The official synopsis of the show, as per Paramount+, states:
''The next Yellowstone origin story 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.''
The show is a sequel to another show in the Yellowstone universe, titled 1883, which is set during the late 19th century, starring Sam Elliot, Tim Graw, and many others, in pivotal roles.
The upcoming series features the iconic Harrison Ford as the charismatic Jacob Dutton, along with the great Helen Mirren, who plays Jacob's wife, Cara. Starring alongside the two legends are actors Marley Shelton as Emma Dutton, Brian Geraghty as Zane, and Julia Schlaepfer as Alexandra, among various others.
