More suspense, drama, and, of course, murder are in store for the Duttons in Yellowstone’s new prequel series, 1923. But how are these Duttons related to the members we’ve already met in Yellowstone and the origin story series 1883? Here’s everything you need to know.

Jacob Dutton

Jacob (Harrison Ford) is the brother of James Dutton (played by Tim McGraw in 1883). Following the deaths of his siblings, he heads the Dutton ranch with his wife Cara in 1923.
