‘Masterpiece’ Western 1883 Now Streaming on Netflix — A Must-Watch for Yellowstone Fans

Posted on by Harry

Yellowstone fans have a new reason to saddle up, as its acclaimed prequel 1883 has officially landed on Netflix. The series, which many have hailed as a “masterpiece,” is now available to stream in full — and it’s already captivating a whole new audience.

The Dutton Legacy Begins

Originally released in 2022 on Paramount+, 1883 marked the beginning of Taylor Sheridan’s sprawling Yellowstone universe. Set decades before John Dutton’s reign in Montana, the series follows James and Margaret Dutton (played by real-life couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill) as they flee poverty-stricken Texas to carve out a new life in the untamed American frontier.

Accompanying them is Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott), a battle-hardened ex-soldier leading a wagon train west through danger, loss, and discovery. Together, they set the foundation for the Dutton dynasty that Yellowstone fans know so well.What Happened To James & Margaret Dutton After 1883 (Will They Be In 1923?)

A Western Masterpiece

While 1883 serves as a prequel, it quickly earned respect as a standalone epic, praised for its stunning cinematography, emotional storytelling, and unflinching realism. The series currently boasts an 83% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, matching the original Yellowstone and proving that its smaller scale didn’t diminish its power.

Fans on social media have been unanimous in their praise:

  • “A truly inspiring, beautiful, and sad story,” wrote one viewer on X.

  • Another described it as “about as good as TV could ever get — beautifully filmed, brutal but never gratuitous.”

  • A third declared it “the best show ever made.”

The series’ blend of grit and grace has clearly struck a chord with audiences who continue to revisit it years later. As one fan put it: “Binge-watched it again, back to back — still phenomenal.”

From 1883 to 1923 — and Beyond

The success of 1883 paved the way for 1923, another Yellowstone prequel starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as Jacob and Cara Dutton. That series expanded the saga into the early 20th century, exploring the family’s struggles during Prohibition and the Great Depression.

Although Yellowstone itself wrapped up with its fifth and final season in December 2024, Taylor Sheridan’s Western world is far from over. Multiple spin-offs are already in development, including 1944, The Madison, Y-Marshals, and Dutton Ranch — the latter set to feature returning fan favourites Cole Hauser (Rip) and Kelly Reilly (Beth), alongside Hollywood heavyweights Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell.1923': What Happened to Margaret Dutton?

Why 1883 Is Worth the Ride

If Yellowstone explores power and legacy, 1883 is about survival and sacrifice — a raw and poetic look at how the Dutton empire began. The landscapes are breathtaking, the performances deeply human, and the storytelling a reminder of why the Western genre endures.

For fans seeking emotional depth, historical realism, and sweeping frontier drama, 1883 is essential viewing — and now, with all ten episodes streaming on Netflix, there’s never been a better time to revisit (or discover) this extraordinary chapter of the Dutton family saga.
