Ever since the 1923 finale, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what’s next for the Dutton family. That ending left me with so many unanswered questions, and now, with 1944 on the horizon, the stakes feel higher than ever. Positioned smack dab in the middle of the Dutton timeline, 1944 has the unique challenge of connecting the past generations to the family we eventually meet in Yellowstone. And with the backdrop of World War II looming, everything about this chapter feels poised for drama, heartbreak, and transformation.
