The Harrison Ford-led Yellowstone spin-off, 1923, is confirmed to return with an incoming Season 2;
however, when it actually will be released is a bit more complicated.Centering on another generation of Kevin
Costner’s now-iconic TV Dutton family, Ford and co-star Helen Mirren lead the
streaming western as they endure the hardships of the 1920s in America. Season 2 was announced for Paramount+ back in February 2023. Plans for the series’ sophomore effort were ultimately delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes that largely shut down Hollywood for much of last year.
Amid Season 1’s run from December 2022 to late February 2023, the Season 2 renewal came down from Paramount promising fans that the show would return at some point (via Variety).
In May 2024, TVLine wrote they had heard production for the series was set to start later this year; however, a specific window was not mentioned.
This is in line with reporting from Austin Business Journal, which said that the show should get back in front of cameras soon, with filming happening in Austin, Texas.
Seeing as fans seem to at least know around when filming on Season 2 started, a potential release window can start to be speculated upon.
Using 1923 Season 1 as a comparison, the series’ first batch of episodes kicked off production in August 2022, before debuting on Paramount+ four months later in December of the same year.
If Season 2 were to follow a similar sort of production pipeline, then a release date sometime before the end of 2024 is possible (likely coming sometime between October and December).
However, it seems perhaps more likely that the streamer will push the series into early or Spring 2025 to kick-off the new year on a strong note.
