“We wanted to make a 10-hour movie with an ending, and that's what we did,” the
There won't be a second season of 1883, but more episodes are possible. The show's original creator, Taylor Sheridan, revealed that a spin-off called “1923” will supplement the 1883 series with additional episodes. Like 1883, this new series will have a total of ten episodes.
Adding to the confusion, 1883 creator and writer Taylor Sheridan told Deadline following the finale that, "We wanted to make a 10-hour movie that ended, and that's what we did," adding, "For me, as a storyteller it feels close ended. I'm going to peek through the window of a different era and see what I see then."
In fact, there will not be a second season of 1883 as it ends with Elsa. Elsa's death was vital for the plot of 1883. If she wouldn't have died, the Dutton family wouldn't have founded Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in Paradise Valley, Montana, Elsa's final resting place.
1883 canceled: Series creator explains why Yellowstone spinoff won't get season 2. Taylor Sheridan's western drama, 1883, just ended with a brilliant episode, making fans hope that there is more to come from the iconic creator. Although that will happen eventually, it won't be a part of 1883.
Elsa Dutton - John's great aunt
Elsa is the sister of John Dutton Senior, but her relationship with Costner's character is more complicated. As John Dutton Junior came into the mix, Elsa is Costner's character's great aunt.
Killing Elsa In 1883 Wasn't A Decision Made Lightly
However, what fans failed to realize is that Elsa's story was never meant to continue on, as 1883 was only meant to be a brief glimpse into the Dutton family's past. Sheridan explained (via Deadline), "as a storyteller it feels close ended."
Indeed, as there are no condoms or any other reliable form of birth control in the frontier, there's a real possibility that Ennis really did impregnate Elsa. Sadly, before 1883 could even drop any clues that Elsa was pregnant, Ennis died in the next episode while Elsa died during the finale.
Elsa Dutton
Along the trail, she fell in love with a cowboy, Ennis, and the two planned to marry before Ennis was shot by a group of bandits. Later, Elsa became entangled with Sam, a Comanche warrior who saved her life on the trail.
Elsa also serves as the narrator for the series, offering an unexpected perspective. She's an optimist with a rebellious spirit and defies gender stereotypes of the time. She also lends her narrating talents to the next installment in the Yellowstone universe, 1923.
Paramount+ had already greenlit the second season of 1883, a spinoff of Yellowstone. But key characters, including those played by Sam Elliott and Isabel May, were knocked off in the season finale.
We know death now—it has no fangs. It also does not have a second season. After a poignant and devastating 10-episode run, it has been confirmed that creator Taylor Sheridan's 1883, an explosive prequel to Yellowstone, is a one-and-done outing.
1883 isn't based on a true story. However, it does contain many historical references and elements that make the show an accurate representation of the time period. What is this? While the story of 1883 might not be real, the actors and background certainly look the part.
As it stands, there is no 1883 season 2 release date. In fact, the show has not been given a second season, and creator Taylor Sheridan suggested he's done everything he wanted to with that particular story.
Fans of the hit contemporary Western series who opt for a streaming service can watch episodes live on Philo (free trial), Fubo (free trial) and SlingTV. You will also be able to stream “1883″ on Paramount+.
We are excited to announce that the second season of the television series 1883 will include a total of ten episodes. Ron Burkle, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Taylor Sheridan, and Bob Yari served as executive producers of the series 1883.
Yellowstone fans know that Duttons have been buried in the same spot in Montana for over a century. The Dutton family cemetery makes more sense after 1883 revealed that Elsa was the first person to be buried on the land.

And because this is one of the few shows in which that phrase might be taken literally, allow me to clarify: Elsa gets married in Sunday's episode. The groom? Handsome Sam, the Comanche man she met [checks notes] last episode.
Spencer Dutton
Spencer is sibling to Elsa and John Sr. He is a former soldier-turned-big game hunter who is called home from Africa to help his family defend their land. While in Africa, Spencer meets and falls in love with Alex (Julia Schlaepfer), and they return to Montana together to help his family.
Margaret Dutton
She served as a nurse in the Civil War in which James fought in. She was the mother to three children (whom we meet in 1883), Elsa, John, and Spencer.
John Dutton Jr. Spencer Dutton is the youngest son of James and Margaret Dutton, born after the events of 1883. Spencer was born to James and Margaret Dutton.
1883 ended its first season in brutal fashion. The Yellowstone prequel starring Faith Hill and Tim McGraw wrapped its 10-episode season by killing off both their onscreen daughter, Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), and Pinkerton agent Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott).
1883, which concluded its first season in February 2022, featured Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as the central Duttons, who claim the infamous patch of Montana wild known as the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch after the tragic death of their daughter, Elsa.
