How to watch the Justified shows in order

In 2010, the first season of US neo-Western crime drama, Justified, made its debut on the FX network. The show – based on the Elmore Leonard story, Fire in the Hole – starred Timothy Olyphant as deputy US Marshal Raylan Givens – a no-nonsense officer who enforces his own brand of justice.

Due to the popularity of the first season of Justified, further seasons soon followed, as well as a spin-off series. But if you’re unfamiliar with the Justified shows, and you’re unsure when and how to watch the shows in order, what do you do?

Well, you keep reading this post! Below you’ll find all the information you need.

Understanding the Justified shows

Justified first hit television screens in March 2010, with the episode ‘Fire in the Hole‘. The initial episode was a hit with viewers and the first season remained on air until June.

With Justified picking up strong following, a second season was soon commissioned, with season two hitting screens in February 2011. This season proved popular too and was followed by a third season in 2012, a fourth in 2013, a fifth in 2014, and a sixth in 2015.

The sixth season would be the Justified‘s last, with the show’s developer Graham Yost bringing the series to an end after 78 episodes. However, while this was the end for Justified, this wasn’t the end for lead character, Raylan Givens.

Eight years after Justified concluded, Timothy Olyphant reprised the role of Givens for spin-off show, Justified: City Primeval. The show – which debuted in 2023 – was designed as a sequel series, with a limited run of eight episodes.
