The Yellowstone prequel 1883 has been a hit with viewers since its debut in 2021. After the dramatic ending of the first 10 episodes, fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the show’s future. Paramount+ announced that more episodes of 1883 were ordered before the season finale aired. However, the deaths of several main characters and the uncertain direction of the story left fans wondering what the new episodes would entail.
Creator and writer Taylor Sheridan described 1883 as a 10-hour movie that had a close-ended ending. He also mentioned that he would explore a different era in the spin-off series 1923. Initially, it was believed that the additional episodes of 1883 would focus on the legendary US Marshal Bass Reeves. However, the series name has since been changed to Lawmen: Bass Reeves, indicating that it may no longer be directly tied to the story of 1883.
As of now, the specific creative direction for the additional episodes of 1883 has not been determined. The writer’s strike and potential actor’s guild strike further complicate the situation. The future of the show remains uncertain, and the cast and crew are eagerly waiting for more information.
What is 1883 about?
1883 is a Western drama series that serves as a prequel to Yellowstone. It follows the ancestors of the Dutton family as they venture into the untamed west to establish their Montana homestead.
