Harrison Ford films the second season of 1923 in Montana after a long delay due to the actors’ strike

Harrison Ford was spotted stepping back into his character of Jacob Dutton on set of 1923 while filming the Western drama’s second season on Sunday in Montana.

The Indiana Jones star,  82 – who recently celebrated his wife Calista Flockhart’s 60th birthday – could be seen standing on a snow-covered sidewalk as he shot a scene in the chilly weather. 

Ford bundled up wearing a double-breasted, dark blue coat that was buttoned at the front, as well as a pair of olive green trousers. 

The actor additionally donned a plaid shirt and scarf underneath while slipping into a pair of blue shoes. 

For a finishing touch, Harrison added a brown hat on top of his head while a shiny, silver sheriff’s pin was placed on the left side of his jacket. 

Last year in February, the Paramount+ prequel to Yellowstone was officially renewed for season two – after the series debuted with 7.4 million viewers. 

After facing a delay during the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, the show – created and co-written by Taylor Sheridan – appears to be in full production. 

Cast members from the first season are expected to return, including Helen Mirren who plays Cara Dutton, as well as Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer, Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph (who is now on Landman) and Brian Geraghty. 

The premise of the drama follows, ‘The Duttons as they face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression,’ per IMDB.   

New stars will also be joining the original cast, such as Augustus Prew and Dexter alum, Jennifer Carpenter. 

Plot details for the upcoming season have remained under wraps with the show still in its development stages. 

During an interview with The Wrap last year, Harrison reflected on taking on a leading role in the prequel series. 

He explained, ‘Both Helen and I signed up at whatever time without a script and Taylor Sheridan was producing that script while I was making this last television project,’ referencing to the show Shrinking. 

‘We’re both thrilled with the outcome and the characters that were created and the opportunities that those characters presented.’

1923 is the second prequel to the hit Yellowstone series – with 1883 starring Faith Hill and husband Tim McGraw premiering in 2021. 

While talking to the outlet, Ford discussed how he had been a fan of Yellowstone before 1923. 

‘I admire what Kevin [Costner is] doing. I’ve always admired him as he’s a wonderful actor and he’s had a fantastic career.’

Ford continued, ‘But it was more important for me to spend what time I had watching 1883. I really wanted to be grounded in the experience of the history of a family up to the point.’ 

‘I didn’t spend that much time watching the most contemporary iteration of the Dutton family.’ 

During an interview with Deadline, Sheridan opened up about casting Ford and Mirren – and also having them do more than one season. 

‘They were excited. They only signed on originally for one season. They were so eager to continue it,’ the writer stated. 

‘Harrison made a comment at one point, he goes, “Taylor I think I’m making the best thing I’ve made in 20 years.”‘

‘They were excited. They only signed on originally for one season. They were so eager to continue it,’ Sheridan stated; Mirren and Ford seen in February in Beverly Hills 

Taylor jokingly added, ‘And my response to him was, “What the f**k did you make 20 years ago as good as this? What was that? I missed that one. What was it?”‘ 

Last month in October, Harrison revealed that he has no plans to retire from acting and explained his decision. 

‘I get out of it essential human contact,’ he explained. ‘I get to imagine with people that have great skill and experience. It’s fun to work with these people.’ 

And in June of last year, he further reflected on why he enjoys stepping in front of the camera in his early 80s. 

‘I don’t do well when I don’t have work,’ Ford told Variety. ‘I love to work. I love to feel useful. It’s my jones. I want to be helpful.’

The Blade Runner actor added, ‘It is the people you get to work with. The intensity and the intimacy of collaboration.’ 

‘It’s the combined ambition somehow forged from words on a page. I don’t plan what I want to do in a scene. I don’t feel obliged to do anything. I’m naturally affected by things that I work on.’ 

Along with the second season of 1923, Harrison has other projects under his belt – such as Captain America: Brave New World, which is set to release next year in February 2025. 

He took on the role of the Red Hulk – also known as Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross – alongside Anthony Mackie, Seth Rollins and Rosa Salazar.
