‘1932‘, the ‘Yellowstone’ prequel series from Paramount+, is shooting for big stars. Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford have been cast in director Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone origin story. The series will premiere in December on Paramount+. Plus, it will be unique to the platform.
‘1932’ was picked up direct to series in February. Further, it will examine the early twentieth century when pandemics, unprecedented droughts, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all wreak havoc on the Mountain West and the Duttons who call it home. In fact, till now the roles of Mirren and Ford’s parts have not yet spilled.
Paramount Is Casting Big For Its Yellowstone Prequel
The casting is a significant step forward for Paramount+, and it comes ahead of parent company Paramount Global’s presentation to Madison Avenue ad buyers on Wednesday. Although the flagship series streams solely on NBCUniversal-backed Peacock TV as part of a licensing arrangement that occurred before ViacomCBS extended the platform to include programming from across its library, ‘1932‘ arrives as its prior series has evolved into a major hit franchise.
The sitcom will premiere on the Paramount Network. Paramount Network is under the ownership of Paramount Global. MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions are all involved in the production of ‘1932‘. Also, Sheridan, John Linson, Art Linson, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, and Ben Richardson are among the executive producers.

This is the ‘Star Wars‘ and ‘Indiana Jones‘ star’s first recurring role in a comedy series. Ford’s first dramatic series regular part will be in 1932.
