ViacomCBS announces 1932, the second Yellowstone prequel after 1883

ViacomCBS announced it has rebranded itself as Paramount Global in an effort to capitalize on its most recognized name and to emphasize its streaming business, Paramount+, which now has 32.8 million subscribers.

With a goal of reaching 100 subscribers by 2024, the company is focusing, of course, on content, new and existing, and among its biggest plans are all things Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the Paramount+ megahit Yellowstone. Season 5 of Yellowstone will be a supersized 14 episodes, premiering this summer and split into two halves.

Sheridan’s second Yellowstone prequel series (after the current hit 1883) will be titled 1932, and will premiere this year.

Another new Sheridan-created series, Tulsa King, starring Sylvester Stallone as an Oklahoma mob boss recently released from prison, will premiere this year on the Paramount Network before moving to Paramount+.

Sheridan will also create Land Man, starring Billy Bob Thornton, based on the “Boomtown” podcast, as a crisis manager for an oil company in West Texas, where “roughnecks and wildcat billionaires” are shaping modern-day climate, economies, and politics.

And, back to the Yellowstone universe, while 1932 will revolve around John Dutton Sr., the father of Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone character, and a second season of 1883 has been ordered, a third (so far) Yellowstone spin-off, 6666, is being planned for later this year or possibly early 2023. That series will likely revolve around Yellowstone’s Jimmy (Jefferson White) and be set at the famous Texas ranch.

The very busy Sheridan is also working on a second season of his Jeremy Renner family crime drama Mayor of Kingstown.
