1923 S2

In Season 2 of 1923, a cruel winter brings new challenges to Dutton Ranch. Donald Whitfield still has his eyes on the ranch, with designs on turning Montana into a playground for the elite. Jacob and Cara must buckle down and wait for Spencer to arrive and help them repel the latest attack. Meanwhile, Spencer’s new bride, Alexandra, sets off on her own harrowing trans-Atlantic journey to find him and reclaim their love.

The Yellowstone prequel stars Timothy Dalton (aka James Bond) as Donald, with Oscar nominee Harrison Ford and Oscar winner Helen Mirren as Jacob and Cara, and Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer as Spencer and Alexandra.

Mirren won a Critics Choice Super Award for Best Actress: Action and was nominated at last year’s Golden Globes, where 1923 was up for Best TV Series: Drama. Season 2 has just been nominated for Emmys for its costumes and production design.

Season 2 has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As IndieWire put it, “If only all recent movies were this thrillingly cinematic.”

In its first seven days, the S2 finale attracted over 14m viewers on Paramount+ – a series record.

Fun fact: S1 was partly shot in Cape Town.
