New and Upcoming Western Movies and TV Shows

There's a lot of optimism (wishful thinking?) in Just Westerns':

"...preview of 40 new upcoming Western films and TV shows heading are way in 2026 and beyond, including Young Guns 3, Lonesome Dove remake, Blood Meridian, A Fistful Of Dollars remake, Horizon: Chapter 2, The Dark Tower TV Show, Butch & Sundance, Flint, The Magnificent Seven TV Show, Wind River 2 and many more, as well as new Westerns starring Tim Blake Nelson, Kevin Costner, Scott Eastwood, Kiefer Sutherland, Wes Studi, Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Pine."

For my personal tastes there are a few too many "neo-Westerns" here (although I love Yellowstone... and there's an abundance of Yellowstone-adjacent projects on this list) and, maybe, not enough classic, period Westerns.

Building Up The Old Western Library!

Today saw the arrival - all the way from the Good Ol' U.S. of A - of Deadwood's Al Swearingen: Manifest Evil In The Gem Saloon, penned by historians Jerry L Bryant and Barbara Fifer.

According to the Wild West Extravaganza podcast episode on Swearingen, this book is the closest we'll get to knowing the actual person - rather than the charmingly vile anti-hero version portrayed superbly by Ian McShane in the great Deadwood TV show.

This 140-page tome has immediately jumped to the top of my reading pile, as I just finished my first Louis L'Amour novel yesterday (The Tall Stranger)!
