1883 Trailer: The Duttons Stake a Claim in the Old West in Yellowstone Prequel
The Duttons’ family tree has some branches that go waaaaay back, as we learn in a new trailer for the Yellowstone prequel 1883, premiering Sunday, Dec. 19 on Paramount+.
In the trailer — which you can watch above — we meet John Dutton’s 19th-century ancestor James (played by country star Tim McGraw) as he and his family set off in a covered wagon in search of a better life in Montana. “I’m gonna keep heading north until I find a country that’s worth the journey.” The road is dangerous, though: James has to shoot a few bandits along the way to keep his clan safe, and he gives his daughter a pistol for protection as they spot skeletons stuck full of arrows from the local natives.
The Duttons get an assist from cowboy guide Shea Brennan, played by Sam Elliott, who helps shepherd a group of families from Texas to Oregon… although it doesn’t seem like James much wants the help. We also meet a fast-shooting marshal played by Billy Bob Thornton who guns down a man in a crowded saloon before warning the rest: “There’s only one killer in Fort Worth, and that’s me.”
Good news if you don’t have Paramount+: The 1883 premiere will also air on Paramount Network on Sunday, Dec. 19, following a new episode of Yellowstone.
Press PLAY above for a sneak peek at 1883, and tell us in the comments: Will you be watching?
Very excited for this.
I’m a huge fan of Sam, Tim and Faith so this is Must See TV for me. I expect to become a very loyal 1883 viewer!
Never underestimate taylor sheridan and tim mcgraws ability to f#&k a movie or tv show up.
Love Sam. but not enough to watch Faith & Tim.
So far I am very excited about the new show and yes I will be watching! The previews look great, great cast and storyline, keep them coming! 1883, I can’t wait!
I would like to watch this, but I’m not about to pay for Paramount+ to see it.
This sucks for people like us that cant afford internet. We love Yellowstone and not being able to watch shows on paramount is really irritating
Signed up for Free Trial Paramount+ to watch 1883. We watched the December 26 show. They either have not uploaded a 4th show or they are not allowing the “Free Trial” folks the ability to see anymore of 1883. Guess we will see after Sunday, January 9; since Yellowstone had its season finale last Sunday.
