Yellowstone's upcoming prequel has added another name to its impressive cast.

1923 has already signed up Star Wars' Harrison Ford and Fast & Furious' Helen Mirren for roles, and has now brought on The Vampire Diaries' Sebastian Roché.

Deadline reports that he will have a recurring role in the Taylor Sheridan series, though details of his specific character are unknown at the present.

The show – which was originally titled 1932 – looks at a new generation of the Dutton family in the early 20th century against the backdrop of Montana's great depression.

Paramount+ previously confirmed in a statement: "The next story will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home."

What to Read Next

It follows on from another prequel, 1883, which stars the likes of Sam Elliott and Faith Hill and looks into the Duttons getting their ranch. At the time of its launch late last year, it became Paramount+'s most-watched series around the world.

Roché famously played Mikael in The Vampire Diaries and its spin-off The Originals, and has also appeared in General Hospital and The Man in the High Castle. Last year, he joined the cast of Big Sky in the role of Sheriff Wagy.

The main Yellowstone show is gearing up for its fifth season later this year, and recently premiered a new teaser trailer, which includes Rip Wheeler cocking a shotgun after a John Dutton voiceover says: "We'll show the world who we are and what we do."

Yellowstone airs on Paramount+, which launched in the UK and Ireland on June 22.
