Paramount Network viewers who haven’t gotten the chance to see the Yellowstone prequel 1923 yet will have the chance to do so this December. The network announced on Friday, November 8 that 1923 Season 1, which stars Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and more, will air in full starting in December and through January 2025.
1923 was renewed halfway through its first season on Paramount+ after premiering in December 2022. The period drama was one of the many series delayed by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, and there have been few updates on the show’s production since the strikes ended. But the November 8 announcement confirms that 1923 is still filming its second season, which is said to be its last.
Local news outlets reported that filming on 1923 Season 2 has begun in Texas as of mid-July. Here’s all the latest updates on Taylor Sheridan‘s third Dutton family drama series, including the Season 1 Paramount Network schedule.
What time does 1923 air on Paramount Network?
1923 Season 1 will have its network TV debut on Sunday, December 8 right after a new episode of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 (the flagship series returns this Sunday, November 10). The makes its air time Sundays at 9/8c. The series shared a behind-the-scenes photo from set (see above) that shows a slate on concrete. The slate says they were filming the first take of Season 2 Episode 4. Additionally, a teaser for Season 1’s network premiere can be seen above.

Is 1923 Season 2 currently filming?
According to the Austin Film Commission, 1923 is currently filming its second season in Austin, Texas as of July 17. According to LMTOnline, a Texas local news outlet, filming will reportedly take place until September. A Dallas-based casting agency held a casting call for 1923 extras in Austin in June, per My San Antonio.
Season 1 was filmed in Montana, like the other shows in the Yellowstone franchise, but it seems production has found a new filming home in Austin’s ATX Film Studios. Fear the Walking Dead Seasons 4-7, The Leftovers, and more shows have filmed at this studio in the past. Season 2 will presumably still be set in Montana despite production taking place in Austin. After all, the series is all about the Dutton family keeping their Montana ranch up and running.
Who is in the 1923 Season 2 cast?
1923 stars Ford and Mirren as Jacob and Cara Dutton. Jacob is the brother of Tim McGraw‘s James Dutton from 1883, the first Yellowstone spinoff. Jacob and Cara took in their nephews, Spencer and John, after their mother, Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill in 1883), died. The adult Spencer and John are played by Brandon Sklenar and James Badge Dale in 1923 Season 1, but Dale’s character had a shocking death in the third episode that reverberated throughout the rest of the season.
Sklenar is expected to return for Season 2 along with Ford and Mirren. Sklenar’s Spencer was last seen separated from his new wife, Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), after a conflict with Alex’s ex-fiancé on an ocean liner turned deadly. Alex promised she’d meet Spencer in Montana, but viewers still don’t know if he heard her yell from the ship as he was taken to shore.
While there has been no official casting announcement for Season 2, Aminah Nieves will presumably return as Teonna Rainwater, who was last seen saved by her father, Runs His Horse (Michael Spears). They were riding off with Pete Plenty Clouds in the finale, unknowingly being chased by law enforcement after Teonna escaped from the abusive leaders of her nearby residential school. Pete was played by Cole Brings Plenty in Season 1. The actor tragically died in April 2024 at the age of 27. It’s not known if his character will be recast or written out. Brings Plenty’s uncle, Mo Brings Plenty, is one of the stars of Yellowstone.
1923 also stars Jerome Flynn, Darren Mann, Brian Geraghty, Michelle Randolph, and Timothy Dalton. Since all of their characters were still alive at the end of Season 1, they will presumably be back in the new season. Marley Shelton‘s Emma Dutton died by suicide in Season 1 following the unexpected death of her husband, John.
Augustus Prew (Players, Nolly) is joining the cast for Season 2 in a recurring role, per Deadline. He will play Paul, described as “a dapper, bookish, well-to-do young British man on a passenger ship.” Could that be Spencer or Alex’s ship back to the U.S.?
Where did 1923 Season 2 leave off?
Spencer and Alex will be trying to get back to each other in Season 2. They were separated on their travel back to Montana, a journey they began after receiving the word from Aunt Cara about John’s death. The ranch needs Spencer now more than ever considering the fact that Dalton’s Donald Whitfield is threatening to steal the ranch from Jacob and Cara through nefariously legal means.
Is 1923 Season 2 the final season?
The prequel has always been billed as a limited series, but it wasn’t known until halfway through Season 1’s release if there would be a Part 2. That confirmation came in February 2023, raising new questions about whether it would be the show’s final season. Sklenar confirmed that 1923 Season 2 is its last in May 2023.
“No, no, it’s bookend. It’s still limited, but I think of it as one piece — there’s just a split in the middle, but it’s all one piece. It will conclude,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
When does 1923 Season 2 come out?
There is no premiere date for Season 2 as of the time of publication. But if filming does wrap in September, post-production will take a few months after that. It’s likely that Season 2 will premiere in 2025.
Is there a 1923 Season 2 trailer?
There is no trailer for the new season just yet, but a teaser could be possible in the coming months as the series is officially back in production. Stay tuned here as we continue to report the lates updates on 1923 Season 2.
