‘1923’ Lands Season 2 Renewal at Paramount+

Paramount+ isn’t ready to say goodbye to the Duttons just yet.

The streamer has been updated Yellowstone precursor 1923 for a second season following the drama’s record-breaking first season.

Taylor Sheridan’s series follows a new generation of Duttons, led by Harrison Ford’s Jacob and Helen Mirren’s Cara. The latest installment in the family’s origin story takes place in the early 20th century “when pandemics, historic droughts and the end of Prohibition ravage the mountain to the west, and the Duttons who call it home,” according to Paramount+.

Beyond the 1923 premiering on Dec. 18, the Oscar-nominated stars opened up for The Hollywood Reporter about what drew them to the project, and they both had the same answer: each other.

‘He says me. And I say exactly the same: Harrison,” says Mirren when asked about a reunion with her Mosquito coast co-starred more than 30 years later, this time on the small screen. “I think we’re both in a little more pain. We liked working together then, but we were very different. He was a big movie star and I was relatively unknown. There was a big difference in our status,” adding, “Fortunately I caught up a bit.”

Ford echoed Mirren’s sentiment, explaining that he was also “drawn to the ambition of the piece”.

“I had met with Taylor, who gave me a very brief outline of what he had in mind, and I went on faith and my experience with Yellowstone, 1883,” the Indiana Jones says star. “He has produced a work of incredible ambition, scale and scope [and] cinematic ambition. Taylor considers each of these episodes to be an hour-long movie. And that is the product we get.”

Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Jerome Flynn and Julia Schlaepfer round out the show’s cast.

Season one of 1923 aired the mid-season finale on January 8 and will return to Paramount+ on February 5.
