One of the manyprequel series to Taylor Sheridan’sYellowstone,1923is set in the titular year and stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford as the heads of the Dutton clan.

What The TV Ranking Means For 1923
That high of a ranking for1923is what Paramount+ executives were hoping for when the show first premiered. The series premiere on June 03, 2025, brought in 7.4 million viewers,which made it the platform’s most-watched premiere ever in the U.S.(viaDeadline). Its finale drew 14 million viewers (viaVariety).
Every Taylor Sheridan TV show has high expectations set for viewership, and people still don’t appear to be sick of the universe. The series only has two seasons, and that may partially be why the show is finding a second life of sorts a few months after1923’s finale on June 06, 2025.
It could be that with the constant deluge of Taylor Sheridan andYellowstone-related TV, people were waiting for the series to finish before they gave it a chance. Now that it’s clear it will only take 16 episodes to binge-watch, people are starting up Paramount+ to stream the series. It can also be purchased on Amazon and Apple TV.
Our Take On The 1923 PVOD Ranking
The Ranking Is Well Deserved
Yellowstoneran for five seasons, and it lost the series lead, Kevin Costner, before it could finish out.1883is a ten-episode miniseries that feels a little too far from theYellowstonestory to be a true precursor.1923, on the other hand, feels entwined withYellowstoneandis the most complete of these three.
If you’ve finishedYellowstone, but never gave any of the spinoffs a chance, the best place to start would probably be1923, soit makes sense that as both shows ended in the last few months, fans of one would be hopping to the other show. It’s an excellent series, after all, with fantastic performances from the ensemble cast.
The time period works well for Sheridan’s sensibilities, and the tight storytelling forces Sheridan to abandon some of his more long-winded storytelling crutches. Despite the high ranking in the PVOD and acclaim for the series, itdoesn’t seem like there will be a1923season 3anytime soon.
