Yellowstone spinoff series
1883 season 2 has been officially renewed and will focus on Bass Reeves. The show began as a Sheridan project, unaffiliated with the

1883: The Bass Reeves Story. It has yet to be revealed if any of the original cast will return for the upcoming season.,Whether or not Reeves will interact with the Dutton’s in
1883 season 2 remains to be seen. Although it is a possibility the two parties will cross paths, it is may be unlikely as
1883: The Bass Reeves Story began production as a standalone project. Although no specific details regarding the upcoming series’ relationship with the franchise have been revealed, it is possible for the fabled lawman to join the cast of the previous season.,At the conclusion of
1883 season 1, Dutton vowed to settle his family and build a home where his daughter Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) died. As explained in the series, as well in the original
Yellowstone series, which sees Dutton’s descendants still living on the land, the territory was once the home of many indigenous peoples. Although Reeves primarily served as a deputy U.S. Marshal in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, it is possible for the upcoming show to feature an outlaw fugitive that leads the lawman up to Montana and the Duttons’ family ranch. Only time will tell if Reeves’ story will intertwine with James Dutton’s in
1883: The Bass Reeves Story as the series has yet to receive a release date.,Next: 1883 Season 1 Ending Explained & Future Yellowstone Shows Setup,Source: Deadline
