As fans await the confirmed third season, here are five must-watch Western series to fill the gap.
Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan's iconic ranch drama starring Kevin Costner, is a natural choice. The first four seasons are streaming on Netflix in the UK. While later seasons have divided opinion, earlier episodes earned critical acclaim. One IMDb reviewer called it 'a modern Western masterpiece'. The story continues with spin-offs Marshals and The Dutton Ranch on Paramount+.
Dark Winds, a lesser-known period thriller set in the 1970s, follows three Navajo Tribal Police officers investigating chilling conspiracies. Based on Tony Hillerman's novels, it stars Zahn McClarnon, Kiowa Gordon, Jessica Matten and Rainn Wilson. Season one is on Netflix UK. One fan described it as 'well written, well acted, well paced'.
Deadwood, the HBO drama set in the Old West, is widely considered one of the greatest Western TV shows. Starring Timothy Olyphant, Ian McShane and Molly Parker, its three seasons offer a gritty, unsanitized portrayal. It is available on Paramount+. One viewer called it 'the most beautifully written drama since Shakespeare'.
Lawmen: Bass Reeves, another Taylor Sheridan production, is a historical drama set after the American Civil War. David Oyelowo stars as Bass Reeves, one of the first African American Deputy U.S. Marshals west of the Mississippi. After escaping slavery, he becomes a legendary lawman. The series is on Paramount+.
