The 1923 series is a prequel to the Paramount Network series Yellowstone whilst also serving as a sequel to the series 1883.
Commencing mid December, 2022, on Paramount+, the eighth and final episode of season one aired this week. Last month, the series was renewed for a second set of eight episodes. Set to be the second and final season of the second Yellowstone prequel series.
Following a generation of the Duttons in 1923, during a time of various hardships including Prohibition, drought, and the early stages of the Great Depression, which affected Montana long before the 1929 Stock Market Crash.
SPOILERS ahead, read on if you DARE...
Of course the second prequel stars the big guns, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, along with a talented supporting cast.
In the final after the three priests do not return after a week, Father Renaud, Marshall Kent and his men follow the tracks left by Teonna during her escape. Runs His Horse and Pete Plenty Clouds find Teonna and take her with them, as they set off for the nearest Comanche reservation. Father Renaud and Marshall Kent find the bodies of the three priests, as well as Hank's and they set off towards the Comanche territory, but by train where they plan to be waiting for the trio.
At Creighton's arraignment, Whitfield's lawyer Chadwick Benton convinces the judge to release Creighton with no bail. Creighton can't help but goad the Duttons as he walks out of the courtroom; which culminates in Creighton smugly punching a restrained Jack. Zane receives permission from Jacob to return home for the night, where he meets his Asian wife, Alice and his two children where they make up for lost time together. However, the livestock agent that works for Creighton follows Zane home and reports to the authorities of Zane's miscegenation and mixed race children. Alice is arrested and Zane is beaten by police.
Meanwhile, Spencer and Alex board their liner en route to London. To Alex's annoyance, her former fiancé Arthur and his family also board the vessel. As Spencer and Alex dine in the main hall, Arthur, enraged that Alex left him, challenges Spencer to a duel on the ship's bow. Spencer comfortably defeats him, but when Arthur unexpectedly charges at Spencer while brandishing a pistol, Spencer throws him overboard. Being unaware of the full story, Spencer is arrested by captain's orders and Alex is remanded to her quarters. After Alex's friend Jennifer corroborates Spencer's story, the Captain decides Spencer acted in self-defense and Spencer is not charged. However, Arthur's father, a member of the British Royal Family, orders Spencer removed from the vessel at the nearest port of call. Arthur's father challenges the legitimacy of Spencer and Alex's marriage, and Alex is not allowed to leave with her husband. As Spencer is taken away in a dinghy, Alex declares she will find Spencer in Bozeman, Montana.
Back at the Dutton ranch, Elizabeth miscarries her child and Jack comforts her. Whitfield arrives at the Dutton ranch and announces that he has made payment in arrears on the ranch's property tax for them--however, if they cannot pay Whitfield back by the end of the year (it is November), the deed for the land will default into his possession.
1923 has been a huge hit for Paramount+, the second season will most likely air later this year, earlier the next. The eight episodes looked a million bucks! I have to say I much preferred this to 1883.
The series continues to be narrated by Isabel May, who in the 1883 series played Elsa, the daughter of James and Margaret Dutton.
Tomorrow I check out a crazy, true events film. Come back to see what I thought of a bear and some illegal substance. See you then!
