Paramount+ has welcomed The Morning Show star Augustus Prew to the cast of Season 2 of 1923, which will once again be led by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren. Prew has been tapped to play the recurring role of Paul, who is described as "a handsome, bookish, well-to-do young British man on a passenger ship."
Julia Schlaepfer Talks About the 'Yellowstone' Prequel
"1923 focuses on the next two generations of the Dutton family as they struggle to survive a historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle rustling; all fought under the cloud of Montana's Great Depression, which preceded the nation by nearly a decade," the synopsis reads.
Prew will officially join returning cast members Ford, Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, Jerome Flynn and more. In addition to Prew, Season 2 will also introduce Dexter veteran Jennifer Carpenter as a U.S. deputy sheriff named Mamie Fossett and New Amsterdam’s Janet Montgomery as Hillary. Production is expected to begin later this year.
The Yellowstone prequel is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions. Executive producers are Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Ben Richardson, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox.
