Despite the initial disappointment of 1883 being planned as a single-season series, show creator Taylor Sheridan responded to the fans’ desire for more. While Season 2 is not on the horizon, Sheridan has announced the production of additional episodes that will act as a continuation of the story.
The future of 1883 and 1923
Reports suggest that Paramount+ confirmed the release of several “bonus episodes” for 1883 in the middle of 2023. However, a full 10-episode second season is not guaranteed. Instead, the storyline will transition to another series called 1923, which will pick up where the first season of 1883 left off. The exact details of this transition and the future of the series remain unconfirmed.

While the news of a different series is intriguing, fans are eager for the continuation of 1883 itself. Nonetheless, 1923 promises to explore the lives of a new generation of Duttons, navigating the eras of Western expansion, prohibition, and the Great Depression. The resilience of the Dutton family in the face of societal challenges during the 1930s sets the stage for a compelling narrative.
