Want to watch 1883’s extended features without signing up for Paramount Network or cable? Outsider has you covered.
In 1883, the Yellowstone origin story and first prequel to the hit television series, we’re introduced to the original Duttons. Led by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as James and Margaret alongside Sam Elliott’s Shea Brennan, the riveting Western epic is also a retelling of America’s Westward Expansion, and quite possibly the best made yet.
This summer, Paramount is bringing the entire series to their cable channel, Paramount Network for the first time, with extended features and a ton of brand new “Behind the Story” content. Each offers incredible insight for Yellowstone fans, but what about those who watched the show on its original streaming home of Paramount Plus? Outsider has you covered.
Below, you’ll find each of 1883‘s Extended Features as they release. Within, the cast and crew break down each episode, so be warned of spoilers ahead!
