Yellowstone’s popularity has increased dramatically over the years ever since its 2018 debut, and as the universe continues to expand

through numerous new projects, Netflix may have finally found its competitor. While there is no shortage of great Westerns around,

Yellowstone and its follow-up shows are easily some of the best we’ve seen over the last decade.

 

 

The additions of 1883 and 1923 have helped make the franchise truly iconic, and with countless other shows on the way, the universe’s only real problem is new fans trying to keep up with what order to watch Yellowstone and its subsequent spinoffs. Fortunately, it’s a small price to pay for such quality drama and tension, hence the Paramount production’s overwhelming success.

Additionally, with countless big names already associated with the IP and more on the way, the future of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone has never looked better. However, a worthy competitor looks to have emerged thanks to Netflix, as a 12-year-old crime drama has gotten new life and looks bound to be the streaming platform’s next big hit franchise.

 

 

Peaky Blinders’ six seasons were met with global praise, as the British drama became a cultural hit, and with a movie as well as several new shows on the way, the franchise gives Netflix a solid chance of competing with Paramount’s Yellowstone. Although the two universes fall under completely different genres, they do share some major similarities that make them so successful.

Outside their great writing and performances, they both deal with family conflicts alongside political aspects that play a central role in the respective narratives. With Yellowstone’s 1923 spinoff taking place around a century ago, it also shares a time frame with Peaky Blinders’ earlier seasons.

Peaky Blinders’ six seasons were met with global praise, as the British drama became a cultural hit, and with a movie as well as several new shows on the way, the franchise gives Netflix a solid chance of competing with Paramount’s Yellowstone. Although the two universes fall under completely different genres, they do share some major similarities that make them so successful.

Outside their great writing and performances, they both deal with family conflicts alongside political aspects that play a central role in the respective narratives. With Yellowstone’s 1923 spinoff taking place around a century ago, it also shares a time frame with Peaky Blinders’ earlier seasons.

Although Netflix acquired the rights to show Peaky Blinders in the US and around the world, it was originally a BBC production, who are still involved in the franchise’s development.

Therefore, the announcement that Peaky Blinders will get a new sequel series on Netflix is a major development, as there was already a feature film and two spinoffs ordered, suggesting the franchise will be bigger than ever before. With the story also introducing a new era of Shelbys, the expansion feels very similar to how Yellowstone successfully branched out.

Giving fans multiple stories in the Peaky Blinders universe focusing on all kinds of characters, locations, and time frames is exactly what has made Yellowstone so popular, suggesting there should be some healthy competition between the two, and if the British crime franchise can maintain the quality of its original series, the sky is the limit for Netflix’s valuable IP.
