The show picks up with the Dutton Ranch in crisis mode, with Jacob recovering from his near-fatal injuries in Season 1 and Cara taking on an even greater role to protect their legacy. Meanwhile, Spencer’s (Sklenar) journey promises high-stakes drama as he races to save his family, while Alexandra (Schlaepfer) takes on her own daring trans-Atlantic trek to reunite with him.

The series has also been hugely popular with critics and is actually the highest-rated show from Sheridan’s ridiculously vast cabal of series at this point, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 90% and a “Certified Fresh” seal. The site’s “Critics Consensus” sums it up:

“Distinguished by the ineffable star power of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, 1923 is another solid if unrelentingly grim addition to Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe.”

Are We Getting More ‘Yellowstone’?

Yes, and also no. This is the final season of 1923, as the story is set to be completed by the end of the season, while the mainline Yellowstone series concluded in somewhat contentious fashion last month. Another spin-off, which serves as a pseudo-sequel, The Madison, is in pre-production currently and will star Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams, and more in a story set following the end of Yellowstone, while the two remaining stars of that series, Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly have closed deals to reprise their roles in a Yellowstone sequel series, which will take their characters to their own ranch, their own lives and, let’s be honest, their own problems.
