8 Shows Like Yellowstone to Watch in Australia

Shows Like Yellowstone: What to Watch Next

So you’ve binged all five seasons of Yellowstone and you’re sitting there, staring at the telly, wondering what on earth you’re supposed to watch now. The Dutton-shaped hole in your life is real, and no amount of rewatching the “train station” scenes is going to fill it.

Good news — there are plenty of shows that scratch that same itch. Whether it’s the family dynasty drama, the stunning rural landscapes, the morally grey characters, or the simmering tension that drew you to Yellowstone, we’ve rounded up the best alternatives streaming in Australia right now.

1. 1883 (Stan)

The obvious first pick. Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel follows the original Dutton family as they make the treacherous journey west from Texas to Montana in the late 1800s. Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill lead a superb cast, and the show is arguably more emotionally devastating than Yellowstone itself. The scenery is jaw-dropping, the writing is beautiful, and it’ll give you a whole new appreciation for how the Dutton legacy began. Streaming exclusively on Stan.

2. 1923 (Stan)

The other Yellowstone prequel, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as the Duttons navigating the challenges of Prohibition, drought, and the Great Depression. It’s a starrier affair than 1883, and Ford is clearly having the time of his life playing a tough-as-nails Montana rancher. The dual storylines — Montana ranch life and a young Dutton’s journey through Africa — give it a broader scope. On Stan.

3. Succession (Binge)

Different setting, same energy. If you love Yellowstone for the family power struggles and backstabbing, Succession is the urban equivalent — except the Roys are fighting over a media empire instead of a ranch. The writing is sharper, the characters are arguably more despicable, and it’s widely considered one of the best shows ever made. All four seasons on Binge.

4. Outer Range (Prime Video)

Josh Brolin stars as a Wyoming rancher who discovers a mysterious void on his property, and things get very weird from there. It’s like Yellowstone meets The Twilight Zone — family ranch drama mixed with genuinely unsettling science fiction. If you want the rural setting and family conflict but with a supernatural twist, this is your show. Streaming on Prime Video.

5. Longmire (Netflix)

A modern-day Western following a Wyoming sheriff as he investigates crimes across his vast rural county. Robert Taylor (an Aussie, as it happens) brings quiet authority to the lead role, and the show has that same sense of wide-open spaces and small-town politics that makes Yellowstone so atmospheric. Six seasons of solid, character-driven storytelling. On Netflix.

6. Godless (Netflix)

A limited series Western set in 1880s New Mexico, centring on a town populated almost entirely by women after a mining disaster kills most of the men. Jeff Daniels plays one of the most menacing villains you’ll see on screen, and the whole thing is shot with a cinematic scope that rivals any feature film. Seven episodes, beautifully contained, utterly gripping. On Netflix.

7. Hell on Wheels (Stan)

Set during the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, Hell on Wheels follows a Confederate soldier seeking revenge in the lawless camps that spring up along the route. It’s got the same blend of historical setting, moral ambiguity, and stunning landscapes that Yellowstone fans love. Five seasons of solid Western drama on Stan.

8. The Son (Stan)

Pierce Brosnan stars in this multi-generational saga about a Texas oil and cattle dynasty, told across two timelines. It’s deeply invested in the mythology of the American frontier and the violence that built it — themes that’ll feel very familiar to Yellowstone devotees. Two seasons on Stan.

The Bottom Line

Between Stan’s lock on the Yellowstone universe and its strong Western catalogue, plus the offerings on Netflix, Binge, and Prime Video, Australian viewers have no shortage of options for scratching that Yellowstone itch. Start with 1883 if you haven’t already — it’s the natural next step — then work your way through the rest based on whether you’re more drawn to the family drama side (Succession), the Western setting (Longmire, Godless), or something a bit different (Outer Range).
