The Stars This Season
As always, the cast is bejeweled with big names leading the way, with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren playing the roles of James Dutton and his wife, Cara. The duo is famous for the 1986 starrer, The Mosquito Coast. Mirren told Variety. “I learned much from him because I hadn’t done much. I had done a lot of theatre by then but I hadn’t done a lot of movies. So I watched Harrison, and he taught me a great deal about film acting”
Harrison Ford echoed her feelings and was quoted voicing his admiration for Helen Mirren saying “I admired her work and her person then, and I hold the same degree of admiration for her. She’s just a lovely person, so it’s been both a professional pleasure and a personal pleasure to work with her again.”
Of course, there will be more new Dutton family members in addition to Mirren and Ford. James Badge Dale, who plays the character of John Dutton Sr., Marley Shelton, who will play Emma Dutton, Darren Mann and Brandon Sklenar, who will play Spencer Dutton, John’s brother are also included in the cast list.
It’s unclear at this time whether John Dutton Jr., who later becomes the father of Yellowstone’s patriarch, John, would participate in the show because there has yet to be any potential appearances by him.
The cast has also included Michelle Randolph, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Sebastian Roche, Robert Patrick, and Julia Schlaepfer. Jerome Flynn, best known for his work in Game of Thrones, plays the antagonist.

Paramount officially announced the first episode of the season to premiere on 18th December 2022.
Storyline
The series was titled 1932 initially, but Paramount+ later revealed that the streaming platform had changed the show’s original title to 1923. The show’s decision to move the timeline backward appears was possibly done to examine the effects of World War I and the early years of what was known as the Great Depression.
A synopsis was released in May 2022 by Paramount+ and it stated that 1923 will introduce a plot line that “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.”
Aside from these details, news regarding the storyline has been scarce, and its all-mere speculation on the internet. However, we know that with Taylor Sheridan as its creator and MTV studios producing the show, it’s bound to be exciting and full of mystery, and it will invoke our emotions in more ways than one, so keep your tissues ready, you guys.
Will It Only Have One Season?
