How to watch 1883 online to see the Yellowstone prequel right now

You can travel back in time to the Wild West when you watch 1883 online right now to see the Yellowstone prequel. The Paramount Plus series stars Sam Elliott as a cowboy trail guide and country singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as James and Margaret Dutton.

They will eventually settle a ranch in Montana that their descendant John Dutton (Kevin Costner) runs in the present day of Yellowstone season 4. 

But they'll have to get to Montana first. The Duttons, along with their daughter Elsa (Isabel May) are journeying through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America. Guiding them on the harsh, unforgiving path is tough-as-nails cowboy Shea Brennan (Elliott) and Pinkerton agent Thomas (LaMonica Garrett). The Duttons will encounter characters with good and bad intentions, played by guest stars like Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Billy Bob Thornton..
