Yellowstone Prequel Starring Harrison Ford Gets Premiere Date

1923 has a premiere date.

The Yellowstone prequel, helmed by Taylor Sheridan, will debut in December. Starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, the series will explore the colorful past of the Duttons, when "pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home."

In addition to Ford and Mirren, the spin-off will star Brandon Sklenar (The Offer), Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, and Jerome Flynn. 

This marks yet another spinoff in the Yellowstone canon, after 1883, which aired last December, and 6666, which does not have a release date yet. Yellowstone, meanwhile, is set to debut its fifth season on Paramount Network November 13. Season 5 will see John Dutton (Kevin Costner) step into the role of governor while the drama in his family continues to ramp up. 

1923 premieres on Paramount Network December 18.
