The Writer’s Strike is claiming another victim. Production of season two of 1923 has been delayed indefinitely due to the strike, per Deadline. The Yellowstone prequel series is from Taylor Sheridan.
Starring Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Sebastian Roché, Isabel May, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, Jacques Schembri, Brandon Sklenar, Robert Patrick, Jerome Flynn, Jennifer Ehle, and Timothy Dalton, the Paramount+ series follows a generation of the Dutton family living during the earlier 20th century.
Production of 1923 season two was scheduled to start on June 5th, but it did not begin then. Deadline revealed the following:
“According to a report from NBC Montana, Butte Civic Center manager Bill Melvin said he was contacted by the production of the Paramount+ series that filming had been postponed as the WGA strike continues.
Filming for the sophomore season of 1923 was due to start on Monday, June 5, and according to Melvin, production is paying $75,000 a month to use the Civic Center through the end of the year.”
Season one of the historical drama aired on Paramount+ earlier this year. Originally, the series was planned for a limited one season run of eight episodes, but it was later expanded to two eight-episode seasons.
