'1923' Season 1 Ending, Explained: How It Sets The Stage For '1944', 'The Madison' And 'Yellowstone'
The Dutton story stretches across generations and a lot of what happens in season one of 1923 directly connects to Taylor Sheridan's upcoming spinoffs 1944, The Madison, and of course, the acclaimed series, Yellowstone. 1923 sees the Dutton family's story defined by sacrifice, resilience and their unyielding determination to protect their land and legacy. From Spencer's exhausting journey back to Montana, to Teonna's harrowing life on the run and industrialists that threaten to dismantle the Yellowstone ranch, the storylines perfectly connect characters across time and also echo struggles that several generations of the Dutton family and Broken Rock Reservation natives have faced. Below, we piece how Sheridan has connected the ending of season one of 1923 to storylines and characters across generations. By the end of first season of 1923, Elizabeth suffers a miscarriage. Jack gently suggests that perhaps her destiny isn't to have children of her own, but to care for someone else's. This mirrors Beth Dutton's storyline in Yellowstone — where she is unable to have children due to a life-altering decision made by Jamie without her consent. Later in the series, Beth essentially adopts a young boy named Carter, continuing the theme of motherhood taking unconventional forms, which is the case with Cara and Spencer. Spencer is haunted by vivid flashbacks from his time fighting in WWI, and trauma plays a large role in shaping his character. These flashbacks also foreshadow the upcoming spinoff series, 1944; having fought in WWI, before the events of 1923, it is entirely possible that Spencer may be called to serve again in WWII. Financial hardship is a reoccurring challenge for the Dutton family in 1923. In Yellowstone, the family constantly battles to keep up with the rising taxes and overdue payments on the land. These same pressures exist in 1923, and by the end of the season, Whitfield sneakily pays off the Dutton ranch's tax debt, which put the family in debt to him. Similarly, the struggle of being in arrears is known all too well by John and Beth, who struggle to make payments in present day. One of the longest-running struggles in the Dutton universe is the relentless fight to keep the Yellowstone ranch in the family. In 1923, that threat comes to a head when Donald Whitfield (a wealthy, evil mining tycoon) uses violence, manipulation, money and legal influence to take the Dutton land. He represents the beginning of new age industrialists who don't care for tradition and wish to use the land for business purposes. In Yellowstone, it's a similar story as forces such as Dan Jenkins, the state government and market equities all pressure the Dutton family into selling their land or taking it by force. The Dutton family's fight for Yellowstone is ultimately one that sees them preserve their identity and way of life after fighting so hard to earn it. A large part of season one saw Teonna Rainwater endure horrific abuse at an American Indian boarding school for girls, which causes her to kill two nuns and flee the school. Now on the run, her fight for survival is filled with danger and despair as she nearly gives up on several occasions. While her fate in season two is still yet to unfold, it's likely that her determination and efforts led to the continuation of her family tree to live on. Ultimately, this leads to Chief Thomas Rainwater in Yellowstone. Like Teonna, Thomas carries the same resilience as her, as he is chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock.

Michelle Pfeiffer Will Lead 'Yellowstone' Spin-Off 'The Madison'
The Yellowstone spin-off formerly known as 2024 has a new, trend-breaking title: The Madison. Although Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan has shown quite the penchant for numeric titles in prior spin-offs of his hit western drama (see: 1883, 1923, and the reportedly forthcoming 1944), the first contemporary offshoot to follow Yellowstone's grand season 5 finale will take a different approach to its name—and its story. The Madison will reportedly follow not the flagship series's Dutton family (or, anyway, not only the Dutton family) but, rather, a group of New York transplants. Here's what little we know so far. Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Madison's official plot description is 'a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.' Although this logline points to a cast of characters apart from the Duttons, the Dutton line could still make an appearance, given their continued presence in Montana. As the Yellowstone season 5 finale outlines, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), now run a ranch in Dillon, Montana. They even have their own spin-off teed up with Paramount. Shall we take bets on a cross-over episode or two? In November 2024, Yellowstone and The Madison director Christina Alexandra Voros told Variety that 'the common ground' between the two shows 'is the landscape. We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished. There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being's place in that space, but it's coming at it from a completely different point of view.' Reports first circulated in 2023 that actor Matthew McConaughey would lead The Madison (then titled 2024) following Kevin Costner's contentious departure from Yellowstone. But that deal never came to light, and instead, actress Michelle Pfeiffer was eventually announced in 2024 as The Madison's lead actress. She will star alongside Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett, Ben Schnetzer, Amiah Miller, and Elle Chapman. The Madison is currently filming in Texas, but Paramount has yet to announce a release date for the series. This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Finn Little returns as carter in ‘Yellowstone' Beth and Rip spinoff — Family ties ride on
Actor Finn Little is officially set to reprise his role as Carter in the upcoming 'Yellowstone' spinoff centered around fan-favorite couple Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. The 19-year-old Australian actor joins Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who will return as Beth and Rip in the new OTT series, tentatively titled 'Dutton Ranch. ' Little's character, Carter, was introduced in Season 4 of 'Yellowstone' as a troubled teen who met Beth at the hospital while both were dealing with family trauma. After losing his father to drug addiction, Carter was taken in by Beth and Rip, forming a complex but heartfelt bond with the couple. From ranch hand to series regular Carter's journey from a teen who is a orphan to ranch hand became one of the emotional anchors of the original series. Though Beth initially resisted the idea of motherhood due to her past trauma, she and Rip initially grew to care deeply for Carter, offering him a home. In the spinoff, Little will return as a series regular, continuing as the Carter's curve with Beth and Rip as they explore life on a new ranch in Montana. The show is expected to remain in the present-day timeline, making it the most direct continuation of the original 'Yellowstone' universe. What we know about the spinoff so far The series will stream exclusively on Paramount+, unlike the original which aired on Paramount Network then it's one of several new entries in the 'Yellowstone' universe, including 'Y: Marshals' starring Luke Grimes and 'The Madison' with Michelle Pfeiffer. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

Yellowstone's Luke Grimes teases return of 'fan-favourites' in major spin-off update
Yellowstone is set to expand its universe with the upcoming spin-off Y: Marshals starring Luke Grimes Yellowstone official trailer Yellowstone enthusiasts can eagerly anticipate a plethora of spin-offs and sequels following the conclusion of the fifth and final season of the main drama late last year. Initially starring Kevin Costner as the formidable ranch owner John Dutton, the Paramount series experienced a significant delay when the Hollywood star departed midway through the final season. Shifting its focus to John's children, Beth (played by Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Grimes), and Jamie (Wes Bentley), the Taylor Sheridan-helmed franchise will perpetuate the Dutton narrative through numerous planned offshoots. Among these is the forthcoming CBS series Y: Marshals, which will see Kayce's return as he joins "an elite unit of US Marshals". The synopsis elaborates that he will be "combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence", reports the Mirror US. As of now, Grimes is the sole primary cast member from the original Yellowstone series confirmed to be participating in the new endeavour. However, in a significant update for the spin-off, the actor hinted that some familiar faces might make sporadic appearances. "You will see some familiar faces," he confirmed during an interview with TooFab while promoting his new film, Ari Aster's Eddington. "I'm excited to do it. It's going to be year eight for me, playing the same character, which is, who would have thought that I would ever play a character for eight years?" While it remains a mystery as to whom Grimes might be alluding, there's a strong possibility that both Beth and her spouse Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) could grace the screen with cameos, especially since they're set to lead their own spin-off series. It's also a reasonable bet to expect Kayce's partner Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and their offspring Tate (Brecken Merrill) to feature prominently. "[Kayce's] really close to my heart," Grimes continued. "He feels like a family member, and it would be weird to fully let him go anyway, so I'm glad we get to reconnect." Besides Y: Marshals and the series centred on Beth and Rip, another spin-off in the works, titled The Madison, will introduce viewers to a fresh clan within the Yellowstone world, headed by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell. Rumours suggest this new chapter could debut towards the end of 2025 or at the start of 2026, so fans should keep their diaries open for an influx of Yellowstone-related material in the forthcoming months.

What to watch on TV and streaming today: 1923, The Damned United and Young Sheldon
1923 RTÉ One, 9.35pm It's Montana, but not as we know it There's just no stopping the Yellowstone universe. Despite the fact that some observers claim the western genre is dead, the show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, has milked it for all it's worth — and is continuing to do so. As well as the original, present day-set series, which starred Kevin Costner as John Dutton III, the patriarch of a cattle ranch-owning family in Montana, Sheridan has devised two forthcoming sequels — The Madison and Y-Marshals — as well as two prequels. The first of those was 1883, and now the second, which premiered on Paramount+ three years ago, is about to make its RTÉ debut. Thirty-six years after making The Mosquito Coast together, it reunited Harrison Ford with Helen Mirren. Once again they play a married couple in a tale that takes us back to an earlier generation of the Dutton family. We follow Jacob (Ford) and his Irish wife Cara (Mirren) as they navigate their way through the early 20th century, encountering many of the same problems as those who come after them, including pandemics and drought, as well as Prohibition and the Great Depression. 'It's great at this point in my career, and this point in my life — which is, you know, towards the latter end of it, without a doubt — to find and to be offered great roles like Cara Dutton,' says Oscar-winning star Mirren. The wonderful news is that a second series has already been made; fingers crossed it won't be long before it's heading our way. 24 Hours in A&E Channel 4, 9pm Three mothers discuss their incredible stories. The first reveals how she beat cervical cancer at the age of 19, the second describes the grief she felt after her son's death, and the third explains the challenges and rewards involved in raising a child in need of extra care. Better Call Saul TG4, 10.30pm The fourth run of the Breaking Bad spin-off only ended last week, but the fifth is here already. The 10-part series begins with Jimmy now fully embracing his Saul Goodman persona. He also launches a new business strategy that annoys Kim, while Lalo hunts down the mysterious Michael. To Catch a Stalker BBC One, 11.40pm & 12.30am Zara McDermott's two-part documentary examines the disturbing rise in the number of reported stalking cases. She meets four women currently living in fear, as well as the police officers struggling to bring the perpetrators to justice. The Damned United BBC Two, 12am In 2006, acclaimed author David Peace published a largely fictionalised account of Brian Clough's disastrous 44-day spell in charge of English football giants Leeds United; three years later, it was adapted for the big screen. Michael Sheen is brilliant as Clough, with Colm Meaney rather uncanny as his rival, Don Revie. Timothy Spall also stars. Young Sheldon Netflix, streaming now Bear with me; both Disney+ and Netflix have had six seasons of Young Sheldon for years. Now, after an excruciating wait, Netflix has got its mittens on season seven. If you're rolling your eyes thinking, 'Hasn't that Big Bang offshoot been around forever?' Yes, it has, but it's far (far) superior to its predecessor. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Season 2 Reunion Special Disney+, streaming now How's that for a title? Following season two's dramatic finale, host Nick Viall brings #MomTok and #DadTok back together for revelations, unseen clips, and a surprise twist. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel Netflix, streaming now I don't know about you, but I'm not sure where I'd be without our Tuesday Trainwreck installment. The American Apparel brand soared in the early Noughties with salacious ads and ethical wear, but behind the scenes, chaotic leadership and misconduct allegations sent the brand into a downward spiral. For more stark viewing, Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers also arrives today. Shark Whisperer Netflix, streaming now Whether you deem her a social media opportunist or a 'changemaking' conservationist, you can't quibble with the (literal) name Ocean Ramsay has made for herself. Melding striking visuals with a close character study, the film dissects the ethical and ecological dilemmas at the heart of environmental activism. Perspectives from scientists, indigenous voices, and conservationists — on all sides — reveal the complexity of Ramsay and the issues she raises. Squid Game Netflix, streaming now Brace yourselves… In the wildly anticipated third and final season of Squid Game, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae, aka player 456) returns. Haunted by incremental loss, he's determined to end the deadly competition once and for all. His clash with the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) escalates into a (surprise, surprise) grave battle of strategy and morality, as new games and old enemies collide. With the expected level of twists — including a baby being added to the mix and the viral Gachapon craze (plastic vending balls to you) putting in a pivotal appearance — the stakes are high. As surviving players face progressively brutal choices, the line between justice and tainted vengeance increasingly blurs. Can humanity survive the harshest reality? As the world awaits the final answer, writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises a powerful conclusion to the global phenomenon. I think we'll be the collective judges of that. The Charles Ponzi Story AppleTV+, streaming now We've all heard of Ponzi schemes, but what do you know of their namesake? He was a broke immigrant based in 1920s Boston, who rocketed to wealth and infamy in mere months by orchestrating what would become known as the infamous scheme, one of history's boldest financial frauds. For more stories inspired by true events, try Smoke starring Taron Egerton, John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear.
