It’s time once again for a Yellowstone history lesson on Paramount+. A brand new season for the flagship show’s prequel, 1923, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren is coming in February 2025, and we have all the info you need to know regarding its plot, cast, release date, and trailers.
“[1923] is a Yellowstone origin story that introduces a new generation of the Dutton family as they explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all place the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home,” according to a press release from Paramount+.
And now, that story will continue with 1923 Season 2.
The first season of 1923 ended with Ford’s Jacob Dutton and Mirren’s Cara Dutton protecting their ranch from a takeover by Timothy Dalton’s villain Donald Whitfield.
“In the second season of 1923, a cruel winter brings new challenges and unfinished business to Jacob and Cara back at Dutton ranch,” per Paramount+.
1923 Season 2 Release Date
The second season of the series will hit Paramount+ on February, 21. New episodes will drop on Sundays.
How Many Episodes Will 1923 Season 2 Have?
The second season continuation of the ’20s-era Dutton family will have eight episodes.
1923 Season 2 Trailers
The first full trailer hit in late January, and features a two-minute video showcasing Spencer Dutton’s (Brandon Sklenar) intense journey traveling from the wilds of Africa to the Italian coastline, where he battles with wild animals and his past. Mirren’s Cara Dutton can also be seen shooting at intruders on the family land and saying “Anything worth having is worth fighting for.”
Additionally, Two short teaser videos were released by Paramount+ in December 2024. One focuses on Spencer Dutton making his way back to his life in Montana; the other trailer digs into Jacob and Cara Dutton’s family getting ready to protect their land.

1923 Season 2 Plot
The new season’s plot looks to continue where the first left off. The end of Season 1 saw Timothy Dalton’s Donal Whitfield paying overdue property taxes on the Dutton ranch, with the land ending up in his possession if the family is not able to pay him back. The teasers and trailer show how far the Duttons are going to keep control of their land.
“I had no idea what I was going to do. I just went on a journey myself,” Series creator Taylor Sheridan told Deadline. He also said he looks at the eight new episodes as the second half of the first season. Essentially, 1923 Season 2 exists because Sheridan wanted more time to finish the story that began with Season 1.
