Yellowstone Prequel 1883 New Trailer Released By Paramount+

The new trailer for Yellowstone prequel 1883 has been released by Paramount+, and you can watch it below! 1883 stars iconic actor Sam Elliott (The Ranch) alongside country music power couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, with Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan at the helm, and stars like Billy Bob Thorton set to show up. It's easy to see from this trailer why 1883 will not only be a successful extension of the already successful Yellowstone franchise but a potential huge breakout hit of its own. The main series thrives on the nostalgia of American rancher life, and the mix of personal and social drama, along with some hard-edged violence – and 1883 looks to up that ante by a LOT. 

Going full-blown Western is a good step for Yellowstone, no doubt, and the trifecta of McGraw, Hill, and Elliott's star power (particularly in this sort of genre) already makes it a must-see debut for so many viewers. ViamcomCBS and MTV Studios have clearly not skimped on the budget of creating this period piece series, and for the millions of fans already deep into the Yellowstone lore, the formative story of the Dutton family's path to wealth and power on the American frontier will be both a validating (and potentially surprising) story to explore.  

Here are the full details about Yellowstone prequel 1883, via Paramount+:
