Yellowstone prequel 1923 season two is on its way with fans to expect a big change following an update.
Starring Hollywood icons Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, 1923 follows in the footsteps of fellow spin-off 1883 which starred Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
In 1923, the focus is on the Dutton family in the late 19th century as they made their way from Texas to Montana, struggling to survive the drought, prohibition and cattle theft.
The first series on Paramount+ went down a storm with subscribers so it wasn’t too much of a surprise when it was renewed for a second season.
However, this new series is going to look different from the first after its creators gave an update on shooting the Western drama.
1923 season two is going to be swapping Montana for a new filming location in South Austin, Texas.

The show is going to be shot at ATX Film Studios, according to Austin Business Journal, even though the majority of season one took place in Bozeman Town, Butte, in Montana.
Other scenes were filmed in South Africa, throughout Europe and Tanzania but was predominantly in Montana so it will be a big change.
As of yet, it is unclear if other locations beyond Texas are going to be used for 1923’s second season.
Not everyone is happy with the change in direction that the show’s creators have chosen to go with though.
Speaking to the Montana Standard, chief executive of Butte-Silver Bow County JP Gallagher said: “The decision to film the Yellowstone series of 1923 in Texas is disappointing.

“Nevertheless, we respect the production team’s decision and acknowledge that these choices are influenced by factors beyond our control.
“We were in talks with the production about 1923 coming back to Butte because of the positive experience they had here, but state tax incentive programs were a major factor for the production to move to Texas.”

So far, details on the new series of 1923 have been few and far between and if the new location is going to impact the plot.
It is known that both Mirren and Ford will be reprising their roles as the show’s leads Cara and Jacob Dutton respectively.
Filming has not yet started for season two so it is unlikely 1923 will be back before the end of the year.
