1923 is an exclusive Paramount show and thus is not available on Paramount Plus and Amazon Prime. 1923 is yet to be available in other streaming services.

1923 is a sequel to the Western drama 1883 and a prequel to Yellowstone. The show follows the life of the Dutton family. The show focus on the timeline of the Great Depression, where prohibition and Western Expansion were significant issues.

The cast of the new show includes Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford in the main roles. The other cast members are Jerome Flynn, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, and Darren Mann.

After the premiere of its first episode, Paramount is set to release the second one after a two-week break. The second episode will be released on January 1, 2023, just in time for the new year. The series will have a total of eight episodes.

Why Is 1923 Not On Paramount Plus and Amazon Prime?


1923 is not available on Paramount Plus and Amazon prime because it is a Paramount exclusive at this point. The series is streaming only in a limited number of regions.

The first episode of the Yellowstone prequel was released on December 18, 2022. The show is made available from mainly two channels, including the Paramount Network at 9 pm ET and on Paramount Plus.

However, people who have subscribed to the streaming channel are disappointed because they still haven’t gotten access to the series. And since neither Paramount + nor amazon prime has addressed the issue, confusion among fans is only growing.

When it comes to these streaming services, fans have either one of these two options: they can subscribe to Paramount+ directly or through Amazon Prime. Those who have chosen the latter still need access to 1923.

According to Decider, new releases are added to Paramount+ at 3 am ET (midnight PT). It is mainly because of geographical restrictions and Paramount’s copyright provisions.

Since the show will also stream on Paramount Network, those who miss it on the streaming service can always follow up there. After the initial release, there was a repeat showing at 11:56 pm ET. But only the show’s first episode will be streaming on the network.

How To Watch 1923 In the UK, Australia, and Canada?

1923 was released to be streamed in Canada, the UK, and Australia. However, it will stream a day later in UK and Australia.

The series premiered on Sunday, December 18, at midnight PT (3:00 am. ET) in Canada and the US. But for the fans in Australia and the UK, the wait was a little longer as it made its debut a day later, on December 19, in the region.

The show is only available in Paramount Plus and not Prime Video in all three countries. Those with a subscription to the channel can watch the prequel without restriction, but viewers cannot find it on Prime Video.

If users want to stream it on Amazon Prime, the best option is to use a workable VPN to connect with the regions where it is available on Prime.

The audience can use VPN to change their location to New Zealand easily. For now, it is the best location to connect to as 1923 is available in Prime Video in the region.

Paramount is yet to announce the release dates in other international territories. Still, for the authentic streaming experience, 1923 is easily accessible to stream on Paramount+.

The service works with Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, and other compatible devices. There is an option to choose between the Essential Plan, $4.99/month or $49.99/year, or the Premium Plan, $9.99/month or $99.99 annually. The premium plan includes a CBS live stream free of ads.
