Paramount+ renews Yellowstone spinoff 1923 for season 2

1923 was created by Taylor Sheridan, who also created Yellowstone and 1883. The show is set several decades after the events of 1883, which is another Yellowstone prequel, albeit a short-lived one.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ford and Mirren, who starred opposite each other in the 1986 drama titled The Mosquito Coast, revealed that each other's presence was a major factor in accepting their respective roles in the series. Mirren further stated, "I think we're both a bit more achey. We loved working together then, but we were very different."

Ford echoed the same sentiment, saying that the show's director explained the project to him and he found the ambition attractive. In his words, "He's produced a work of incredible ambition, scale, scope [and] cinematic ambition. Taylor thinks of each of these episodes as a one-hour movie. And that's the product that we're getting."

Before the renewal, Ford had expressed his interest in reprising his role as the Dutton family patriarch. The iconic actor stated that he had been satisfied and challenged by the work he had to do in the series. He admitted his hope for another of the series so he can further explore his character and get to know him.

1923 went on a brief hiatus after the first four episodes aired between December 18, 2022, and January 8. The show's hiatus ended on February 5 when the second part started airing. Given that the first season is still airing, there's no telling when the second season of the highly beloved show will debut.
