Good news, Yellowstone fans! The Yellowstone the universe is expanding…again.
Thanks to the huge success of the flagship series, creator Taylor Sheridan was able to delve into the history of the Dutton family and explore their origins in two prequels, 1883 AND 1923.

According to the official synopsis (via Diversity), the series will “bring the legendary lawman of the Wild West back to life.
“Reeves, known as the greatest frontier hero in American history, worked in the post-Reconstruction era as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, capturing over 3,000 of the most dangerous criminals without ever being injured.”
Reeves was born into slavery in 1838. He joined the U.S. Marshals in 1875 and was assigned to the Western District of Arkansas, which also had authority over Native Reservation territory.
When Oklahoma became a U.S. state in 1907, Reeves was relieved of his marshal duties, although he continued to serve in law enforcement until 1909, the year before his death.
