Sunday night was the season finale for 1833.
The series star, Tim McGraw shared, âWhat a season. So grateful to Taylor Sheridan and everyone involved in bringing 1883 to life. Itâs been absolutely incredible getting to work alongside Faith Hill, Sam Elliot, Isabel May, LaMonica Garrett, Audie Rick, Eric Nelson, James Landry Hebert, and the entire cast and crew.â

Tim recalls how the road to 1883 started with a call from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan to do a flashback scene on the hit Kevin Costner âIâd been a fan of Yellowstone since the first night it came out. So, Taylor called, and he goes, âHey man, I want you to be in Yellowstone, and youâre gonna play the original Dutton who founded the Yellowstone ranch. And he said, âYouâre also gonna have a wife. Do you think Faith would be interested in playing your wife?â.â

Even the showâs creator asking for his wife to co-star, Tim admits it still took him a couple of days to bring it up to Faith Hill, âAnd it took me about three days to get the nerve up to ask her. She said, âSure, Iâll be glad to do it. Itâll be fun.â So, we did two flashback episodes, but the first thing we shot, it was just so much fun. Weâre going so fast and the shootout was so great. I remember gettinâ off the horse and walkinâ around going, âI donât care if I do any other film for the rest of my life, I wanna do westerns from now on.ââ
Timâs request was answer when his phone ran not long after the filming concluded, âTaylor called me and said, âI showed the flashbacks to the studio and they want to do a whole series now.â So, when he sent the script for 1883 and we read it, Faith and I both were like, âThis is just too special. Itâs just too special not to do.â

Now that the first season of 1883 is done â Tim learned a lot more about acting the TV and movie making processâŠespecially from his co-star and veteran actor Sam ElliotâŠalthough Tim jokingly shares, it might not have going both waysâŠ
