1923 Will Return for a 2nd Season

Yellowstone may be ending, but Taylor Sheridan’s Dutton universe continues to expand. What began with one show following the dramas of the modern-day Dutton family on their Montana ranch, now features multiple spin-offs, including a forthcoming second season of 1923, the Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford-fronted prequel series following an earlier generation of Duttons establishing their roots in the American west.

Ahead of the finale of season one earlier this year, Paramount+ confirmed that the show, which "explores the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, and the end of Prohibition all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home," will be coming back for another chapter.

However, it now appears that fans will have to wait a bit longer than originally planned for the second season.

According to NBC Montana, production on the new season—which was scheduled to start this month—has been delayed indefinitely by the ongoing writer's strike. Bill Melvin, who manages the Butte Civic Center which the production has rented out through the end of the year for filming, revealed the news in June, adding that the center is ready for use as soon as production is able to begin. Per the report, the series is paying Butte-Silver Bow $75,000 per month for use of the Civic Center through the end of the calendar year, and has already requested an extension on their contract.

Further complicating matters is a potential Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strike, which looms when their contracts with the Alliance Of Motion Picture And Television Producers expires on June 30. Earlier this month, the guild voted nearly 98% in favor of going on strike if negotiations fail, meaning that even if the writer's guild strike is resolved by then, 1923's actors might not be available .
