by Mike Fleming Jr
August 4, 2021
Paramount+ and MTV Entertainment Studios have set Sam Elliott to star with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in "1883", the Taylor Sheridan-created prequel to the network’s signature hit drama "Yellowstone".
101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions will serve as production partners on the series. The trio seems just about perfect for a continuation of the saga.
"1883" follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America. It is 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.
Elliott is set to play Shea Brennan, a tough as nails, handsome cowboy with immense sadness in his past. He has the herculean task of guiding a group from Texas to Montana, and he does not suffer fools.
McGraw and Hill will portray James and Margaret Dutton, the patriarch and matriarch of the Dutton family.
Additional cast to be announced.
