Upcoming Western Movies and Series on Netflix 2024
From dramas focusing on a familial legacy and real-life Western lawmen to Western ensemble casts prioritizing gumption and tenacity in the face of insurmountable odds and inhospitable climes, these upcoming Westerns share themes, symbolism, and beautiful cinematography with Sheridan’s frontier brand. Several of them even include cast members that he’s worked with across several Yellowstone series.
The Western genre is experiencing a resurgence, thanks to the success of shows like Yellowstone, and Netflix is joining the trend with several upcoming projects. Currently, Netflix’s library of Westerns is limited, featuring only a few titles such as The Harder They Fall, Godless, The Highwaymen, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. However, with the renewed interest in Westerns, Netflix is poised to expand its offerings in this classic genre.

American Primeval
American Primeval is one series coming up very soon
Netflix ke mutabiq, yeh series “ek kachi tasveer hai jo tehzeebon, mazhabon, aur communities ke darmiyan honay wale shadid tasadum ko dikhati hai, jahan mard aur auratein us zameen ke liye ladte aur marte hain jisey woh apni taqdeer samajhte hain.”
The series boasts a talented cast including Taylor Kitsch, Tokala Black Elk, Alex Fine, Derek Hinkey, Kip Weeks, and Jeremy Gauna. Although we’ve only seen a brief preview in the 2024 Next on Netflix series reveals, our expectations are high.
Desert King
The latest buzz from Australia introduces a new series that seems to blend elements of Yellowstone and Sons of Anarchy. Created by Ben Davies and Timothy Lee, this show revolves around a power struggle in the Australian outback as the Lawson ranch, without an heir, becomes the prize up for grabs. It sets the stage for an intense battle among various factions to seize control of the dynasty. While we’re still waiting on the official cast list for Desert King, it’s definitely high on our list of anticipated shows.
Blood Meridian
Adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s Gritty Novel
Renowned for his iconic American gothic Westerns and gripping thrillers, Cormac McCarthy has often been associated with novels considered “unfilmable” due to their intense violence and unsettling themes. Among these, none captivates and divides audiences quite like “Blood Meridian,” chronicling a young man’s harrowing journey of self-discovery and the dark truths he uncovers. Enthusiasts eagerly await news of who will embody the chilling antagonist, The Judge, while fans of “Yellowstone” will find resonance in the morally complex characters, echoing the hallmark ambiguity of Sheridan’s storytelling.
