The first two trailers for 1923 season 2 have been released. The Yellowstone prequel series stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, with each

playing the stewards of the Yellowstone ranch. Brandon Sklenar also stars as Spencer, their nephew, who has been fighting to get back to

Montana since the show began. When the prequel debuted in December 2022, with franchise creator Taylor Sheridan at the helm, it was a

quick hit and received a speedy renewal. But new episodes have been delayed by the writers’ and actors’ strikes of 2023.

Paramount has now released the first two trailers for the highly-anticipated upcoming season via their Yellowstone channel on YouTube. Along with the quick trailers, which each clock in at around 15 seconds, it’s been confirmed that 1923 season 2 will be released on February 23 on Paramount+. They offer up a sense of danger, with Spencer in particular restating that he needs to return home.

What The Trailers Mean For 1923 Season 2
There’s A Sense Of Danger

What comes across most in the trailers is a sense of urgency in the aftermath of the 1923 season 1 ending, which saw the antagonistic Whitfield pay overdue property tax on the Dutton ranch. This puts the Duttons in a difficult position because the ranch will become Whitfield’s possession if the Duttons cannot pay him back sufficiently. The teaser previews that the situation must have escalated because Mirren’s Cara Dutton wields a weapon while Ford’s Jacob Dutton looks concerned.

This is to say nothing of Spencer, who is as ever in a rush to return home to his family in Montana and looks ready to get violent. Based on the synopsis revealed by Paramount, each of the central characters will be facing their own struggles. Cara and Jacob have what they feel is a responsibility to protect the ranch, while Alexandra is on her journey to reconnect with Spencer. The teasers only show a little bit of that, likely keeping bigger revelations closer to the much-anticipated release of 1923 season 2.

There’s More To Come

Hailing from Sheridan, the second installment is growing its ensemble with the additions of Janet Montgomery and Jennifer Carpenter. Each actor will have significant recurring roles. Carpenter plays Mamie Fossett, a highly capable U.S. Deputy Marshall who’s ahead of her time. Carpenter is best known for her role as Debra Morgan in Showtime’s Dexter franchise.

As for Montgomery, who is known for This Is Us and New Amsterdam, she’ll play a justice-minded woman named Hilary. They’re not the only newcomers, with Augustus Pew likewise recurring as a dapper British man. 1923 is going to expand the prequel. But for now, the focus is on the core characters like Jacob, Cara, Spencer, and Alexandra.
