Going down the list of players and ranch hands, we find James Badge Dale (The Empty Man, Spectral, The Pacific) playing John Dutton Sr., the oldest nephew and right-hand man of Jacob Dutton (Ford). Darren Mann (Giant Little Ones, Hello Destroyer) slips into the boots of Jack Dutton, John Dutton Sr.’s son and great-nephew to Jacob Dutton.

Reports indicate that 1923 will focus on building the Dutton family ranch in Montana. However, Sheridan plans to film in South Africa, Tanzania, and Malta, adding to the prequel’s multi-era reach and majesty. Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe is one of Paramount’s most successful projects, with fans eager to follow the Dutton family into any era for more drama.

Speaking of more drama, Sheridan is interested in turning 1923 into a two-season event. Negotiations are underway, with all major players looking to reprise their roles.
