Everything We Know So Far About 1883 Season 2
The Yellowstone prequel series has officially been picked up for more episodes.
The Yellowstone prequel 1883 has been wrangling viewers since it debuted last year, and after the dramatic ending of the show's first 10 episode run, fans have been left understandably uncertain about the show's future.
This article contains spoilers for the first 10 episodes of 1883.
On February 15, 2022, before the show wrapped up its run, Paramount+ announced that it had ordered more episodes of 1883. However, a climactic season finale that saw the deaths of many of the show's most prominent characters—including the narrator Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) and wagon train leader Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott), not to mention most of the wagon train itself—has left many scratching their heads as to what exactly those new episodes might entail.
Adding to the confusion, 1883 creator and writer Taylor Sheridan told Deadline following the finale that, "We wanted to make a 10-hour movie that ended, and that’s what we did," adding, "For me, as a storyteller it feels close ended. I’m going to peek through the window of a different era and see what I see then."
That "different era" is apparently planned to be the recently announced 1932, which will feature another generation of Dutton history set during the era of Prohibition and the Great Depression. So what does that mean for those promised additional episodes of 1883? Town & Country understands that the episodes will definitely be coming, however the specific creative direction for them hasn't been determined yet.
"We just don’t know. We’re sort of in limbo like everyone else," Tim McGraw, who stars in the series at Dutton family patriarch James, told Variety when asked about the show's future. "We’re excited about what’s to come and excited about what [Sheridan] writes and can’t wait to see however it develops."
Whatever form the new episodes take, and whenever they appear, new additions into the 1883 universe are expected to appear exclusively on Paramount+ just as the first 10 episodes did.
What's 1883 about?
Starring Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott, and Isabel May, 1883 tells the story of the ancestors of Yellowstone's Dutton family in the late 19th century as they set out into America's untamed west to create what will one day become their namesake Montana homestead.
The first season saw James and Margaret Dutton (McGraw and Hill) and their children, rebellious Elsa (May), and young John (Audie Rick), travel from Fort Worth, Texas into the Great Plains, enduring desperation, death, and destruction on the path to following the American dream.
