There seems to be no stopping Taylor Sheridan. The multi-hyphenate writer, director, producer and actor created Paramount’s breakout hit Yellowstone in 2018 and he hasn’t slowed down since. The darling of Paramount, Sheridan recently extended his multi-year deal with Paramount through 2028 and now has nine (yes, nine!) series on the air or in the works!
Sheridan has not disappointed Paramount or Paramount+. Two of the shows he created for the old-school network’s huge splash into the original streaming content arena, Mayor of Kingstown and Yellowstone prequel series 1883, are bonafide hits for the streamer that have been renewed and extended, respectively.
Paramount+ has also picked up a new Yellowstone prequel series called 1932. Here’s everything we know about the new series.
What Is the Yellowstone prequel 1932 about?
The Yellowstone prequel 1932 follows the Dutton family through another expansion period in U.S. history—the early 1930s and beyond. In the new series, we’ll see the Duttons navigate their way through the Great Depression and the Prohibition era in the United States.The 1910s had Downton Abbey, the 1920s had Boardwalk Empire and the 1930s will have 1932.
Who’s in the 1932 cast?
The show is still in development so no cast has been announced yet. As far as characters in the series, we’ll see John Dutton Sr. (currently played by Audie Rick in 1883) in the series.We imagine Taylor Sheridan will guest star at some point. He guest starred on Yellowstone as horse trader Travis Wheatley and on 1883 as cattle rancher Charlie Goodnight. Goodnight is a based on the real Charles Goodnight who was known as “The Father of the Texas Panhandle.”
We can probably also expect to see actor James Jordan appear in some capacity on the show. Jordan has appeared in several of Sheridan’s project including Yellowstone (as livestock agent Steve Hendon), 1883 (as Cookie), and Mayor of Kingstown (as prison guard Ed Simmons).
Considering the star power on Sheridan’s other series, we can’t wait to see who he ropes into his newest show. Check back here for updates!
