Yellowstone: 1944 is the latest chapter in Taylor Sheridanโs ever-growing Yellowstone universe, continuing the epic Dutton family saga following the acclaimed prequels 1883 and 1923. Set during the height of World War II, this series explores how global conflict reaches even the distant stretches of the American frontier, reshaping the lives of those who live closest to the land.
As the world teeters on chaos, young Dutton men are called to serve overseas, leaving behind a ranch and a legacy that hang in the balance. Those who remain must navigate the economic hardship, shifting political alliances, and growing pressures of modernization that threaten to unravel the traditions they hold dear.
Back on the home front, the Duttons face a different kind of warโone against greedy developers, government influence, and a society on the brink of transformation. The family must make heartbreaking decisions to protect what generations before them built. As always, their fiercest battles are not just physicalโbut deeply emotional.
While official casting has yet to be announced, the series promises the same rich blend of rugged Western storytelling, intense family dynamics, and historical authenticity that have made the franchise a cultural phenomenon. Fans can expect a powerful portrayal of both the harsh realities of wartime America and the unbreakable spirit of the Dutton clan.
Thematically, Yellowstone: 1944 will explore timeless ideasโresilience, loyalty, sacrifice, and survivalโset against the sweeping backdrop of a nation in flux. As with its predecessors, the land itself remains both a battleground and a symbol of legacy, pressing the Duttons to prove what theyโre made of.
๐พ A story of legacy under siege, Yellowstone: 1944 will serve as both a historical reflection and a dramatic continuation of the Dutton family saga.
๐ช Coming soon to Paramount+.
