For those looking for a new show to fill the time before Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, Netflix has the perfect cowboy show.
There’s still a while to wait beforeYellowstone Season 5 Part 2hits screens in November. And while Taylor Sheridan has covered all bases with his curated selection ofYellowstone spinoffs, that may not be enough for some viewers.
Luckily, Yellowstone fans have found the perfect alternative for when you’ve gone through every piece of Dutton family history: Longmire. Netflix is forever adding some of thebest new TV showsto its platform every month, so you might have missed Longmire if you weren’t looking for it.
Dubbed as a fellow “cowboy show”, Longmire has proven itself to be a worthy addition to theWesternsmall screen world. Much like Yellowstone, it’s a neo-Western crime drama. But where Yellowstone is the creation of Sheridan, Longmire is based on the series of novels, Walt Longmire Mysteries, by Craig Johnson.
It also takes place in Wyoming, the neighboring state of the Dutton’s Montana. Longmire follows Walt Longmire, a sheriff who investigates major crimes. It premiered on A&E, and became the highest-rated original drama series on the network.
“Longmore is amazing. That show is much slower paced and builds the characters a lot more,” one Reddit usersaid of the show. Anotheradded: “I liked Longmire a lot. Fantastic show.”
