[This story contains major spoilers from The Amateur, which is now playing in theaters.]

New fear unlocked.

“Even looking into it, you would never get me into it,” James Hawes, director of The Amateur, told The Hollywood Reporter about that terrifying pool-collapse moment in the film at last week’s premiere.

During the scene, Rami Malek’s character, Charles Heller, a CIA decoder, confronts one of the men involved in the murder of his wife, Sarah (played by Rachel Brosnahan), on top of a pool based in Madrid. As Charles isn’t getting the answer he needs about who actually pulled the trigger on his wife, he pulls the trigger on the remote, which shatters the pool’s glass floor, and Mishka Blazhic (Marc Rissmann) falls to his death.

“The idea is inspired in the 1981 novel by a giant aquarium with people swimming in it, and so we’ve taken that and transitioned it and developed it into a sky-top pool,...

For the week of Mar. 10 and 16, Yellowstone's first prequel, 1883, made its debut on Netflix. Although it's not available on the streaming platform in the U.S., as Paramount Pictures streams it on its platform, Paramount+, the spinoff series became a hit globally.

The ten-episode spinoff received 2.9 million views globally, and reached the Top 10 in 34 countries across the world. It entered the Top 10 in seventh place, just ahead of Ms. Rachel Season 1, American Murder: Gabby Petito, and the limited series Toxic Town.

Taylor Sheridan’s dedication to authenticity is unmatched, and he proved just how far he was willing to go for his art during the filming of a scene for his Yellowstone prequel series titled 1883. He actually risked a lot for this 2021 miniseries starring Sam Elliott & Tim McGraw to capture a pivotal scene, adding an unparalleled layer of authenticity to the gripping tale.

The genius behind the cultural phenomenon of Yellowstone has not only given us a riveting portrayal of the Dutton family’s legacy, with coming attractions like the sequel show tentatively named 2024 but also two enthralling prequels—1883 and 1923.

Earlier this year, in an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Sheridan shared some fascinating insights into the real history of the Wild West in the late 1800s that served as the inspiration for 1883.

From History Books to Screens: Taylor Sheridan’s Journey...

The 1883 ending of the Yellowstone prequel series provides important insight into the difficulties the Dutton family faced in establishing their ranch. Elsa's death in the 1883 ending marked the end of one chapter for the Dutton family and foreshadowed tensions between Indigenous American communities and the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in present times. The 1883 ending sets the stage for future series in the Yellowstone franchise, including the spinoff 1923, and explores the roots of conflicts that drive the Yellowstone universe.

The 1883 ending tied up the 10-episode prequel series to Yellowstone and deftly set up the future of the Dutton family. 1883 tells the tale of how the Duttons came to own the land in Montana which would become the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. The series centers on James Dillard Dutton (Tim McGraw), his wife Margaret (Faith Hill), their eldest daughter and show narrator Elsa (Isabel May), and Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) the leader...

Swimming was indeed illegal in Germany, although not in the 19th century as 1883 claimed. The ban started in the 1530s and expanded to punish drowned offenders by whipping their bodies before burial. Despite Josef's claim about the swimming ban, it is possible that he was exaggerating to gain sympathy and find a safer place to cross. The spinoff series 1923 portrays the immigrants of the time with better historical accuracy, showcasing violent conflicts between established cowboys and immigrant sheep-herders over grazing land, similar to the real frontier.

Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone spinoff 1883 is filled with various historical facts about the late 19th century, including how it was illegal to swim in Germany at the time — a seemingly minor detail that ended up causing tragedy for the caravan of German, Romani, and American settlers being led by Shea Brennan (Sam Elliot), Thomas (Lamonica Garrett), and James Dutton (Tim McGraw). In 1883 season 1, episode 3 “The Crossing,...

The following post contains spoilers for "1883."

The Taylor Sheridan Western drama "Yellowstone" is still going strong, and in late 2021, the prequel series "1883" premiered. In the present day, the central Dutton family has the largest ranch in Montana. Almost a century and a half before that, however, the Duttons were part of a group of people heading to Oregon to start a new life. They crossed America in covered wagons, facing the dangers of the trail, bandits, weather, disease, and so much more. Americans who lived on the East coast weren't the only settlers of the American West, though. In fact, many of those pioneering and brave people weren't American at all. 

The limited series begins as James Dutton's (Tim McGraw) family comes to meet him on a train from their former home in Tennessee. They are escorted through the wilds of the West by Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott...

After some confusion surrounding the future of the 1883 television series, we finally have some clarification. There will be a second season and it will revolve around real-life lawman Bass Reeves with David Oyelowo in the lead role.

Streaming on the Paramount+ subscription service, the 1883 TV show debuted in December and the first season follows a previous generation of Yellowstone's Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plain, to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch.

The relative newcomer’s role in the show, which premiered in December, wound up being a major one, with Brancusi featuring in the majority of its 10-episode first season.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details from Sunday’s Season 1 finale of Paramount+’s 1883.

Larry McMurtry was a literary inspiration for writer-director Taylor Sheridan, who took a page from the miniseries adaptation of that late author’s Lonesome Dove by scattering the harsh terrain with the bodies of its most beloved characters in the Paramount+ 101 Studios MTV Entertainment series. Sheridan’s 10-episode odyssey, about the push to Montana by the ancestors of Yellowstone‘s Dutton clan, saw the death of the show’s bright young narrator, Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), the grizzled Pinkerton agent Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott), and most of the European settlers who made the trip from Fort Worth, Texas in a ragtag wagon train caravan.

While there has been speculation of another season with this iteration of the Duttons once they arrived in Montana, a conversation that follows here with Sheridan that can only make you think,...

1883 Episode 10

Near the conclusion of this 1883 season 1 finale, the great Graham Greene’s newly-introduced character, Spotted Eagle, tells Tim McGraw’s hero of the story, James Dutton, that James looks “like a man who plans”.

There’s a reason 1883’s creator, Taylor Sheridan often writes about these steadfast characters born of an era where a man’s love of his family and his land was everything. There’s a reason why Sheridan always has the Dutton family typically one step ahead of their rivals. It’s because good writers write what they know. Good writers… write about themselves.

It is crystal clear that Sheridan has always had a plan for 1883, and it has been evident from the very first episode. Fans who will go back to the premiere now that the season is complete will pick up on hints and foreshadowing Sheridan left that are...

How difficult will the Dutton family's journey become in the first season of the 1883 TV show on Paramount+? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like 1883 is cancelled or renewed for season two.

1883 Episode 9

Taylor Sheridan clearly came in with a plan of attack for the debut season of his prequel, 1883. The pacing throughout this batch of episodes has been a carefully crafted ride, swooping up hills, dipping into valleys, coupled with a great balance of character development, shootouts, and old-West chaos to keep any audience member entertained. A major component of that ride has been the season-long mystery of what will become of Dutton-daughter Elsa (Isabel May).

In the season premiere, audiences were witnesses to the show’s golden-haired heart shot through the belly with a Lacota arrow in a horrific attack on her group of pioneers. That scene, literally a fiery introduction to the motifs of the show, conveyed the death and danger that would become characters of their own throughout the 9 episodes so far, but it left many questions. How did this happen? When does this scene fit into the timeline?...

The Dutton family's journey is continuing. Paramount+ has ordered additional episodes of the 1883 drama which launched on December 19th. The streaming service didn't call the order a second season or a renewal but, as THR notes, "adding another batch of episodes to an existing season is sometimes a contractual sleight of hand used in order to continue a series without invoking the salary bumps triggered by an additional season order."
