Dutton devotees can follow the family out West in 1883, the new Yellowstone prequel series that premieres Sunday, Dec. 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on Paramount+.
The original Paramount Network show debuted its fourth season in early November at record numbers and stars Kevin Costner as the modern-day John Dutton, whose ancestors are the subject of 1883. Helmed by Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan, the series trails cowboy Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) as he guides James and Margaret Dutton (real-life country music power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill), their daughter Elsa (Isabel May) and other westward-bound settlers from Texas to Montana, with plenty of gun- and arrow-wielding perils in the Great Plains along the way, at least from the looks of the official trailer below.
Of the new Paramount+ series, Elliott told The Hollywood Reporter: “I have been in this game a long time; this is my 54th year in my career, and I have never worked on anything like this in terms of the scope and size. There are more horses, more wranglers and more production people than I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never worked on a show that has six cameras operating at the same time and a helicopter in the air. They’re getting their money’s worth.”
