Fans of the popular Western drama series Yellowstone can rejoice as the limited prequel series, 1883, is set to air a special broadcast on the Paramount Network.

Delivering yet another thrilling and engaging exploration of the American frontier, 1883 further solidified Yellowstone's popularity earning record numbers at Paramount+, a feat that it will likely replicate when it premieres on the network this June.
