Yellowstone 1994 Spin-off: Latest Updates & Everything We Know So Far

As someone who has been immersed in the world of streaming and television for the better part of my adult life, I must say that Yellowstone‘s expansion into multiple spin-offs is nothing short of intriguing. The franchise’s decision to explore different eras of the Dutton family, starting from 1883 all the way to 2024, is a bold move that promises to keep audiences hooked for years to come.


As Yellowstone nears its conclusion, creator Taylor Sheridan is actively expanding the series’ universe. The Dutton family will embark on a new narrative with their storyline now set during World War II, hinting at the development of a Yellowstone prequel spin-off titled “1944.”

1944, the fourth installment of the series, is anticipated to delve into a new chapter of the family’s story, focusing on a new generation living and working on their Montana ranch.

2023 saw Paramount officially confirming that a WWII prequel to Yellowstone, set in 1944, is in the works. However, it’s not the only project underway for this franchise. Intriguingly, they are also developing a contemporary spinoff of their popular neo-western drama, which will air in 2024.

In simpler terms during the 2023 announcement, Chris McCarthy, CEO of Showtime & MTV Entertainment Studios, stated that following the success of 1883 and 1923, they are planning new spinoffs titled 1944 and 2024. These upcoming series will offer an exciting, unforeseen voyage into a captivating and intricate storyline, a trait that has characterized the franchise, contributing to its global cultural impact. McCarthy also praised Taylor Sheridan’s creative direction, as reported.

Although, none of the other shows are scheduled to air before the final season of Yellowstone, which is due to premiere in early November this year.

1944, as its name implies, revolves around events reminiscent of the actual timeline, viewed from the perspective of the Dutton family and how these events shape their lives. Similar to its predecessors, 1883 and 1923, the spinoff may continue in a similar vein, potentially featuring characters from the 1923 spinoff appearing in 1944.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share some insights about the upcoming spinoff from the critically acclaimed series, 1923. This captivating storyline will primarily revolve around the descendants of our beloved characters, with them taking center stage in this new narrative.

For the upcoming Yellowstone series set in 1944, the official cast has not been disclosed yet, but anticipation is high for the reappearance of characters from the prequel series 1923, now portrayed as older versions. If the rumors are true, actors Brendan Sklenar and Julia Schaefer could reprise their roles as Spencer Dutton and Alexandra Dutton respectively, according to Dexerto’s reports.

In the future segments of the series, there’s a possibility that a younger character resembling Kevin Costner’s John Dutton might appear. This would be set if the storyline extends up to 15 years prior to John’s birth.

Some other potential cast members are as follows: 

  • Michelle Randolph as Elizabeth Strafford
  • Darren Mann as Jack Dutton
  • Aminah Nieves as Teonna Rainwater

1944, the WWII-era spinoff of the franchise, has yet to reveal its release date. The series is currently focusing on the conclusion of Yellowstone and also working on projects like 6666 and Yellowstone 2024. Consequently, it’s expected that 1944 won’t debut before 2026, according to Dexerto.

After the final episode of Yellowstone, it’s expected that a spinoff will air in 2024, as the creators aim to continue the storyline within the same year for greater continuity.

Yellowstone, 1923, and 1883 are available to stream on Paramount+.
