Where to watch 1923, the Yellowstone prequel series with Harrison Ford

What’s the biggest show on television right now? The answer may surprise you. If you look at Twitter, you might think it’s The White Lotus or one of those dreadful Real Housewives reality shows. If you read Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, you may think it’s Wednesday or Dahmer. But how many new shows have spawned an entire fictional universe, with spinoffs more successful than the last?

For five seasons, Yellowstone has been an unexpected hit with audiences. Its first spinoff, 1883, with country singers Tim McGraw and Faith Hill was also a hit, and so the Yellowstone universe has further expanded with 1923, a new limited series starring Star Wars and Indiana Jones legend Harrison Ford and Academy Award winner Helen Mirren. The show is set for release in December 2022, but where can you watch it?

Is 1923 worth watching?

We’re sold on this show simply because of two reasons: Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. These two acting legends don’t do a lot of TV; in fact, this is Ford’s first leading role on television ever. To see them both living it up in the Prohibition-era west as Jacob and Cara Dutton is immensely appealing and promises to give them both ample opportunity to chew some scenery.

Also, co-creator and writer Taylor Sheridan is a great writer. Remember, prior to Yellowstone, he wrote two of the best thrillers in recent memory: Sicario and Hell or High Water. Even if you’re not a fan of the main Yellowstone series or its spinoff, 1883, you have to admit that the guy knows how to write a good story, and the combination of the leading actors and period setting makes 1923 one of the most anticipated shows of the year.
