“Yellowstone” fans or those curious about what all the fuss is about can now catch how the saga of a wealthy rancher family began, migrating west in “1883.” The series, which streamed exclusively on Paramount+, is now airing Sundays on the Paramount cable network. It stars Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Isabel May and LaMonica Garrett. Elliott won a Screen Actors Guild award for his work on the show. “1883” was the first of a number of “Yellowstone” spin-offs in the works.
