Paramount+ dropped the first trailer for Yellowstone prequel 1923’s highly-anticipated second season on Sunday, teasing a bitter and bloody war between the Duttons and wealthy businessman Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) over the family’s Montana property. And, from the looks of it, Cara (Helen Mirren) and Jacob (Harrison Ford) Dutton are going to need all the help they can get in order to keep it.
In the trailer, Whitfield can be seen touting Montana as the next great “playground for the elite” to a collection of socialites over dinner, unveiling a painting that depicts a collection of cozy chalets with skiers enjoying the wintery landscape. Privately, however, he and Banner Creighton (Jerome Flynn) plot to “destroy” the Duttons once and for all.

“I’m trying to prevent a war here,” Robert Patrick’s Sheriff William McDowell says in the clip. Jacob, in turn, replies, “It ain’t preventable! He wants to take this place from us.”
He and Cara will hopefully find help in the return of their son Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) — if he can make it back to Montana in time, that is. The expert marksman, who was forcibly separated from his fiancée Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) at the end of season 1, appears to land himself in hot water once again in the clip, this time being held at gunpoint by a new character played by Jennifer Carpenter.
“My family is in danger,” Spencer says at one point. “My wife is lost to me, and I don’t have time.”
The Duttons can also be seen taking matters into their own hands throughout the trailer, firing a slew of guns both in and around their homestead. “Of all the things I’ve had to do for this ranch,” Mirren grumbles as she reloads her sniper, “this takes the cake.”
