Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ drama series offers little intrinsic value to the narrative chronicling of one of the most transformative periods in U.S. history. A prequel to Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount Network drama series “Yellowstone,” “1883” unfolds more than a century prior as contemporary Montana is replaced by a journey through the Great Plains, chronicling one family’s story during the great American Western migration. The Western Frontier narrative is one that can’t be told without including the Native American experience, yet it’s a perspective from which these particular stories are rarely expressed, especially in the mainstream.
It is this lack of consideration that almost singlehandedly renders “1883” disappointing. In either scenario, the series is rendered toothless. A necessary context that “1883” does not provide: From around 1840 (following the U.S. victory in the Mexican War, the California gold rush, and the abolition of slavery) to 1900, widespread changes transformed the American West.
Of course not, but given how imbalanced the scales of power and control in American media are, in terms of who decides what stories are told and an awareness of one’s own privilege (as the man says, “With great power comes great responsibility”) could be a first step towards a necessary empathy. In a meshing of past and present, there’s a key flashback in the first episode of the current season of “Yellowstone,” when former Confederate officer James Dutton (McGraw) encounters Native Americans on his land. They are there to bury one of their dead on what used to be their land.
Hardened by war and death, they’re “good” people, something the series seems to want to make clear. But both are dramatic tellings of a white family’s struggle to build a new life for themselves on the American Frontier of the latter half of the 19th century, with a “family values” conservatism that still resonates among many Americans today. A cloying narration by Dutton’s daughter Elsa is sprinkled throughout each episode.
“If ‘possible’ could describe a feeling, that’s how I felt,” she says. Eventually, episodes will catch up to the deadly confrontation with Natives depicted in the early minutes of the first episode. And how that ends, before it rewinds to tell the story of a past when the Duttons began their journey, will likely be answered.
What Was Sam Elliott’S First Movie Job?
He also talks about his first movie job which was as an extra in ‘The Way West’ in 1967. With 1883 now streaming on Paramount+, I recently got to speak with Sam Elliott about making the Yellowstone prequel series. During the interview, Elliott talked about why making the series has been so challenging for both the cast and crew, how creator Taylor Sheridan told him that Elliott would hate him by the end of filming, what it’s been like filming on location in Texas and Montana, his first job as an extra in The Way West in 1967, and more.
Also, last weekend’s two-episode series premiere brought in a massive 4.9 million total viewers, following its parent show Yellowstone, making the airing the biggest new series premiere on cable since 2015.

Who Will Play Elsa, The Duttons’ Eldest Daughter?
The fourth season of Yellowstone may have just come to an end, but fans of the show have its ongoing prequel 1883 to fill any void left by the Paramount Western. Yellowstone’s first two episodes debuted on Sunday, Dec. 19 and became the highest-rated debut on Paramount+, its streaming service home.

The trailer also gives us our first glimpse of Billy Bob Thornton in the series, and he does not look like a man to be trifled with. A tantalizing teaser trailer for 1883 previously debuted during the Season 4 premiere of Yellowstone. A teaser trailer for 1883 was released to first announce the series in early 2021.
Cast Sam Elliott stars as Shea Brennan, a tough-as-nails, handsome cowboy with immense sadness in his past. Country superstars and real-life power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will portray James and Margaret Dutton, the patriarch and matriarch of the Dutton family. Billy Bob Thornton is also in the cast as a character named Marshal Jim Courtright.
In addition, Paramount+ rounded out the cast with 14 new additions. Audie Rick will play young John Dutton Sr. Marc Rissmann will play Josef, a European immigrant who is married to Risa, who travels with an employed crew to guide his group across the frontier. Eric Nelsen will play Ennis, a young, handsome cowboy who agrees to help escort a group of inexperienced men, women, and children north to find a home.
Emma Malouff will play Mary Abel, the daughter of Claire and the niece of James and Margaret Dutton, who joins her family on their journey west. Anna Fiamora will play Risa, a young immigrant woman who is married to Josef and joins the traveling camp to move west. Nichole Galicia will play Guinevere, a local prostitute who works in Fort Worth, Texas.
