1883 Season 2 Renewed & Will Focus On New Historical Character

Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as set to star as leads in the upcoming series. 6666 is a direct spinoff of Yellowstone and will feature the legendary Texas ranch the Four Sixes in a modern setting.

Born into slavery in 1838, Reeves escaped his owner during the American Civil War and lived with a few indigenous tribes.

During his time, Reeves arrested over 3,000 outlaws and killed 14, allegedly without ever suffering any serious injury.
