As of June 2025, there are no plans for a second season of 1883. The series was conceived as a standalone prequel to Yellowstone, chronicling the Dutton family’s arduous journey to Montana. Although Paramount+ initially announced additional episodes in early 2022, these plans were later shelved. Creator Taylor Sheridan has emphasized that 1883 was intended as a complete, self-contained narrative .
Instead of continuing 1883, the Dutton saga progresses through 1923, another prequel series that debuted in December 2022. Starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, 1923 explores the family’s challenges during Prohibition, the Great Depression, and other historical events. The second and final season of 1923 premiered on February 23, 2025, on Paramount+ .
For fans eager to delve deeper into the Yellowstone universe, upcoming projects include 1944, focusing on the Duttons’ experiences post-World War II, and The Madison, a new series featuring Michelle Pfeiffer. These additions continue to expand the rich tapestry of stories surrounding the Dutton family .
In summary, while 1883 will not return for a second season, its legacy endures through subsequent series that explore the Dutton family’s lineage and the evolving American frontier.
