This is not the first spinoff of Yellowstone. The series already has another successful spinoff called 1883 which starred real-life couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as James and Margaret Dutton. They were seen traveling to Montana.

Speaking about what viewers can expect to see with his character, Ford told Vanity Fair: “He’s the silverback. He’s responsible for that branch of the family. These are two people with a very strong bond to each other who are facing really complicated circumstances.”

Ford also added that the family will have to deal with tough situations throughout the limited series. 

“The Duttons live by a code of behavior that they set for themselves and it requires complicated moral and ethical judgment. It’s not just the physical life that’s hard. The challenges that they face from modernity, the challenges to their way of life, to their freedom and the opportunities that they’ve enjoyed, is a big part of the story,” he said.
