Journey to 1944: Next Yellowstone Prequel Series Explores Dutton Family History During World War II Era
But wait there is even MORE Dutton history coming our way. Taylor Sheridan is not stopping with just one spinoff oh no. A new prequel series titled "1944" is also in development. This series will jump ahead from "1923" placing the Dutton saga right in the middle of World War II. Imagine Dutton family drama against the backdrop of global conflict!
While details are still under wraps "1944" is expected to continue tracing the Dutton family origin story. "1923" gave us Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren but "1944" might focus on their kids or grandkids as they navigate life during wartime. Will we see young John Dutton III's parents? Will World War II impact the Yellowstone Ranch directly? These are all questions we are itching to get answered.
Who Are John Dutton's Grandparents? 1944 Spinoff Might Finally Solve Yellowstone's Biggest Family Mystery
Speaking of family history there is one burning question Yellowstone fans have had for ages: Who exactly are John Dutton III's grandparents? "1923" introduced us to Jacob and Cara Dutton but it is still unclear if their nephew Spencer or great-nephew Jack is the direct ancestor of Kevin Costner's character.
"1944" might finally give us the answer. Many fans are speculating that Spencer Dutton the war hero from "1923" is likely John Dutton III's grandfather. His storyline is being continued in "1944" which could suggest his importance in the Dutton lineage. Plus his wife Alexandra is pregnant in "1923" and their child could very well be John Dutton II making Spencer and Alexandra the grandparents we have been searching for. Could "1944" be the final piece of the Dutton family puzzle? We can't wait to find out.
