And it’s not a surprise that the first project to come out of that deal is a Yellowstone spinoff, revealed to be a prequel titled Y: 1883.
But just because it’s not surprising doesn’t mean it’s not awesome, and the spinoff’s first Super Bowl-set teaser got a bunch of celebratory responses from both Yellowstone cast members and fans.
With its first three seasons, Paramount Network’s Yellowstone became the most watched and highest-rated scripted series in all of cable, so there’s no big mystery behind parent company CBSViacom’s decision to sign a mega-lucrative deal with co-creator Taylor Sheridan.
