Why is '1883' Episode 6 not airing tonight? Here's what to expect when it premieres
Season 4 of ‘Yellowstone’ broke viewing records and the finale became the most-watched TV episode since 2017. After the success of the Paramount show, the network decided to expand the universe with a prequel/spin-off show titled ‘1883’. The show tells the story of how the Duttons turned out to be so influential in the area and how they reached here.
Just like ‘Yellowstone’, the prequel received positive reviews from everywhere and enthralled viewers with a stunning back story. As the show slowly and steadily inches toward its season finale, the network has decided to take a shocking decision and broke the hearts of millions of fans.
