If youre going to pick one Sheridan show to pair with 1923, Yellowstonemakes the most sense since it inspired the Ford-led prequel.Yellowstoneintroduces the world to the Dutton family, owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and arguably the most powerful family in Montana.

John Dutton (Kevin Costner) is the patriarch who controls every aspect of the ranch, the largest in the state. Along with his kids (Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes), the Duttons navigate political pressure and corporate greed as they face obstacles at every corner wealthy businessmen, government officials, and an Indian reservation.

　　American Primeval (2025)

American Primeval doesnt pull its punches in its depiction of Western expansion. Executive produced by Peter Berg, American Primeval follows several interconnected storylines in 1857 during the Utah War. The most compelling storyline involves Isaac (Taylor Kitsch), a skilled woodsman who agrees to help Sara (Betty Gilpin) and her son, Devin (Preston Mota), get across the frontier.

The series also focuses on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its Mormon militia, which engage in violent and oppressive confrontations with other cultures in the area. If youre looking for a series that glamorizes expansion, this aint it. Its a violent watch, but an enthralling one where you cant look away.

　　Godless (2017)

Before he won multiple Emmys for his work onThe Queens Gambit, Scott Frank created the underrated Godless, a Western drama set in 1884. Roy Goode (Jack OConnell) is an outlaw on the run after betraying his boss, Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels), a notorious criminal with a history of brutality and violence.

Roy attempts to find refuge in La Belle, a New Mexico town occupied by women after a mining accident killed most of the men. Hardened widow Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery) agrees to nurse Roy back to health. The town gets word that Frank and his gang are headed to La Belle, Alice and the other residents prepare to defend their town to the death. Considering how Westerns predominantly focus on men, Godlessis a great change of pace and spotlight for a strong female-focused story.

　　Hell on Wheels (2011-2016)

In the 2010s, AMC wasnt only dedicated to The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, andMad Men. Mixed in between those premier shows was Hell on Wheels, a Western drama set in the aftermath of the Civil War. Former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Anson Mount) is on a mission to find the Union soldiers who killed his wife and son.

Bohannon travels west to work on the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, aka Hell on Wheels. Over the five-season run,Hell on Wheelsshifts from a revenge plot to a show about political conflict, individual ambition, and the growth of the American frontier. This shift in tone and exploration of a new frontier is why Hell on Wheelslasted as long as it did.
