After the grand success of Yellowstone, show co-creator Taylor Sheridan is in the works of creating multiple spin-offs and prequel series.

The first of those prequels to hit the big screen is 1883, which came out in December 2021.

1883 follows James and Margaret Dutton, along with their children James and Elsa, as they flee poverty in Tennessee. The family joins a European immigrant wagon train in Texas and heads out West.

The journey is full of dangers, from bad weather, disease, and attacks from outside forces. At the end of their journey, the Duttons eventually settle on a beautiful plot of land in Montana, which becomes the formidable Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.

When will season two of 1883 premiere?

While there is no official release date yet for season two of 1883, many speculate that it will be released in late 2022 or early 2023.

In February 2022, Paramount+ made an announcement that the “next chapter” of 1883 would premiere in late 2022. However, some sources now believe the show won’t premiere until sometime in 2023.

Unlike season one of 1883 which followed the Dutton family, season two is set to follow lawman Bass Reaves. There is no indication if the Duttons will play a role in the new season.

Officially known as 1883: The Bass Reeves Story, the second season will focus on the real-life story of Bass Reeves. Reeves was the first black deputy of the U.S. Marshals to serve West of the Mississippi River.

During his career, Reeves learned to speak multiple Native American languages, and he arrested over 3,000 outlaws. He is supposedly the inspiration for the iconic character The Lone Ranger.
