EXCLUSIVE: Janet Montgomery (The Ex-Wife) has been cast in the second season of the Paramount+ original drama series 1923 in a recurring role. Montgomery will play Hillary, a thoughtful woman who does not want to see injustice go unpunished.
1923 follows a new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob (Harrison Ford) and matriarch Cara (Helen Mirren). The series explores the early 20th century, when pandemics, historic drought and the end of Prohibition plague the Mountain West and the Duttons who call it home.
Season 1 also stars Brandon Sklenar, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, Brian Geraghty, Sebastian Roche, Jennifer Ehle, Marley Shelton, Jerome Flynn, Michelle Randolph and Robert Patrick.
As Deadline revealed last month, Dexter alum Jennifer Carpenter was cast in Season 2 of the Taylor Sheridan series. She will recur as ‘Mamie Fossett,’ a highly capable U.S. Deputy Marshall who serves warrants and makes arrests with confidence ahead of her time.
Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, the series is executive produced by Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Ben Richardson, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox.
1923 is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+. Season 1 is available to binge exclusively on Paramount+.
The Western drama is one of multiple series from the Yellowstone creator’s P+ slate which includes Tulsa King and Lioness, both currently in production, Mayor Of Kingstown, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, 1883 and the upcoming Landman.
Montgomery is an English actress who recently wrapped filming Jonathan Baker’s upcoming film Fate, in which she stars alongside Faye Dunaway, playing the younger version of the same character, ‘Tilly.’ Prior film credits include Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, alongside Natalie Portman, and Our Idiot Brother, alongside Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks.
She can be seen starring in Paramount+’s series The Ex-Wife and NBC’s New Amsterdam and Quantum Leap. Previously, Montgomery starred as ‘Erin’ in NBC’s hit series This is Us and as ‘Mary Sibley’ in WGN America’s Salem. She also had roles in Netflix’s Black Mirror, HBO’s Entourage and PBS’ Downton Abbey. Montgomery is repped by CAA and Hamilton Hodell.
