The producer also praised Sheridan's ability to tell the viewer Elsa's death is imminent and still have them think she'll survive. ![]() ![]() Glasser reiterates that the entire journey comes together for each character on 1883, for good or bad the closure they needed was achieved. Rather than throw Elsa's death in the finale as a way to shock audiences and get them to tune in for a second season, 1883 was leading to this end from the very beginning. Producer David Glasser echoed Sheridan's opinion that this is a story that had a definitive ending from the beginning. Sheridan explained (via Deadline), " as a storyteller it feels close ended." However, what fans failed to realize is that Elsa's story was never meant to continue on, as 1883 was only meant to be a brief glimpse into the Dutton family's past.

What was most shocking about how Elsa died in 1883 is that it had seemed like she would be the protagonist of a new story. Elsa was the heart and soul of the show, and her fate encapsulates the social commentary and overarching themes of not just 1883, but the rest of Sheridan's neo-Western universe. In the 1883 finale, Elsa Dutton's fate answered the question of what the family had to give up in order to claim the land, revealing why the Duttons have such a deep connection with Paradise Valley.

This is because, prior to Elsa's death, the location of Paradise Valley was revealed to James by an Indigenous man.

In turn, these heroic cowboys were clearly the inspiration for the character of Elsa Dutton herself.Įlsa Dutton's death in 1883 had to happen in order to close the story of how the Duttons found Paradise Valley, which is ultimately a lesson in the dark, cruel history of white America, from which Sheridan borrows the conflicts that drive his neo-Western universe.

What makes Lawmen: Bass Reeves different than 1883 is that Bass Reeves was a real historical figure whose ability to speak various Indigenous languages made him crucial to peace efforts following his installation as a federal U.S. Though set in the same era, Lawmen: Bass Reeves' retelling of Reeves' real story pushes Sheridan's neo-Western universe toward further exploring early racial politics in the country, which is an extension of 1883's examination of how the Westward Expansion of America trampled over entire Indigenous nations.
