From humble beginnings, Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone has grown into TV's one inescapable franchise. The Kevin Costner-led original ended its run after a relatively compact five seasons, but that doesn't reckon with the three official spin-offs, the three others in development, nor with the Sheridan shows (Landman, The Madison, Bass Reeves) that feel like they could extensions of the Yellowstone universe, even if they technically aren't.

But given that success only feeds our appetite for more, here are 15 other shows that play with the themes and tones that have made Yellowstone such a phenomenon.

The Madison (2026 – )

I don't want to make this a list nothing but Taylor Sheridan shows, but they're definitely a vibe. It's early days yet for the latest, but it's already been renewed for a second season, a testament to the power of its creator and the inspired casting of Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead. She plays Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch of a rich New York family who decides to pick up stakes following a tragedy, reconnecting with what she's lost by visiting her late husband's isolated piece of land in Montana for a break from the show's horror-movie version of NYC. In the process she learns lessons about love, grief, and fishing in the folksy great outdoors. Stream The Madison on Paramount+.

Queen Sugar (2016 – 2022)

Another intense family business drama with a dash of a succession crisis. In Queen Sugar, three estranged siblings in distant cities are brought together by the death of their father, who has left them each an equal share in an 800-acre sugarcane farm in rural Louisiana. The Ava DuVernay-produced (and sometimes directed) series offers plenty of scandal and soapy drama, but ultimately, it’s a show about a family coming back together to preserve its legacy. Stream Queen Sugar on Hulu.

Landman (2024 – )

Thornton plays Billy Norris, a crackerjack consultant, fixer, and general hired gun for a major oil conglomerate in present-day West Texas. Beyond the complicated economics and politics of the oil industry, the poor guy's also dealing with extremely complicated family drama, debt, criminal ties, and substance-abuse issues. Call it Dallas for a new generation. Stream Landman on Paramount+.

Dallas (1978 – 1991, 2012 – 2014)

Speaking of, you can draw a pretty straight line between the Duttons of Yellowstone and the Ewings of Dallas, even if they're separated by time and state lines. (Also, the Texas-based Ewings specialize in Big Oil, with only a sideline in cattle ranching.) Led by Larry Hagman's implacable J.R., the primetime soap finds the family caught up in more than a decade's worth of shady business deals and personal trials, often overlapping (as when Ewing heir Bobby elopes with Pam, from the rival Barnes family). The revival series, a direct continuation, is also pretty fun: Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman return, joined by a new generation of greedy, horny oil tycoon types, led by Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalf, and Jordana Brewster. Buy Dallas from Prime Video, same for the revival.

Mayor of Kingstown (2021 – )

Another Taylor Sheridan creation, this one stars Jeremy Renner as Mike McLusky, head of a family that’s been keeping the peace, more or less, in the title's company town for decades. The "business" of the corrupt burg just happens to be incarceration, and the McLuskys thrive when business is up, even if Mike himself has different ideas about how to run things. The show deals, at least broadly, with systemic racism and inequality in the prison system, but mostly it's a modern day western about bringing justice to a corrupt town.

1923 (2022– 2025)

Hard to ignore the casting here: There’s certainly some TV work on the CVs of both Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, but getting these two legends together for a spin-off series certainly represents a coup (especially when you throw in Timothy Dalton as the baddie). In this mid-quel, set between Yellowstone prime and the more western-themed 1883, the show sees the Dutton family of the era take on Prohibition, with the Great Depression looming in the background.
