'I'm thrilled to be part of '1932'- Harrison Ford takes lead role in Yellowstone prequel

"I'm taking a journey back in time, and I'm bringing my fans along." Harrison Ford, an iconic actor synonymous with legendary film franchises such as "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones," has a new adventure on the horizon. And this time, it’s on the small screen.

A Journey to "1932"

Ford is gearing up to star alongside the illustrious Helen Mirren in Taylor Sheridan's riveting "Yellowstone" prequel, aptly titled “1932.” As reported by Variety, this Paramount+ sensation takes viewers back to a transformative era marked by Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the ever-evolving American westward expansion. This historic backdrop will be the setting for the tales of the Dutton family, tracing their lineage and impact from the earlier "1883" installment.

Diving into TV Waters

It's notable that this isn't Ford's first foray into television of late. Earlier this year, the buzz was all about his debut major TV role in the Apple comedy series "Shrinking." Many might associate Ford with his iconic roles, such as the "Blade Runner" and the globe-trotting archaeologist from "Indiana Jones," which is prepping for its fifth iteration. But now, with these TV projects, Ford is expanding his horizons, proving his versatility yet again.

The Power Duo: Ford and Mirren

"I've always admired Ford's dedication," remarked Mirren, a powerhouse in her own right. With accolades including the Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for her impeccable performance in 2007’s “The Queen,” Mirren is no stranger to cinematic success. Her versatility, which spans the high-paced action in “Fast & Furious” to nuanced roles in “Gosford Park” and “The Madness of King George,” makes this collaboration a force to reckon with.

What's Ahead

Audiences can anticipate the premiere of "1932" on Paramount+ this coming December. With a robust production team that includes MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios, and Bosque Ranch Productions, the show promises a captivating narrative and top-notch performances. And with Sheridan at the helm, working on numerous projects including a season of “Mayor of Kingstown” and “Tulsa King,” viewers can expect nothing but excellence.
