Real life husband and wife Tim McGraw and Faith hill are receiving critical acclaim for their acting in the Yellowstone origin story. However, Tim gives a lot of credit to 1883 creator Taylor Sheridan and his attention to details for the success of the series.

“He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around. He’s always comin’ up with little ideas like, ‘Why are you wearing your gun that way? They didn’t wear their guns that way. Don’t roll up your sleeve. Cowboys didn’t roll up their sleeve.’ Stuff that he knows that I had no idea about that makes it work. I think he tries to make it as real and as authentic and as historically accurate as he possibly can.”

Last Sunday (2/20) episode nine of ten aired. That means this week will be the final episode of the season. However, there will be more.

The word from Paramount Plus last week is that Taylor Sheridan has five new projects in the pipeline, including more episodes of 1883. Unfortunately, there is no word on when, how many or whether a full second season is in the works.
