"You attack my family, it's gonna be the last thing you ever do." As Yellowstone fans know, those could very easily be the words of Kevin Costner's John Dutton. But this time, they're from one of John's ancestors.
Specifically, it's Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) who utters those words in the official trailer for the upcoming Yellowstone prequel series 1923. Following the events of the first prequel series, 1883, 1923 takes place during a time of pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression. The Western, which comes from the mind of Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan as the flagship series' universe continues to expand, stars Ford as the Dutton family patriarch and Helen Mirren, who plays an Irish immigrant, and his wife, Cara Dutton.
In the trailer, viewers get a glimpse at what the Yellowstone Ranch was like years before John Dutton was even born. And it doesn't look all that different. Neighbors are threatening range wars, people are willing to do whatever it takes to get land, and the Duttons are at the center of it all. As Cara Dutton warns in the trailer, "Greed will be the thing that k*lls us all."
But, unlike John's situation in Yellowstone, Jacob clearly isn't f*ghting any of these battles alone. The trailer shows Cara as a woman who clearly isn't going to back down from a f*ght. Rather, it seems like she might be the one you most want to avoid pissing off. "Men k*ll quick with a bullet or a noose, but their f*ght is with me and I k*ll much slower," she says.
You can watch the trailer, which also features a glimpse of the Rainwater family, below. The Yellowstone origin story also stars Darren Mann (Animal Kingdom), Michelle Randolph (A Snow White Christmas), James Badge Dale (Hightown), Marley Shelton (Scream), Brian Geraghty (Big Sky), Aminah Nieves (Blueberry), Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones), Julia Schlaepfer (The Politician), Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty), Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day), and Sebastian Roché (The Originals).
Yellowstone had so much potential but then it became clear that the writing team was just trying to come up with a big explosive thing to happen every week
That makes Ford's character Jacob the uncle (or great uncle) of Costner's John Dutton from present day Yellowstone.
So where's McGraw's family?
I think I got the code cracked..
Yes, Jacob(Ford) is James( Mcgraw) brother. Mcgraw has 2 sons, John(little boy in 1883) and Spencer( not shown on (1883)
He came to yellowstone after Mcgraws wife wrote him for help.......BUT he got there after too long and found her frozen to death and John & Spencer starving.
In 1923.....Grown up John, is low key in this first episode- he's at the bar with Jacob......then is there at the ranch when Ford talks to Jack about his marriage. Spencer( John's younger bro) is in Africa.
Jack is John's son. .........so any descendants on Yellowstone come from HIM........OR if Specer has kids.
Yellowstone John Dutton( Costner) is still about 30 years from being born on 1923 show
