Yellowstone’s 1883 Cancellation, Explained

The show 1883, a spin-off of Yellowstone, first aired in December 2021 and concluded with ten episodes in February 2022. Although many expected a second season of 1883, it never came to be. Instead, a different story within the Yellowstone universe was developed. It’s surprising, given the show’s critical success – it received three Primetime Emmy Award nominations – that a second season wasn’t made. However, there were valid reasons why 1883 didn’t continue.
