Brandon Sklenar (The Offer, Westworld) is the latest actor to join the cast of Paramount+’s Yellowstone prequel series 1923, which is being developed by Taylor Sheridan.
Sklenar will take on the role of Spencer Dutton, Jacob Dutton’s (Harrison Ford) nephew, and John Dutton Sr.’s (James Badge Dale) brother, who has witnessed the horrors of World War I.
The show will focus on the Dutton family’s “next two generations as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft; all battled beneath the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the nation by almost a decade. The show will also touch on the end of World War I, which occurred in 1918.”
The rest of the cast includes Hellen Mirren, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, and Julia Schlaepfer.
1923 is currently in production in Montana and will debut on Paramount+ in December 2022.
