Hold onto your ten-gallon hats, Yellowstone fans! The prequel that had us hooked faster than a calf at branding time, "1883," might just be saddling up for another season. That's right, those rumors you heard whispered around the campfire? They might be more than just wishful thinking.

To Be Continued…? Taylor Sheridan Changes His Tune (and Our Hopes Soar!)

Now, we know what you're thinking: didn't Taylor Sheridan, the show's mastermind, say “no” to a Season 2 faster than you can say "Yellowstone"? Well, it seems even cowboys change their minds.

While Sheridan initially envisioned "1883" as a one-and-done miniseries, the show's wild success (and our desperate pleas for more Dutton family drama) seems to have swayed him.

Chris McCarthy, the bigwig over at ViacomCBS, recently spilled the beans (or should we say, spilled the campfire beans?) that there's still a whole lot of story left to tell in the "Yellowstone" universe.

"1883" Season 2? It’s not a “no” anymore… and in Hollywood, that’s practically a “yes”!

Release Date Roundup: When Can We Expect to Return to the Wild West?

Okay, okay, we know you're dying to dust off your cowboy boots and settle in for another season. But patience, young buckaroo! With "Yellowstone" itself gearing up for its highly anticipated return (and let’s be real, that show’s got priority), it’s unlikely we’ll see "1883" Season 2 before 2025.

But hey, good things come to those who wait, especially if those good things involve Faith Hill and Tim McGraw looking ridiculously attractive in period costumes.

The Cast: Who’s Returning, Who’s Riding Off Into the Sunset, and Who’s Got Us Saying “Yeehaw!”

The biggest question on everyone’s mind: will our favorite Dutton ancestors be back for more?

While nothing’s confirmed (this is Hollywood, after all, where secrets are more valuable than gold nuggets), there are whispers that Isabel May, who stole our hearts as the headstrong Elsa Dutton, is on board for another journey.

And our fingers are crossed tighter than a saddlebag strap that we’ll see the return of Tim McGraw (James Dillard), Faith Hill (Margaret Dutton), Sam Elliott (Shea Brennan), and Dawn Olivieri (Claire Dutton).

Plot Twists & Turns: What’s Next for the Duttons?

Season 1 of "1883" left us with more questions than a cattle drive gone wrong. What challenges will the Duttons face as they establish their Montana ranch? Will Elsa’s heartbreaking fate cast a shadow over the family? And will we finally get that Tim and Faith duet we’ve been dreaming of?

One thing’s for certain: Taylor Sheridan wouldn't bring "1883" back without a few surprises up his sleeve.

How to Watch (and Rewatch, and Rewatch Again):

While we wait with bated breath for any scrap of news about Season 2, there’s no better time to relive the epic journey of the Dutton family. Saddle up and head over to Paramount+, where you can stream every episode of "1883."

Trust us, it’s the perfect way to pass the time until we can return to the Wild West… and the even wilder world of the Duttons.
