As Yellowstone gears up for the release of its fourth season, a prequel series titled 1883 is currently in production for Paramount+. The show is set to star Sam Elliott as well as country music stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and “follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America.” The show is described as “a stark retelling of Western expansion, and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America’s promised land — Montana.” This week, Variety reported that Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton will also be joining the cast.
