We obviously have to start this list with a Sheridan creation! Lawmen: Bass Reeves is not technically part of the Yellowstone franchise, but instead follows a real life historical lawman, the first season focusing on Bass Reeves. His story as the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi is gritty, fascinating, and impressive.

Territory is like Yellowstone with an Australian twist! Set on the largest cattle station in the Outback, this drama follows the Lawson family’s fight to hold onto their land as rival cattle barons, Indigenous leaders, and even gangsters circle for a takeover.
