Talyor Sheridan's YELLOWSTONE Spinoff Series 1923 Gets a December Premiere Date
Paramount+ announced that Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Yellowstone prequel series 1923, is set to premiere on Sunday, December 18th. That’s great news! That’s a lot sooner than I was expecting.
The series will focus on the Dutton family’s “next two generations as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft; all battled beneath the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the nation by almost a decade. The show will also touch on the end of World War I, which occurred in 1918.”
The story will also explore the “construction of the sprawling Yellowstone ranch in Montana, the series is also shooting in South Africa, Tanzania, and Malta, to give a sense of the saga’s scope.”
It was recently revealed that the series will also now consist of two eight-episode seasons. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren star in the series as Jacob Dutton, the head of the Yellowstone ranch and brother of James Dutton and Cara Dutton, the wife to Jacob. They are joined by James Badge Dale, Robert Patrick. Brandon Sklenar, Sebastian Roché, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, and Julia Schlaepfer. Negotiations are underway to bring back the cast for another season.
As a fan of Yellowstone and 1883, I’m pretty damn excited for this series. There are also two more shows being considered that will be set in the 1940s and the 1960s.
