Taylor Sheridan’s Western epic 1883 has gained popularity as a Yellowstone prequel, set over a century before the main series. The limited series follows the early Dutton family as they travel from Fort Worth, Texas to Montana. While the Duttons are fictional characters, the events depicted in the show are based on true historical accounts. Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone, wrote 1883 like a novel and aimed for authenticity, recreating the challenges faced by pioneers in the Old West. The series features historical figures and events, making it a more authentic depiction of the American West during that era. 1883 was always intended to be a standalone story, but it spawned other prequel series, including 1923 and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. The Yellowstone franchise is continuing with a sequel series and the release of the final season of the original show.
