'1883' Sneak Peek: Get to Know the Dutton Family in 'Yellowstone' Spinoff First Look Photos
Sam Elliott as Shea Brennan
While many shows today use special effects, Sheridan didn't want to do that in 1883. Instead, the show has a lived-in quality, thanks to the genuine location work in Texas and the attention to detail seen on costumes and sets. "I go shoot these corners of the world that people haven't seen," Sheridan told Entertainment Weekly in November. "The audience today is so experienced. They've seen so much, so to move the audience becomes more and more difficult. It's incredibly expensive and very difficult. But we can do it as John Ford did it. When you need 50 wagons, you're going to see 50 [real] wagons."

This isn't the first time McGraw's fans have seen him act. He had roles in Friday Night Lights and The Blind Side. However, it is the first time he has acted with Hill, whose own acting credits include Dixieland and The Stepford Wives. "To see my beautiful wife on horseback, firing guns, and having dirt all over her face, I just sit in awe. She's a strong woman, anyway," McGraw told EW. "Taylor said early on to me, 'Man, you'll just get on that horse. You're not scared of anything.' I said, 'I'm scared of one thing. She's right over there.'"

The Dutton family will also meet Native Americans on their journey. Graham Greene, who earned an Oscar nomination for his performance in Costner's Dances with Wolves, will star as Spotted Eagle, a Crow elder they meet and tells James Dutton about Paradise Valley, reports Variety. Greene also worked with Sheridan on Wind River.

While May is one of the youngest stars on the show, she isn't a newcomer to television. She previously starred on Netflix's Alexa & Katie as Katie Cooper. She also had a recurring role on CBS' Young Sheldon as Veronica Duncan. Audie Rick, who plays her on-screen brother in 1883, is making his debut in the series.
