Fans of Taylor Sheridan's family drama The Madison looking for a similar show to fill the gap need look no further than Heartland, a long-running Canadian series now streaming on Netflix. With over 100 episodes available, including the recently added 19th season, the show offers a life-affirming Western experience set in the stunning Canadian Rockies.
Heartland follows sisters Amy and Lou Fleming, who live on a horse and cattle ranch in Alberta with their widowed grandfather, Jack Bartlett, their previously estranged father Tim Fleming, and hired ranch hand Ty Borden. The series is based on the bestselling novels by Lauren Brooke and has been a hit with viewers worldwide for almost two decades.
While Netflix UK does not have the first six seasons, fans say you can jump in at any point, with seasons 8–10 often considered a golden age. One IMDb reviewer described the series as a “true gem” and a “slice of heaven,” while another called it the “best show ever” and praised its storyline, characters, and scenery.
For those who have devoured every season of Yellowstone and the first six episodes of The Madison, Heartland provides a dose of Western magic. The show is available to stream on Netflix, and Paramount+ is currently offering 50% off its Standard and Premium subscriptions until July 10.
