Hey, Yellowstone fans! If you're anything like us, then you're probably anxiously waiting for season 5 of your favorite Western-thriller. But in the meantime, we found an excellent way to pass the time: by watching Amazon Prime Video's newly released neo-Western series, Outer Range. The two shows share a lot in common, with both centered around patriarchs whose family ranches are in danger of being taken over. Plus, Yellowstone fans will be pleasantly surprised to see one of their own featured in the show!

So, what else is there to know about Amazon Prime's new sci-fi Western series? We're here to give you the lowdown that you need before you watch.

The trailer is soul-stirring.

What is it about?

Don't worry: If you thought the trailer was confusing, then we'll break it down further for you. Outer Range follows a Wyoming rancher who becomes entangled in one of the greatest enigmas his hometown has ever witnessed when he discovers a large, supernatural hole on his property. We don't want to give too much else away, so if this piques your interest, you should tune in to the show to learn more!
