Yellowstone has grown a huge fan base since the Western drama first premiered in 2018 and has since spawned several spin-offs including last year’s 1883.
Now, the first four episodes of Yellowstone‘s latest spin-off, titled 1923, have landed and introduced a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Dame Helen Mirren).
The Paramount Plus series picks up after the events of 1883, exploring the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plagued the mountain west.
Unfortunately, viewers will have to wait a while to see the next developments, with episode 5 of the Yellowstone prequel set to land on Paramount Plus in February 2023.
So, when will episode 5 come out? Here’s everything you need to know about 1923’s mid-season hiatus.
1923 episode 5 release date on Paramount Plus
The fifth episode of 1923 will be released on Paramount Plus UK on Monday 6th February 2023.
We can’t wait!

So far, viewers have got used to the regular viewing schedule of 1923, with episodes airing weekly on Mondays here in the UK. In the US, the show airs on the Sunday.
The rest of the series will follow suit in the same release pattern. But with one major twist – there will be a mid-season hiatus.
Following the release of the fourth episode, the series is pausing for a short period of time, with the final four episodes airing weekly from Monday 6th February.
The eight-episode series will likely wrap up with an epic season finale so make sure that Monday 27th February is marked in your calendars.

What has happened so far in 1923?

Although the series is filled with family drama and tension, fans of Yellowstone do already know how things pan out for the Dutton family.
Of course, we know them to be the successful family of ranchers in the most recent seasons of the hit drama, so this prequel series only gives us an insight into the family members that came before them. Spoilers ahead…
1923 has so far included death, flash forwards, split narratives in Kenya, a lot of familial hostility and growing tensions in the farming community.
In the third episode, eldest brother John Dutton Senior was surprisingly killed off, much to the devastation of his family.
It was a plot formulated by a group of local sheep farmers in a dramatic act of revenge but will the Duttons exact revenge back? And will Spencer return from Africa in order to help the family cope with the loss of his brother?
We’ll just have to wait and see how the series will unfold and further slot into the Yellowstone universe.
Who stars in 1923?
As well as Dame Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford leading the cast as Cara and Jacob Dutton, the series also stars Brandon Sklenar (Midway) as Spencer Dutton, James Badge Dale (Hightown) as John Dutton Senior, Julia Schlaepfer (The Politician) as Alexandra, and Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones) as Banner Creighton
