Netflix fans have been binge-watching an 'epic' TV series which has multiple spin-offs - and more to come.
Housing more than 7,000 titles, the world’s top streaming platform makes 'what to watch next' a question with too many answers.
But if you're going to hedge your bets, it's on a TV show with five solid seasons, three spin-offs to its name and another three currently in production.

Better yet, the gripping show has been binged for more than 686 million hours between January 2024 and June 2025 alone, according to FlixPatrol.
Considering the American series was first released in 2018, it's likely the total figure is even larger.
It comes amid a major update about one of the show's reported follow-ups, titled Rio Palo.

On Monday (August 11), Ferris, Texas, city manager Brooks Williams revealed it would be the backdrop to the new series as filming gets underway.
Locations include a ranch with a mansion, the city's downtown, and its outskirts, making the most of the area's 'unique landscapes and elavation changes.'
The original show in question stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the head of a powerful family in charge of the largest cattle ranch in the US.
Based in Montana, they must constantly defend their land against a trio of threats: greedy land developers, a neighboring Native American reservation and the encroachment of Yellowstone National Park.

We're talking about Yellowstone, of course, from the brilliant minds of Taylor Sheridan and John Linson.
Across its five seasons, Rotten Tomatoes has rated Yellowstone an average of 83 percent. Its first season scored the lowest at 58 percent, but expect the slow burn to pay off, as its third season earned a perfect 100.
"One of the greatest shows of all time," one fan penned. "The writing and direction by Taylor Sheridan is absolutely flawless. Great story and amazing characters that you fall in love with."

A second summed the show up as 'epic in many ways,' as a third cemented what the show's ratings suggest: "Slow paced at first, but stick with it, the whole story is a gem. Top acting and writing."
Others admitted it took them 'forever' to start watching the show, but were so glad they finally got round to it.
On that note, Yellowstone is streaming on Netflix in the UK and Peacock in the US.
Once you've devoured all five seasons - that's 53 episodes - then there are another three spin-offs to enjoy: 1883, 1923 and Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
The first two directly expand on Yellowstone, while the third is more from the same universe (and from Sheridan) but outside of the Dutton family.

Reportedly in development alongside Rio Palo is 1944 and 6666 (that's Four Sixes), while the Yellowstone universe will expand once again with The Madison and a series focusing on young John Dutton. Exciting stuff!
Yellowstone is available to stream now on Netflix in the UK and Peacock in the US.
