1923 season 2 gets a production update, returning to its Montana location
after a setback. The popular Yellowstone prequel,
led by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in their respective roles as Jacob and Cara Dutton,
began filming on the strike-delayed 1923 season 2 in July. The news comes after the Paramount+ drama has revealed new casting details, along with new story
details that point to the show taking a potentially darker turn.
NBC Montana confirms that the upcoming episodes of 1923 season 2 will film some scenes in Butte, Montana. The report notes that even though most of the filming so far has taken place in Austin, Texas, production will be moving up to Montana next month. It is expected that filming will last for about a month, taking place at a ranch, the Civic Center, and a couple of places in Uptown Butte. This is expected to start somewhere between the middle to late October.
At a cost that was predicted to be somewhere between $30 to $35 million per episode, 1923 season 1 filmed several scenes in Butte since it was viewed as a stand-in for Montana. Although the production had a global flair, with scenes shot in Malta, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, the return to Butte ensures some level of filming continuity when the show returns.
