With the Yellowstone prequel series 1923 at the end of its second season with no news yet on a third, attention turns to the next series 1944, and while their characters will likely be around 100 years old by the time of that particular show, Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren have both said they are very open to returning in flashback scenes, should that be required.
1944 is the next chronological prequel in the Yellowstone-verse, though Paramount hasn’t officially said if 1923 is indeed ending with the season two finale. The time jump means a 20-year-old John Dutton II could be the focus of 1944, and Sklenar has expressed interest in returning to play Spencer, now a father and running the family ranch, in that prequel show. Ford and Mirren’s characters, who would be nearing 100 years old in 1944, say they would be open to returning in flashbacks or some other capacity in the Yellowstone universe. “I’m still alive,” Ford joked of Jacob Dutton, and said he would be interested in coming back if Sheridan “asks nice.” But, he added, “I have no idea what his plans are.”
Ford appears to be busier than ever at this stage of his career, and long may that continue.
