There will not be a second season for the television series "1883." However, in its continuity, "1883" is succeeded by "1923," a sequel series that also unfolds before the events transpiring in "Yellowstone."

"1883" is an acclaimed American Western drama television miniseries crafted by the talented creator, Taylor Sheridan. It made its highly-anticipated debut on December 19, 2021, exclusively on the Paramount+ platform. The stellar cast includes Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sam Elliott, Isabel May, LaMonica Garrett, Marc Rissmann, Audie Rick, Eric Nelsen, and James Landry Hébert.

Positioned as a prequel to Sheridan's immensely popular series "Yellowstone," "1883" serves as the chronological genesis of the Dutton family's journey, shedding light on how they acquired the land that eventually blossomed into the iconic Yellowstone Ranch.

A noteworthy addition to the esteemed Yellowstone franchise, this captivating series comprises a total of ten enthralling episodes, reaching its conclusion on February 27, 2022. Narrated with finesse by Isabel May, "1883" left an indelible mark on audiences, prompting eager anticipation for its sequel, "1923," which graced our screens on December 18, 2022, once again, with May lending her captivating narration.

How many seasons of 1883?

The TV drama "1883" encompasses a single season, comprising a total of ten compelling episodes. Paramount has undergone various iterations of their plans for extending the episode count of "1883." Despite these deliberations, no additional episodes were ultimately produced for the series.

Initially presented as a limited series, in February 2022, Paramount raised expectations by announcing the development of "additional episodes" following the first season. However, instead of a conventional second season, it was later revealed that a sequel show, initially titled "1932" but later renamed "1923," would continue the narrative.

Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind "1883," perceives the series as a complete 10-hour cinematic experience with a definitive conclusion, effectively categorizing it as a limited series.

In May 2022, Paramount disclosed that the previously announced Sheridan-led series, "Bass Reeves," would serve as a spinoff to "1883," aptly named "1883: The Bass Reeves Story." Subsequently, the lengthier title was eventually simplified and dropped.

What is 1883 about?

Eventually, their arduous odyssey leads them to Montana, where they lay the foundations for what will eventually evolve into the esteemed Yellowstone Ranch.
