Yellowstone is set to wrap up with Season 5 Part 2, but the Duttons will live on through the show’s various spinoffs, including 1923 – so, here’s everything you need to know about the prequel series’ Season 2.
1923 is a successor to 1883, with both spin-offs being prequels to Yellowstone, Taylor Sheridan’s smash-hit Western show on Paramount.
Much like its 19th-century predecessor, the series centers on an earlier generation of the Dutton family, with a cast led by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
While the flagship show is coming to an end, 1923 Season 2 is on the way – so, here’s what we know so far.
Is there a 1923 Season 2 release?
1923 Season 2 doesn’t have a release date right now, and it could be some time before we see it, as production had been delayed due to now-resolved the writers and actors strike.
Prior to the strikes, predictions suggested it could arrive on screens in late 2023, if not 2024. However, in June 2023, it was revealed that the second chapter of the show will be delayed indefinitely, and this was only emphasized by the recent WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. With the strikes now over, there haven’t been many new details about Season 2.
In December 2023, production manager Charlie Skinner confirmed to NBC Montana that Season 2 will be filmed in Butte, Montana – but a start date hasn’t been set yet. We’ll be sure to keep this section updated when the situation changes.
Unlike 1883, which is a standalone story with the exception of the Bass Reeves spinoff, the second season renewal for 1923 was confirmed earlier in February 2023. Given its premiere was the most-watched of 2022 across the US on cable, drawing in 7.4 million viewers, it’s not surprising.
Pre-production on the first season kicked off in July 2022, with Episode 1 then launching on Paramount+ in December.
1923 Season 2 cast: Who’s in it?
1923 is expected to bring back most of its cast for Season 2, including:
- Helen Mirren as Cara Dutton
- Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton
- Sebastian Roché as Father Renaud
- Darren Mann as Jack Dutton
- Michelle Randolph as Elizabeth Strafford
- Aminah Nieves as Teonna Rainwater
- Brandon Sklenar as Spencer Dutton
- Robert Patrick as Sheriff William McDowell
- Jerome Flynn as Banner Creighton
- Timothy Dalton as Donald Whitfield
One person who won’t be returning is James Badge Dale as John Dutton Sr., who was killed in Episode 3. We also won’t see Marley Shelton as Emma Dutton in Season 2, as her character took her own life following James’ death, nor Jennifer Ehle’s Sister Mary, as she was murdered in an act of revenge by Teonna.
“I took the job without a script on both of them, on faith that the people who created the projects were going to deliver me a good script. I really didn’t realize how much work 1923 was going to be, and I absolutely feel it’s worth it. I’m excited to do another season of both,” he said.
Speaking to Town & Country, Mirren said the show’s renewal was “very happy news as far as I was concerned.”
“Doing this sort of work is a journey into the unknown. I’m fascinated to see where Cara is going to go. Taylor [showrunner Taylor Sheridan] did say she is very much of her era, she’s looking after the house. That is what her job is. But then he said, ‘Wait, things are going to happen.’ So we’ll see,” she said.
1923 Season 2 plot: What’s it about?
We don’t have an official synopsis for 1923 Season 2, but it’s expected to follow the continuing trials of tribulations of the Dutton clan and the range war.
The first season’s synopsis says it will “introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.”
We’ll update this space upon further details being shared.
Is there a 1923 Season 2 trailer?
No, there isn’t a trailer for 1923 Season 2 right now, but we’ll update this space once it’s shared online. You can watch the trailer for the first season below:
How to watch 1923 Season 2
1923 Season 2 will be available to watch on Paramount+ upon release, with the first episode likely premiering on the Paramount Network before its run is exclusive to the streaming platform.
