In 1923, the show synopsis as we follow the Duttons once more in the 20th century as they face a new set of challenges. So, who are the cast in the TV show 1923?
With every expansion the Yellowstone universe takes, we get a glimpse into the generations of Duttons that came before John.
In 1883, we saw the Duttons travel from Tennessee, fleeing poverty and embarking towards Montana for a better life.
Just as with the other prequels and sequels, we can expect to see Dutton women take charge and lead, and the Dutton men face off with anyone threatening their way of life and livelihood.
Whether that be drought, the start of prohibition, or the Great Depression, one thing remains certain. The Duttons will come out on top. However, crossing them will most certainly have a piece of different luck.
The Cast In The Show?
If there’s one thing that Taylor Sheridan and the Yellowstone universe know how to do is give us an incredible cast lineup who deliver unmatched talent to our screens.
Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, and Cole Hauser graced our screens from the original masterpiece. Tim Mcgraw, Sam Elliot, and Isabela May are doing justice to 1883.
The newest show, 1923, is expected to have some big names attached to the project.

Jacob (Ford) becomes the patriarch of the Dutton Ranch and takes on the interests of the ranch as his own. He plays a massive part in the handling of Yellowstone.
