Paramount+Follow the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America. 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.
The show follows the Dutton family’s brutal westward journey in the late 19th century, framed with the scale of a feature film and the bite of real history.

We all know that Hollywood froths at the mouth at connected shows, but Taylor Sheridan's shared universe is among the best.1883’s commitment to telling a complete story feels bold.
Emotional Depth: At its core, 1883 was a story about love, loss, and the enduring power of family. The show didn’t shy away from exploring the darker aspects of human nature, but it also celebrated the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
