‘1923’ Adds Robert Patrick to Cast of ‘Yellowstone’ Sequel at Paramount+

“1923” follows “1883,” the most-watched Paramount+ title ever globally, according to Paramount. That prequel starred Sam Elliott, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Isabel May and LaMonica Garrett. While there was some confusion about whether more episodes of “1883” would be ordered, the focus instead shifted to another prequel series (originally dubbed “1932”), with a spin-off of “1883,” this time centered around historical figure Bass Reeves (who might have been the inspiration for the Lone Ranger), also in the works.
Deadline first reported news of Patrick’s addition to the “1923” cast.
“’1923’ will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early 20th 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,” an official plot synopsis from Paramount reads.
The new show is set to debut on Paramount+ this December, joining a growing number of Sheridan projects that will debut this fall, including the mothership “Yellowstone” series (back on the Paramount Network on Nov. 13); “Tulsa King” starring Sylvester Stallone, which is outside of the “Yellowstone” universe (also Nov. 13, on Paramount+); and a number of non-“Yellowstone” projects which have yet to receive release dates, including “Lioness” (starring Zoe Saldaña), “Land Man” (starring Billy Bob Thornton) and the second season of “Mayor of Kingstown” (starring Jeremy Renner).
