premiering this weekend following the new Yellowstone, then streaming on Paramount+

really hoping its as good as its looked. I think they've shown just the right amount in the previews. read that Sheridan really kept it so everything is legitimate and not rely on cgi if they could avoid it. said something along the lines of "if the shot required 50 wagons, we got 50 wagons"

we continue to live in a real-time "monsters are due on maple street."

weird - Paramount had announced it was extended for a second season, but Sheridan just confirmed it was always a limited series and wont continue. Not the wrong move, IMO. It wrapped up fine for the single story it was attempting to tell and will see progress of it in 1923.

Paramount+ Wanted a Second Season But That’s Not What Taylor Sheridan Had in Mind
Originally, Paramount+ ordered additional episodes of 1883 thanks to its widespread success. However, Taylor Sheridan had no intention of carrying on the storyline of 1883. He created the show to be a limited series with the storyline ending in one season.

The studio wanted Sheridan to continue on with a second season as if the deaths in the series never happened. However, Sheridan was not willing to do this. Instead, Sheridan proposed the idea of another spin-off, 1923, picking up the story of the Duttons 40 years later.

1923 premiered in December 2022 and began a new chapter in the story of the Dutton family. The series has already been renewed for a second season after a successful first season.
