As fans will remember, John Dutton was played by child actor Audie Rick in 1883 so he will be in his mid-fifties in the new series and, as we know from Yellowstone, has taken over the running of the ranch from his father. However, no casting news for his character has been announced yet.
1923 is set to be released in December 2022
1923 focuses on the next two generations of Duttons 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 series is set to be released in December 2022, and there is a chance that viewers will get a first glimpse of the new show on the main series Yellowstone. According to The Wall Street Journal, during the upcoming fifth season of Yellowstone, several of Taylor Sheridan's new shows will be launched - and we have a strong feeling that 1923 is going to be one of them.
As fans will recall, prior to the premiere of 1883, viewers were introduced to the first-ever Duttons, played by Faith Hill and her husband Tim McGraw, through an elongated flashback sequence in the opening episode of season four. We think we can probably expect the same from 1923 ahead of its debut on the streaming service. We can't wait!
