The Yellowstone universe continues to captivate audiences with its gripping storytelling and rich historical drama. Following the success of 1883 and 1923 , creator Taylor Sheridan is expanding the Dutton family saga with a new prequel series, 1944 . Set during the tumultuous World War II era, this upcoming spin-off promises to deliver another chapter of the Dutton legacy. Here's everything we know so far about 1944 , including release date speculation, potential cast, plot details, and more. What Is 1944 About?
While Paramount+ has yet to release an official synopsis for 1944 , the title provides a clear hint: the series will be set in 1944, during the height of World War II. As a prequel to Yellowstone and a follow-up to 1923 , 1944 is expected to explore the next generation of the Dutton family as they navigate life on the Yellowstone Ranch in Montana. The show will likely incorporate historical events, such as the D-Day invasion of Normandy or the Battle of the Bulge, blending real-world history with the Duttons' personal struggles, a hallmark of Sheridan's storytelling. 1944 Release Date Speculation
As of April 2025, Paramount+ has not announced an official release date for 1944 . With 1923 Season 2 concluding on April 13, 2025, and other Yellowstone projects like The Madison and Landman in development, 1944 is likely still in pre-production. Industry insiders suggest a release window of late 2025 to early 2026, factoring in production timelines for filming and post-production. 944 Cast: Who Might Star in the Yellowstone Spin-off?
No official casting announcements have been made for 1944 , but the 21-year gap between 1923 and 1944 opens the door for some familiar faces from 1923 to return, albeit aged up. Here are the key possibilities: Brandon Sklenar as Spencer Dutton
Julia Schlaepfer as Alexandra Dutton
Darren Mann as Jack Dutton and Michelle Randolph as Elizabeth Dutton

Springsteen's Berlin concert echoes with history and a stark warning
BERLIN (AP) — Veteran rock star Bruce Springsteen, a high-profile critic of President Donald Trump, slammed the U.S. administration as 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' during a concert Wednesday in Berlin. He was addressing tens of thousands of fans at a stadium built for the 1936 Olympic Games that still bears the scars of World War II and contains relics from the country's dark Nazi past. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices, stand with us against authoritarianism, and let freedom reign,' he said. Springsteen, long a political opponent of the president, has made increasingly pointed and contentious public statements in recent concerts. He denounced Trump's politics during a concert last month in Manchester, calling him an 'unfit president' leading a 'rogue government' of people who have 'no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American.' Springsteen is no stranger to Berlin. In July 1988, he became one of the first Western musicians to perform in East Germany, performing to a ravenous crowd of 160,000 East Germans yearning for American rock 'n' roll and the freedom it represented to the youth living under the crumbling communist regime. An Associated Press news story from that period says 'fireworks steaked through the sky' and hundreds of people in the audience waved handmade American flags as they sang along to 'Born in the USA.' Almost four decades later, Springsteen issued a stark warning: 'The America that I love, the America that I've sung to you about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

Fancy Swiss Chocolatier Läderach Is Bringing ‘FrischSchoggi' to Washington State
Seattle-area malls are going to be upgrading their chocolate offerings this summer, as the Swiss brand Läderach is set to open two stores, one in Westfield Southcenter next month, and one in Bellevue Square in August. These will be the first Läderach locations in Washington State; the chain already has locations across the country, including a flagship store in New York. So, what's Läderach? The thing the brand is most famous for, according to the press release we got, is 'FrischSchoggi,' a.k.a. fresh chocolate. You order at the counter by weight, and a Läderach chocolatier breaks pieces of chocolate off of slabs. The stores will also have the kinds of thing you'd expect at a chocolate shop, including truffles, bars, popcorn, and so on. Everything comes from Läderach's production facilities in Switzerland. Now on to more news you should know: Rainier Beer may not be brewed in Seattle anymore, but the brand is still trying to keep a foot on the ground here with R-Day, a free music festival in Georgetown that serves as a 'thank you letter' to Seattle, according to the brand. This year R-Day lands on September 6, and will be headlined by Mudhoney. There will also be food courtesy of the Dubsea Fish Sticks truck, plus (of course) Rainier Beer and cocktails using Rainier gin. Go here for more info. After a $2.5 million renovation, the cafe at the Museum of Pop Culture has reopened. The new restaurant, called The Lounge, features food from new head chef Athan Pixler. According to a press release, Pixler's menu will include items like tempura squash blossoms, dry-aged salmon with dashi, and a koji-aged burger with bone marrow butter. This follows a trend of museums around town stepping their dining game up; a couple years ago acclaimed tapas restaurant MariPili took over the cafe at the Frey. Seattle's most famous market is throwing its annual big fundraising dinner on August 16. The Sunset Supper, which brings together 100 restaurants and producers for a party at the market, regularly raises hundreds of thousands for the Pike Place Market Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the market and provides a variety of social services in the neighborhood. Tickets are $250; to purchase and for more information, go here. See More: Coming Attractions Seattle Restaurant News

She Thought She Was Talking to a Famous 'Yellowstone' Actor — But It Was a $62K Scam
She Thought She Was Talking to a Famous 'Yellowstone' Actor — But It Was a $62K Scam originally appeared on Parade. A woman from Evanston, Ill., reportedly lost $62,000 after a con artist used the likeness of Yellowstone star Kevin Costner's name and image. According to Chicago's WGN 9, the woman spent six months communicating with someone she believed was Costner via the messaging app Telegram. The impersonator convinced her that she was making an investment, claiming that sending gift cards would be converted into cryptocurrency and eventually returned to her with profit. But that payday never came. Instead, she was left empty-handed, with the Evanston Police Department confirming she'd been targeted by a longtime cryptocurrency scam ring that has been active since at least 2018. "Due to the nature of the crime, an arrest is highly unlikely," police told local news, noting that even recovering the stolen funds could be a long shot. The woman has reportedly been advised to contact her credit card companies, but so far, she has not gotten any of her money back. Costner isn't the only celebrity name being used in these elaborate catfish schemes. Earlier this year, a woman in Texas was scammed out of $18,000 by someone pretending to be country star in a romance-based con. In 2024, a Vince Gill superfan lost her life savings and retirement to a similar online hoax — a scam so emotionally and financially destructive that it fractured her relationships with friends and family. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), when a celebrity contacts you on social media and asks for money, there are certain steps one should take: Slow down. Before you send money, talk with someone you trust. Do some research: search online for the celebrity's name plus 'scam.' Do the same with any charity or cause they're asking you to support—and learn more about charity scams here. Never send money, gift cards or prepaid debit cards to someone you don't know or haven't met – even celebrities you meet on social media. If you sent money to a scammer, contact the company you used to send the money (your bank, wire transfer service, gift card company, or prepaid debit card company). Tell them the transaction was a fraud. Ask the company to reverse the transaction, if it's possible. Report your experience to the social media site and to the FTC.
