Yee-haw, Yellowstoners! It’s time for a new generation of Duttons to saddle up, and these are our most star-studded Duttons yet. Sure, we’ve had some big-name Duttons in Kevin Costner, Faith Hill, and Tim McGraw, but these Duttons have gravitas. The new trailer for 1923, which premieres December 18, 2022, offers our first look at Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the wild west, and the Yellowstone Cinematic Universe will never be the same.
“1923, the next installment of the Dutton family origin story, will introduce a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Ford) and matriarch Cara (Mirren),” reads a synopsis of the new series (per IndieWire). “The series will explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.”
One thing the new trailer has a lot of, besides Duttons, is accents. Behold (behear?) Ford’s growly cowboy vs. Timothy Dalton’s posh villain; excitable American flapper blonde vs. snobby-sounding British blonde. Then there’s Helen Mirren doing an Irish accent as Cara, who warns menacingly, “Men kill quick with a bullet or a noose. But your fight is with me, and I kill much slower.”
There’s a whole lot going on around the homestead, including a range war and possibly a regular war. The trailer also hints at America’s dark history of forced assimilation of Native American children at mission schools (and here’s a welcome glimpse of Michael Greyeyes, who will be missed on the gone-too-soon Peacock comedy Rutherford Falls).
Taylor Sheridan’s latest series also stars Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, and Jerome Flynn. The series will premiere on the Paramount Network in December, while the rest of the episodes will stream weekly on Paramount+ starting in January, according to IndieWire. The more Duttons, the merrier!

They got Ford in this presumably because he didn’t have to leave his ranch.Also, not that I’m an expert in editing, but this trailer felt really sluggish and shapeless.
Do you really think Ford would allow people into this property?
He tried to tell them to leave, but all his grunting sounds the same these days, so they thought he was giving them permission to shoot there. Actually getting them to leave would require him to care too much.
He’ll drop a fucking plane on your head for even thinking about it.
Indiana Jones vs Bond….
Harrison Ford doing TV?!
Did they resurrect and de-age Richard Harris? Damn.
ANOTHER Taylor Sheridan project? Count me out.
Harrison Ford has to be Tim McGraw’s character right. It’s only set 40 years after 1883. The son would be like 50 right? They’re not really trying to make Harrison Ford the son, are they?EDITED TO ADD: looked it up; Ford is the brother of McGraw’s character
Holy Fuck? the best Bond ever is in this too? I’m in.
