1923 teaser: First look at Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford in Yellowstone prequel

During the Yellowstone season 5 premiere, Paramount+ revealed the first teaser trailer for 1923. Acting as a prequel and origin story to Yellowstone, the new series stars Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford and follows a new generation of the Dutton family.

Mirren and Ford star as Cara and Jacob Dutton as they navigate prohibition and hardship during the 1920s. The footage teases guns, violence, and outlaws in a time of expansion. According to the official synopsis, the Dutton family will “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.”

Created by Taylor Sheridan, the series co-stars Darren Mann, James Badge Dale, Michelle Randolph, Sebastian Roché, Brian Geraghty, Marley Shelton, Aminah Nieves, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Ehle, Jerome Flynn, and Timothy Dalton.

This is the third show from Sheridan in the Yellowstone franchiseYellowstone, Paramount Network’s trademark show, stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the Dutton family patriarch and now-governor of Montana, and is set in the modern day. The first spinoff to Yellowstone was 1883, which stars Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill, and follows how the Dutton family founded the Yellowstone Ranch. Another Yellowstone spinoff from Sheridan, 6666, will premiere sometime in 2023.

Yellowstone, which returned for its fifth season last night, continues to be a huge hit with audiences as the season 4 finale drew 9.3 million viewers on Paramount Network, the most for a cable telecast since The Walking Dead season 8 premiere registered 11.4 million viewers in 2017. 1923 will run for two eight-episode seasons.

The best movies on Amazon Prime Video (May 2024)
Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.

Amazon Prime Video is starting off strong in May with several new additions to its library of movies, including the premiere of the original romantic drama The Idea of You. Last year's underrated Christmas drama The Holdovers is also now streaming on Prime Video. And as far as we're concerned, a good drama is never out of season.

Prime Video lost a handful of movies at the end of April, and Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza is only sticking around through the end of the weekend. But everything else on our list of the best movies on Amazon Prime Video right now is still available. Just keep reading, and you can make plans to watch any of the films that you want to see this month.

The 50 best movies on Netflix right now (May 2024)
Jenna Ortega in Miller's Girl.

It should come as no surprise that this year's hit rom-com Anyone But You has a stranglehold on the top slot of the list of the most popular movies on Netflix. But it is somewhat surprising to see Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver completely disappear from the list. That's going to make Rebel Moon – Part Three very unlikely to happen, and it may even discourage Netflix from committing extremely high budgets to its original sci-fi movies.

More tellingly, two of this week's new additions are modestly budget dramas: Miller's Girl and The Judge. The former features Wednesday's Jenna Ortega, while the latter has great lead performances by Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duvall. So it's not a mystery as to why both of those films are two of the top performers of the week.
