The newest addition to the “Yellowstone” universe comes after Faith Hill and Tim McGraw starred in “1883,” which was released in February.

“Yellowstone” reportedly began filming season 5 of the series in Montana in March.

This will be a return to TV acting for Ford. The 79-year-old actor was last seen on television in a cameo episode of “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” in 1993.

Ford got his start in TV acting in the 1960s in “The Virginian” and “Mod Squad,” but was never cast for a permanent role in a TV series.

On the other hand, Mirren, made a name for herself in the TV series “Prime Suspect,” which was released in the early 1990s.
