Faith Hill and Isabel May chat with ET’s Cassie DiLaura about ‘1883.’ Portraying the ancestors of ‘Yellowstone’s Dutton family turned into a family affair behind the scenes for the actors. May plays Elsa, the daughter of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret (Hill). According to May, the role is ‘a dream come true’ and the married country music stars were like her real ‘mom and dad’ while filming. ‘1883’ premieres Dec. 19 on Paramount+.

    Isabel was SOOOOO good as Elsa! I'm blown away! That Tennessee accent! Wow! The writing, the darkness, the sets, the production, the props, the costumes, the cast, the acting! 10/10!
  • The Tim/Faith combo on this show with Isabel/ Elsa narrating was just a huge win for this show! It was SO, SO good!

    Isabel is going to be a big star! She should win an Emmy for 1883.

    I really love how this story is unfolding. Isabel narrating it is so deep where you actually feel her words. She is doing an amazing job acting also. Tim and Faith I have huge respect for. I am not much of a country music lover, but the fact they have been together in todays celebrity spotlight for so long and remained a fan favorite without bad publicity is rare, and every time I hear about them is always a positive experience

    This show deserves ALL the awards! Especially Tim McGraw. Man he really sold every emotion. You can tell he really pulled every emotion from his soul as a father.
  • My brother and I were glued to this. This is is best programme that has been on all year. I cried at the end Isobel you were brilliant.

    Isabel May is quite the talented actress. I've never seen a performance from an actress quite like the show she puts on in 1883 as Elsa Dutton. She did an incredible job with the accent, all of her deliveries, and conveying emotion that really gave the show such a raw feel. Fantastic series that was really brought home by such a well-rounded cast!
  • Everyone is talking about Isabel, which I agree. Can we talk about Faith?? I had no idea she was such a great actress!! The whole crew is amazing!
  • This was a great series. This should be required watching in all school curriculum. The struggles these pioneers went through is a great lesson in humility. Brilliant cast.

    I have been blown away by how good this show has been. The intensity of feelings, from joy to despair, hits me every episode. It was cool that Tom Hanks made a cameo appearance too. I'm a huge fan!
  • @MrJimmy1953
    This is one of the most brilliant series I’ve ever seen.

    Usually prequels and sequels are just a bonus for the fans of the main series.. But 1883?! It was the best series I EVER have seen. I loved it so much, even more than Yellowstone itself. Elsa really is a stunner. But she not only looks amazing, she has so much charakter and is so unbelievably strong. Well played! A big thank you to all of the cast!

    The 1883 series is beyond amazing, it transported me into their journey. It took me a week to snap out of Elsa's death. In my family tree their are legends that a few of my distant relatives were attacked scalped. It brought to life what happened. I watched each episode at least 10 times. I loved Elsa's narrative perspective. Superb!!

    narration makes this series so excellent, Sam Elliot made it real for me along with May
