1923 Returns: Harrison Ford Leads Yellowstone Prequel's Final Season

As Yellowstone concludes its remarkable journey with the December 15, 2024 episode "Life Is a Promise," fans of the neo-western saga can look forward to more compelling stories from the Dutton family legacy. Paramount+ has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated second and final season of 1923, promising an intense continuation of the Dutton family's struggle for survival.

A Winter of Challenges Awaits

The second season of 1923 thrusts viewers into the heart of a brutal Montana winter, where the Dutton family faces their most formidable challenges yet.
