1923 is the newest addition to the ever-growing Yellowstone universe. The prequel series follows the Dutton family as they struggle to keep the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch running during the challenges of the early 20th century.

After heading back to the ranch from Bozeman, his family and the Duttons are ambushed by Banner Creighton’s men. The sheepherders are seeking revenge after the Duttons hung some of their men for trespassing on their property.
