The Resume

    (December 19, 2021- )
    Paramount Plus Network
    Sam Elliott as Shea Brennan
    Tim McGraw as James Dutton
    Faith Hill as Margaret Dutton
    Isabel May as Elsa Dutton (narrator)
    Audie Rick as John Dutton (future John, Sr.)
    Created by Taylor Sheridan
    A Yellowstone ‘origins’ story chronicling the ancestors of the Dutton family from Texas to Montana in the 19th century

Why 1883 might be annoying:

    Despite some persistent confusion, John, as played by Rick, is actually the great-grandfather of the future Dutton patriarch.
    Billy Bob Thornton (past his mid-60s) made a guest appearance as the real-life Jim Courtright (who didn’t live to his 40th birthday).
    It is a truly graphic series and not a quaint Bonanza-like adventure.
    Only the first two episodes are (and remain) available on the regular network; streaming is required for the rest.
    With at least two more in development, it would not be the only Yellowstone spinoff.

Why 1883 might not be annoying:

    In addition to being its sole writer, Sheridan directed the pilot episode and made a guest appearance in another.
    While the cast had initial, ahem, reservations about filming in the Montana cold, they certainly didn’t complain about the results.
    At just under 5 million streams, it was one of the highest-watched series premieres of all time (to be promptly passed by Halo, on the same network, at just over that mark).
    At least one non-regular Yellowstone cast member makes an appearance.
    As with The Wire, no regular character is guaranteed to last. (Need proof? Elsa died in the first-season finale.)
