Yahoo News Yellowstone prequel 1923 : Everything we know
You simply cannot have too many stories about the Duttons. At least that's what Paramount+ is hoping with its latest series in the Yellowstone universe.
Following on the heels of the first successful Yellowstone prequel, 1883, 1923 — originally titled 1932 — will tell another Dutton-centric story in the days before Kevin Costner's John Dutton started running things. (Flagship series Yellowstone, a massive success for Paramount Network, is currently gearing up for its fifth season, which sees John sworn in as governor of Montana.)
The new series from showrunner Taylor Sheridan has recruited some of Hollywood's biggest names to help tell its story. As anticipation for the prequel builds, we've rounded up everything we know about the upcoming drama.
