Harrison Ford is reportedly furious over producer Taylor Sheridan’s decision to end the hit Western series *1923*, 

which stars the 82-year-old actor as Jacob Dutton, the grandfather of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton from *Yellowstone*. 

Despite the show’s massive success and growing popularity, Sheridan has decided to pull the plug on the series 

before the second season even airs, leaving Ford frustrated and upset.

According to sources close to the production, Ford, who has invested significant time and energy into his role, is not pleased with Sheridan’s decision. 

The second season of *1923* is set to return to screens on February 23, but insiders reveal that Sheridan, the mastermind behind the *Yellowstone* franchise, has already made it clear that he is ready to move on after just two seasons of *1923*. 

While many expected the show to continue, Sheridan feels that he has told the story he set out to tell, despite the series’ success and its ability to bring in significant revenue.

An insider close to the situation shared, “Taylor feels like he told the story he wanted to tell and is done with it. He’s sticking to his guns, even though he got a lot of pressure to continue, since *1923* is a big moneymaker.” It seems that the decision to end the show came as a surprise to many, including its star, Harrison Ford, who was reportedly hoping to continue his role as the stoic patriarch of the Dutton family.

The series, which serves as a prequel to *Yellowstone*, has proven to be a hit for Paramount+ and has garnered a loyal fan base. Ford’s portrayal of Jacob Dutton alongside legendary actress Helen Mirren, who plays his wife Cara, has received critical acclaim. The show has provided the seasoned actor with a unique opportunity to play a role that taps into his love for Westerns and his appreciation for physically demanding roles. Ford, who has spent much of his career known for action-packed roles, reportedly relished the chance to stay in shape through the physical demands of *1923*.

A friend of Ford’s revealed that the actor was particularly fond of the convenience of filming on location in Butte, Montana, which is only a short flight away from his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. “Harrison loved the physical demands the show put on him,” the insider shared. “At his age, it was good incentive to stay in shape. Harrison grew up loving Western movies and TV shows, and getting paid millions to play cowboy was just catnip to him.”

However, despite his enthusiasm for the role and the financial rewards, Ford was reportedly upset by Sheridan’s decision to wrap up the series. According to the source, Ford even suggested ideas to extend the show’s storyline, but Sheridan remained resolute in his stance. The source added, “Harrison said he even came up with ideas to extend the series – but it was like talking to a brick wall with Taylor. Getting thrown off his horse is leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.”

While some sources close to the production have denied reports of a feud between the two men, it’s clear that Ford’s frustration over the cancellation of *1923* is genuine. Despite this, Ford’s co-star, Helen Mirren, recently praised his performance in the series, calling it “magical.” Mirren, 79, reflected on how Ford’s acting had evolved during the production of *1923*, saying, “Something rather magical has happened to Harrison…Now there’s this open road to his inner feelings, which he is absolutely unafraid of expressing.” 

Mirren went on to describe how Ford, who has long been known for his action-hero persona, had embraced a more vulnerable side, expressing emotions with a rawness that she had not previously seen. “It’s just a true, quick, instinctive emotional reaction to things, without sentimentality,” she added.

Despite the bittersweet end to *1923*, Ford’s performance in the show has left a lasting impact, and fans will have the chance to see him in action one last time when the second season airs in February. However, it remains to be seen how Ford and Sheridan’s professional relationship will evolve after this decision, as the actor seems unlikely to forget the abrupt end to his beloved role.
