The Yellowstone timeline continues with 1923, the Golden Globes-nominated neo-Western drama’s latest prequel series that delves into the Dutton family legacy.
1923 picks up where Yellowstone’s first spinoff, 1883, left off and “will introduce a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren), [and will] explore the early 20th 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,” per the show’s official synopsis.
For those who need a Dutton family tree refresher, Ford’s character is the brother of James Dutton (played by Tim McGraw in 1883), the great-great-great-grandfather of John Dutton III (played by Kevin Costner in the modern-day Yellowstone series). James Badge Dale stars as John Dutton Sr. (portrayed in 1883 as child by Audie Rick), Darren Mann plays his son, Jack Dutton (modern-day John Dutton’s grandfather) and Brandon Sklenar is John Dutton Sr.’s brother, Spencer Dutton.
This Dutton era’s leading women are Cara Dutton (Mirren), the wife of Jacob Dutton (Ford), and Emma Dutton (Marley Shelton), the wife of John Dutton Sr. (Dale).
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is behind 1883 and 1923 (which was originally titled 1932), and the Western franchise will continue with 6666, which will focus on a ranch “founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas… where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing,” according to the series’ plot summary.
