“Men kill quick with a bullet or a noose. But your fight is with me…and I kill much slower,” warns Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) in the official trailer for the Yellowstone prequel, 1923. The trailer confirms the Duttons have been fighting against outsiders wanting to take their land since the early days of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. It also shows that the Dutton patriarch has always put his family first.
“You attack my family, it’s gonna be the last thing you ever do,” snarls Jacob (Harrison Ford).
In addition to Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Oscar nominee Harrison Ford, the new drama series stars Darren Mann (Animal Kingdom), Michelle Randolph (A Snow White Christmas), James Badge Dale (Hightown), and Marley Shelton (Scream). Additional cast members include Brian Geraghty (Big Sky), Aminah Nieves (Blueberry), and Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones).
The second Yellowstone origin story was created by Taylor Sheridan. Sheridan executive produces along with John Linson, Art Linson, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, and Ben Richardson.
1923 will premiere on Paramount+ on Sunday, December 18, 2022.
