Thank the rains that have fallen in Montana, because 1923 will return for a second season. Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren’s Yellowstone prequel recently made a triumphant midseason comeback with the promise that prodigal nephew Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) will soon return to care for his diminishing family.
After a horrible attack by enraged sheep herders that left John dead and pushed Emma to commit suicide, the Dutton family has already lost John Sr. (James Badge Dale) and his wife Emma (Marley Shelton). In addition to being engaged and his fiancée Liz (Michelle Randolph) being pregnant, their son Jack (Darren Mann) is also determined to exact revenge on his parents’ murderers. After being shot numerous times, the ranch patriarch Jacob (Ford) is hanging by a thread, and his wife Cara (Mirren) is doing her best to keep everything together while affluent developers encroach on the ranch. A fight for the ages is anticipated as Teonna (Aminah Nieves) escapes her cruel government boarding school and goes on the run. The question is whether the battle will take place in Season 1 or Season 2. Here is what we currently know about the upcoming episodes.
Latest 1923 News
Four episodes into Season 1, Paramount+ has already ordered a second season of 1923. Only the fact that 1883 did not receive a second season is surprising, as Taylor Sheridan had always intended for 1923 to have two seasons. That also makes sense for a programme that stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.

Eight episodes, or a total of 16, will make up each season of 1923. After the first four episodes, Season 1 takes a little break before picking back up with the second half.
When Will 1923 Season 2 Premiere?
On February 26, 1923’s first season finale will be available on Paramount+. Season 2’s debut date has not yet been set.
Will 1923 Season 2 Still Be in 1923?
While Season 1 is set in 1923, it is unknown at this time if Season 2 will be set in 1924. What we do know is that Season 1 has already lasted for a number of months, and that the remainder of the season will likely pass considerably more slowly as Spencer makes the protracted journey back to Montana.

Yellowstone Prequel 1923 Premise
The spin-off, initially titled 1932 before the creators changed the year in which it is set, takes place during the Prohibition era after World War I, with Montana facing an economic collapse before the Great Depression. This places the scenario roughly 35 or 40 years after the events of 1883 and 30 or 35 years before the birth of Kevin Costner’s character, John Dutton III.
“1923 focuses on the Dutton family’s next two generations as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and Prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft; all battled under the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the country by almost ten years,” according to the official show description.

The Dutton family’s trek across the plains to Montana was chronicled in 1883, along with the story of how they ended up settling there as opposed to their intended destination of Oregon. The teenage daughter of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret (Faith Hill), Elsa (Isabel May), was wounded by a Lakota arrow in the liver before James and Margaret could travel all the way to the Pacific Northwest. James brought her to a beautiful valley in Montana where she passed away; the valley later became the Dutton farm. James and Margaret passed away tragically at the start of 1923, and James’ brother Jacob and his wife Cara arrived to take care of the ranch and of their nephews John and Spencer. John has stayed on the property with plans to succeed Jacob while Spencer, a WWI veteran, has relocated to Africa to hunt large game.
