Western TV shows may not dominate the airwaves like they once did, but they remain incredibly popular with fans of both modern Westerns like Yellowstone and its many spinoffs, and the Westerns of yesteryear as well, including Bonanza, Gunsmoke and The Rifleman. There is even a new free channel called WEST dedicated to your favorite old Western shows. However, if you only have a subscription to Amazon Prime, you might be wondering what Westerns are available. Turns out, there are plenty of options and hopefully even more just around the corner.

The Rifleman

While Bonanza and Gunsmoke are not currently available under the subscription in the United States, fans can watch The Rifleman. The show centers on a widowed rancher and his young son, combining thrilling gunplay with heartfelt father-son moments.

Death Valley Days

Fans of anthology storytelling can also watch Death Valley Days, a show that first aired in the 1950s and brought to life tales inspired by the American West. Each episode stands alone, making it easy to watch casually or out of order.

Little House on the Prairie

For those who prefer a family-centered frontier drama, Little House on the Prairie is also available, offering a gentler but still deeply nostalgic look at pioneer life, just in time for its reboot coming soon to Netflix.

Finding these shows on Amazon Prime is as easy as heading to the Westerns genre section or searching by title. Some are fully included with a Prime subscription, while others may require purchasing or renting episodes, depending on the licensing.
