The original Yellowstone series focuses on Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III, the sixth-generation patriarch to oversee the large, prosperous ranch. He is carrying on a legacy started by ancestors James and Margaret Dutton, whose founding of the ranch is chronicled in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883.   Here, in 1923, James’ brother Jacob takes the reins at the ranch during a time of extreme hardships, including breakneck Western expansion, pandemics, droughts, Prohibition and the looming Great Depression. Here’s what you need to watch 1923 online. Plus, check out the trailer: 

How to watch 1923 online anywhere on Earth

Just because Paramount Plus isn’t available everywhere (though it’s expanding) doesn’t mean you need to miss 1923 if you’ve travelled somewhere where the service isn’t accessible. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go. We’ve evaluated many options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It’s also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)
