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.
