The 'Yellowstone' Team Is Throwing It Back to '1944'
The Yellowstone universe is about to expand once again, as creator Taylor Sheridan is currently prepping three more projects. First up: Season 2 of 1923 is nearly halfway through the Dutton family saga of the Roaring Twenties. Then, the end of Yellowstone will likely transition into a sequel spin-off starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, while Michelle Pfeiffer will lead a new title in the Yellowstone-verse titled The Madison.That's already a lot! But Yellowstone fans will also get 1944—the next decade-spanning tale of the Dutton family's past.
Though 40 years pass between the events of 1883 and 1923, the next spin-off in development will only jump 21 years into the future. No one from the cast of 1883 returned for 1923, but it's actually possible that some of 1923's stars may carry over into another series. Nothing has been announced so far regarding a potential cast, but it appeared at the end of 1923's first season that Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) and Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) were the future of the Dutton family. Of course, this could all change depending on who makes it out of 1923's second season alive. In addition to 1944 recent premiere of Lawmen: Bass Reeves, we'll also have more 1923 on the way as well.
What Will Happen In 1944?
Though nothing has been announced just yet, a pretty big war happens in the 1940s. (Obviously.) Spencer Dutton fought in the first World War before the events of 1923, meaning that it's entirely possible that he's drafted to fight in World War II as well. D-Day also occurs in June 1944, marking a major turning point for the end of the war. 1944 may also stay in America, focusing on the family's ranching history during a time where most able-bodied men served overseas.
When Will 1944 Premiere?
Yellowstone is currently preoccupied with 1923 season 2. The series will run until the finale on April 13, 2025. Paramount previously announced that the season 2 finale will wrap up the story for its 1923 characters, but you never know with Yellowstone. Likewise, the newly announced 1944 and The Madison spinoffs have yet to see a release date. Neither has the spinoff with Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. It's even possible that the fan-favorite 6666 Ranch spin-off has been shelved entirely. But there's no need to head to the train station, Dutton fans. It sounds like there's a massive amount of Yellowstone action heading our way.
