The installment will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the Mountain West, and the Duttons who call it home.

The series follows the drama involving the family and local residents of their Montana ranch, Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, which borders the Broken Rock Indian Reservation. Gil Birmingham, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Danny Huston and Cole Hauser also star.
Following the success of Yellowstone, Sheridan released the first prequel 1883, focusing on how the Duttons came to own the land that would later house their ranch. That cast includes Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
1932 is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions.
Roché most recently starred in ABC’s Big Sky as Sheriff John Wagy as part of the Season 1 cast. Prior credits include HBO’s The Young Pope opposite Jude Law; Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle; the CW’s Batwoman; as well as National Geographic’s Genius series for Season 2 which focused on Pablo Picasso.

His extensive TV credits also include roles in Alias, General Hospital, Charmed, 24 and Magnum P.I.
