First came Yellowstone, then came 1883, 1883: The Bass Reeves Story and 6666. And now, there's 1932, another Yellowstone prequel series that'll follow the Duttons during — you guessed it — the 1930s.
After the success of the show's first spinoff, 1883, Paramount+ announced another limited series titled 1932 in February 2022. While 1883 focused on the first generation of Duttons who established the family's sprawling Montana ranch, 1932 is set to highlight their descendants.
Paramount+ has announced that the first episode of the “Yellowstone” prequel series “1932” will debut on Sunday, Dec. 18. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren will star in the new show, playing characters who face early 20th century pandemics, drought and the Great Depression.
What is 1923 about? The show was originally titled 1932, however, the streamer later announced that it had been changed to 1923. The backshift in the timeline appears to be designed to allow the show to address the fallout from World War I, as well as the early era of the Great Depression.
If you want to watch the Yellowstone universe timeline in chronological order, the correct viewing order is to start with 1883, followed by 1923, and lastly Yellowstone. What is this? By watching in this order, you will start with the founding of Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and finish with the present day.
"The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale."
The 1923 patriarch of the Dutton's and owner of the ranch, Jacob is the brother of 1883's James Dutton. Jacob took over the Yellowstone Dutton ranch after James and his wife, Margaret died, taking in the couple's two surviving children as well.
When additional episodes of 1883 were announced, many speculated that would amount to a second season of the 19th century western drama. That's not quite true. Season 2 of 1883 is actually 1932, the other Yellowstone origin story announced two weeks ago.
1923 is an American Western drama television series that premiered on December 18, 2022, on Paramount+. The series is a prequel to the Paramount Network series Yellowstone and serves as a sequel to the series 1883, with Isabel May reprising her role from the latter as narrator Elsa Dutton.
1883 stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as James and Margaret Dutton and follows their family as they expand West with the help of Sam Elliott's Shea Brennan. Sadly, 1883 will not be returning. The new series, 1923 (formerly called 1932), will jump a few decades into the future.
Yellowstone Prequel 1923 Premise
The spin-off, which was originally titled 1932 before producers changed the year in which it's set, takes place during the Prohibition era following World War I, with Montana experiencing an economic collapse ahead of the Great Depression.
While she won't get the chance to work alongside Mirren on 1932 (working title), Reilly takes solace in that Mirren was the first professional actor she ever worked with. Reilly tells ET she was 16 years old when she appeared on the U.K. drama series Prime Suspect.
The Yellowstone prequel previously titled 1932, now 1923, follows the Dutton family through another expansion period in U.S. history—the early 1920s and beyond.
The answer is no. However, while the Duttons aren't based on a specific family, Horsey Hooves reported that the family's patriarch, John Dutton, could be inspired by famous rangers like W.T. Waggoner and Bill Galt.
It was just Beth and Rip, finally tying the knot after years of sharing their love for one another amidst the beautiful scenery of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. There is no doubt that the relationship between Rip and Beth gave Yellowstone much more depth.
Elsa Dutton - John's great aunt
Elsa is the sister of John Dutton Senior, but her relationship with Costner's character is more complicated. As John Dutton Junior came into the mix, Elsa is Costner's character's great aunt.
Elsa, in 1883, is played by American actress Isabel May. After she was shot by a poisoned arrow, Elsa succumbed and died from her wounds. Taylor Sheridan's 1883 is an American Western drama television miniseries that premiered on Paramount+ on December 19, 2021.
How can I watch and stream 1932? Unlike Yellowstone, you won't be able to watch 1932 on Paramount Network. Once released, you'll be able to stream it exclusively on Paramount+. Subscription plans start at $4.99 a month, but you can test it out with a seven-day free trial.
Spencer Dutton
The second son of James and Margaret Dutton, Spencer was born some time after the family settled in Montana. Spencer also served in WWI and, like his father, remained haunted by his experiences on the battlefield.
Spencer Dutton is the younger son of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill) from the 1883 series. He is also the younger brother of John Dutton Sr (James Badge Dale). As James Dutton from 1883 was John Dutton's great-grandfather, this makes Spencer one of John's grandfathers.
In May 2023, Paramount announced that season 5 will be Yellowstone's final season. However, a sequel series is slated to air in December 2023.
