Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, and Julia Schlaepfer have all joined the cast of Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Yellowstone prequel series 1923.
They join previously announced Harrison Ford and Hellen Mirren. Ford will play Jacob Dutton, the head of the Yellowstone ranch and brother of James Dutton. Mirren will portray Cara Dutton, the wife to Jacob.
The show will focus on the Dutton family’s “next two generations as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft; all battled beneath the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the nation by almost a decade. The show will also touch on the end of World War I, which occurred in 1918.”
As for who the other cast members will play, Mann will take on the role of Jack Dutton, John Dutton Sr.’s son and great nephew to Jacob Dutton. He is described as “a dedicated rancher who is deeply loyal to his family.”
Randolph will play Elizabeth Strafford, a “feisty and capable young woman set to marry into the Dutton family.” Dale (“Hightown”) will play John Dutton Sr., the oldest nephew and right-hand man of Jacob Dutton.
Shelton will play Emma Dutton, the dutiful wife of John Dutton Sr. and the mother of Jack Dutton. Geraghty will play Zane, a “fiercely loyal” ranch foreman. Nieves will play Teonna Rainwater, a young woman at a government residential boarding school. Schlaepfer will play Alexandra, a British woman who meets one of the Duttons abroad.
Production on the series is already underway in Montana, and this is a series project that I’ve very much looking forward to seeing! I have no doubt it’s going to be great!
