Justified revived after 8 years — Timothy Olyphant's neo-Western returned in 2023

Full text

The neo-Western genre has become hugely successful on TV in recent years, thanks in no small part to Taylor Sheridan 's hit franchise. Great as Yellowstone is, though, real ones will definitely know that the genre has been around much longer on both big and small screens, and that one particular show played a key role in popularizing the neo-Western more than a decade ago. Starring Timothy Olyphant as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, FX's Justified was so good that it also helped strengthen his career, launch others, and was even brought back in 2023 for a revival, Justified: City Primeval , which, in turn, established a shared universe of its own.
