The final series of 1923 explores how difficult it was for settlers to cling onto their property and their fortunes: In 1883, another Yellowstone prequel which premiered in 2021, audiences saw how the Dutton family journeyed from Tennessee across Texas to Montana to establish what would eventually become the Yellowstone Ranch, and now we witness how easily the family could lose everything.
We find Jacob and Cara Dutton, played by Indiana Jones and Star Wars star Harrison Ford and Mirren, respectively, at Dutton ranch during a cruel winter, where a combination of harsh conditions and threatening adversaries could spell the end of the family legacy.
On what drew her to the series, Dame Helen said: “Many years ago, I took a train when I was doing theatre in America – we were working in San Francisco, and our next job was in Detroit – and I decided, rather than flying to Detroit, which is how the rest of the theatre group were going, I would take a train.
Dame Helen Mirren has reflected on being cast as Cara Dutton in popular series 1923 - suggesting the role has taught her “so much about America.”.
The British star, 79, plays Dutton - the matriarch of the fictional Yellowstone Dutton Ranch during Prohibition - in Taylor Sheridan’s hit Western series 1923.
