1883: Paramount Plus UK release date of Yellowstone prequel, cast with Isabel May - will there be a season 2?

1883 is a prequel to the 2018 series Yellowstone, which followed Montana ranching family the Duttons, as they faced off against groups encroaching on their land.

In Yellowstone, the Duttons owned the largest area of cattle land in the entire United States - 1883 explains how the family came to be such prominent landowners.

The series follows the Duttons as they take part in the great westward expansion that made the US what it is today.

As they reach the last truly wild part of the country, the Duttons aim to achieve the American dream and make a success of themselves from the sweat of their brow.
