.S. marshal Bass Reeves and his pursuit of outlaws.
For fans who enjoy crime-solving in a Western setting, 'Longmire' is a compelling choice. The series follows a widowed sheriff in Wyoming as he navigates small-town life. 'Justified' and 'Deadwood' offer more lawlessness and historical fiction, while 'Hatfields & McCoys' delves into the infamous feud between two families.
'The Son' follows a Texas ranching and oil dynasty over 150 years, while 'Outer Range' presents a mysterious threat on a family ranch in Wyoming. 'Dark Winds' explores the experience of Indigenous peoples in the West, and 'The McBee Family Dynasty: Real Life Cowboys' offers a reality series about a ranching family in Missouri.
Lastly, 'Succession' provides a different take on family drama, focusing on a media conglomerate instead of a ranch. With a variety of Western-style dramas to choose from, Yellowstone fans can stay entertained until the show's return in November 2024.
