Paramount + and MTV Entertainment Studios announced that Academy Award nominee legend Sam Elliott ( left ) will star alongside global superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ( above ) in the upcoming original series 1883 . Created by Taylor Sheridan , 1883 is the highly anticipated prequel to the Emmy nominated Yellowstone .
1883 follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America . It is a stark retelling of Western expansion , and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America ’ s promised land - Montana .
Elliott is set to play Shea Brennan , a tough as nails , handsome cowboy with immense sadness in his past . He has the herculean task of guiding a group
from Texas to Montana , and he does not suffer fools . McGraw and Hill will portray James and Margaret Dutton , the patriarch and matriarch of the Dutton family , respectively .
“ This is truly a dream job ,” said Tim McGraw . “ Taylor has found a way of storytelling that brilliantly creates these epic dramas and family sagas with so much depth and creativity . The Duttons are tremendous characters and it ’ s so thrilling to be able to bring them to life . As a kid growing up riding horses , you think about dream jobs like this and I am just so excited to work with this amazing cast and crew .”
“ This is the opportunity of a lifetime ,” said Faith Hill . “ The Duttons are a formidable family and it is an absolute dream to bring such a strong female character like Margaret Dutton to life . I am humbled and honoured to work with Taylor and his entire team .”
1883 will be executive produced by Taylor Sheridan , John Linson , Art Linson , David Glasser , Ron Burkle and Bob Yari .
