How to watch 1923 Yellowstone spinoff online right now — release date and time

The Dutton family saga has another chapter in 1923, the latest Yellowstone prequel on Paramount Plus — and you can watch it right now. The spinoff sees sees a different generation of Duttons — patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren) — running the ranch in the early 20th century.

The original Yellowstone series focuses on Kevin Costner's John Dutton III, the sixth-generation patriarch to oversee the large, prosperous ranch. He is carrying on a legacy started by ancestors James and Margaret Dutton, whose founding of the ranch is chronicled in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883.  

Here, in 1923, James' brother Jacob takes the reins at the ranch during a time of extreme hardships, including breakneck Western expansion, pandemics, droughts, Prohibition and the looming Great Depression.
