Vince Gill is one of the most important country musicians of his generation, but his career outlook wasn’t always so rosy.

When additional episodes of 1883 were announced, many speculated that would amount to a second season of the 19th century western drama. That’s not quite true.

That’s according to executive producer David Glaser, who talked to the Hollywood Reporter for a story published
It’s really not fair to say 1883 ended exactly how we thought it would, even if that’s the truth.
