NOTE: this post contains spoilers for 1883 episode 1, "1883."
Taylor Sheridan is already the king of the modern western, see Hell or High Water, Sicario and Wind River and of course Yellowstone for proof of that (Yellowstone season 5, the show's final season, is currently on hiatus). Yellowstone was the jumping off point for 1883, which takes us back to the time period we generally think of with the western genre, the late 19th century, and introduces us to the Dutton family that came to settle Montana and build their empire.
