Like "Yellowstone" and its prequels, "Mayor of Kingstown" was created by Taylor Sheridan. Jeremy Renner stars as Mike McLusky, who becomes the titular "mayor" when his brother dies. The town is plagued by systemic racism, corruption, and inequality with the McLusky family at the top of the hierarchy. The series also stars Dianne Wiest, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Dillon, and Taylor Handley.

Like "Yellowston," "Succession" is about a sprawling family who are constantly switching sides and allegiances. It trades the setting of the West for corporate boardrooms and private jets, but the drama isn't all that different in the end.

"Justified" just might be the paragon of the "modern Western" subgenre that "Yellowstone" also embraces. A US Marshal with a controversial and old-school style gets reassigned to his Kentucky hometown, forcing him to confront the parts of his past that made him who he is and that he thought he'd escaped for good.

One of the major threads in "Yellowstone" is the conflict between Native Americans and the descendants of white settlers. "Longmire" also touches on these tensions, following a small-town Wyoming sheriff's department that alternately allies with and clashes with tribal police.

Take "Yellowstone"'s Western action drama, set it in space, and you've basically got "The Mandalorian." The "Star Wars" spinoff follows a bounty hunter who's tasked with retrieving a "target" that turns out to be a Force-sensitive child. Instead of delivering the Child to his nefarious employers, he goes on the run, dealing with the lawless regions of the galaxy and Imperial remnants hell-bent on capturing the Child and its powers.

"Yellowstone"'s drama doesn't just come from its locals-vs-outsiders conflict, but from major conflict within the central family. That's the same sort of storyline you'll find on "The Son", which follows multiple generations of a Texas oil family, especially the conflict between the tough patriarch and his rebellious son.

Loosely based on a true story, the acclaimed drama "Deadwood" follows similar themes as "Yellowstone": a small, rural community facing down enormous change brought in from the outside. Although "Deadwood" takes place in the actual "wild West" of the 1870s, as opposed to the modern-day Western setting of "Yellowstone", the family and community drama are pretty similar.

Just as "Yellowstone" centers on the messy, often contentious relationships among the Dutton family, "Animal Kingdom" features another complicated family with some crime drama along the way. The show follows the Cody family, who run a drug operation out of a California beach town, and, like the Duttons, they fight among themselves but often stick together in the face of major outside threats.

On the surface, "Breaking Bad" doesn't seem to have much in common with "Yellowstone" other than a vaguely Western-inspired aesthetic, but they've got more to link them than you might think at first. Both have complicated intergenerational relationships, antihero fathers, and dark and twisty crime at the center of the drama.

Swap in "land war" with "biker gang turf wars" and it's easy to see the parallels between "Yellowstone" and "Sons of Anarchy". The drama about a motorcycle gang's external and internal conflicts touches on many of the same themes as "Yellowstone": family loyalties, notions of masculinity, and a tough, us-vs.-them mentality.

Watch "Sons of Anarchy" on Hulu.

If the rural drama and tangled family dynamics are your favorite parts of "Yellowstone", then "Ozark" should be next on your to-watch list. The show follows a couple who have to move to rural Missouri to fulfill the terms of a job laundering drug cartel money, and the intricate personal conflict is just as compelling as the tense crime drama.

If you enjoy the standoff tensions of "Yellowstone", you'll definitely like "Godless". The miniseries centers on a betrayal within a crime gang in the Wild West: one member of the gang betrays the leader and flees to a mining town run by women, who band together to protect him and take down the brutal outlaws once and for all.
