Tim McGraw on 1883 and Why He Wanted to Be Part of the Yellowstone Prequel Series

With the first two episodes of 1883 premiering tomorrow night on Paramount , I recently got to speak with Tim McGraw about making the Yellowstone prequel series. During the interview, McGraw talked about what drew him to the role, how he and his wife (Faith Hill) have been fans of Yellowstone since the first episode, why he loved Taylor Sheridan’s scripts for 1883, the many challenges of filming on location for both the cast and crew, why he’s so excited for people to see his wife’s performance, and how the series tries to show what it was really like in 1883. If you haven’t seen the 1883 trailer, the prequel series was created by Taylor Sheridan, and it explores the Dutton family’s journey west through the Great Plains and how they ended up owning their expansive Montana ranch as seen on Yellowstone. 1883 also stars Sam Elliott, Isabel May, LaMonica Garrett, Audie Rick, Marc Rissmann, Eric Nelsen, and James Landry Hébert.
