• "Yellowstone" prequel series "1923" returns to screens for season two on February 23.
• It's been around two years since audiences were first introduced to the earlier generation of Duttons.
• If you don't have time to rewatch season one, here's a recap of what's happened so far.

After a roughly two-year wait, "1923" is finally set to return to screens.

Season two of the Paramount Network drama, which stars Hollywood legends Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, premieres on Sunday, February 23.

The series, created and written by Taylor Sheridan, is an origin story about an earlier generation of Duttons and their struggle to hold onto the land that makes up the "Yellowstone" ranch.

But as audiences who tuned into season one saw, there was more to "1923" than just the story of the Duttons.

In case you need a refresher on what happened, Business Insider has you covered. Here's a rundown of what went down in season one of "1923."

The Duttons' ownership of their Montana ranch was under threat.

Much of season one of "1923" revolved around the Duttons' battle to keep hold of their land and cattle. After angering a group of local sheepmen led by Scottish sheepherder Banner Creighton (Jerome Flynn), the family found themselves caught up in a range war.

By the end of the season, Banner had found a powerful ally in mining magnate Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) who found another way to destroy the Duttons.

In the final moments of the season one finale, he showed up at the ranch with a signed document from the bank stating that the ranch's deed would revert to him if Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) did not manage to pay his property taxes by the end of the year.

As viewers saw throughout season one, Jacob has no way to pay the ranch's debts, having been denied a loan to purchase more cattle or hay, and is against the idea of taking out a mortgage.

There were two major deaths in the Dutton family.

Tragedy struck early on in season one when Jacob's nephew John (James Badge Dale) — who was originally introduced as a child in "1883" as the son of James and Margaret Dutton — was killed in a shootout with Banner and his men.

Beset by grief, his wife Emma (Marley Shelton) shot herself soon after, leaving behind their adult son Jack (Darren Mann) to help defend the ranch with Jacob and Cara (Helen Mirren).

The adventuring Spencer learned that he needed to return to the ranch.

Before the series began, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) left the family homestead in Montana to fight in World War I. When the war ended, he chose not to return and instead became a big game hunter in Africa.

He only learned of the peril at the ranch after his traveling companion Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) encouraged him to read a stack of unopened letters sent by his aunt Cara.

Once he did, the pair wasted no time in starting their journey back to Montana. He and Alexandra left Kenya via a rickety tugboat that ended up capsizing before being rescued by a cruise liner that took them to Sicily.

Once there, they boarded an England-bound liner, with plans to board another ship to America once there, hoping to make it back to Montana in time to save the ranch.

Spencer's homecoming was delayed. 

Without realizing it, Spencer and Alexandra boarded the same ship as Alexandra's scorned ex-fiancé and his aristocratic family.

Tensions built up over the course of the weekslong journey, resulting in Alexandra's former flame, Arthur (Rafe Soule), challenging Spencer to a duel, which Spencer won. Afterward, Arthur pulled a pistol on Spencer, leading Spencer to throw him overboard in self-defense.

As a result, newlyweds Spencer and Alexandra were separated. Spencer made it ashore to the nearest port, and Alexandra vowed to reunite with him in Bozeman, Montana.

Jack and Elizabeth also faced heartbreaking news by the end of the season.

Audiences saw another tragedy unfold when Spencer's nephew Jack and his wife Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) discovered that she had had a miscarriage.

It came after she sustained an abdominal injury during a shoot-out earlier in the season, and it's suggested that this has affected her ability to carry children and continue on the Dutton name.

Native American teenager Teonna managed to escape her abusive boarding school.

Alongside Spencer's odyssey to return to the Dutton homestead, the first season of "1923" also focused on the homeward journey of Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves).

Teonna is a young girl from the "Yellowstone" universe's fictional Broken Rock Reservation who has been taken away from her tribe and placed in a residential boarding school run by the sadistic Catholic priest, Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché).

After suffering abuse at the hands of some of the school's nuns, she eventually escapes.

While wandering the badlands, she reunited with her father, Runs His Horse (Michael Spears), and crossed the border from South Dakota into Wyoming. However, a determined Father Renaud wasn't far behind.

• Harrison Ford plays President Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross in "Captain America: Brave New World."
• The former military general transforms into the Red Hulk as part of a conspiracy against him.
• Here's how and why Ford's character is given a monstrous makeover.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Captain America: Brave New World."

"Captain America: Brave New World" revolves around a conspiracy against President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (Harrison Ford) which forces him to transform into the Red Hulk by the end of the film.

It's the first Marvel movie since Chris Evans left the franchise after "Avengers: Endgame," and Anthony Mackie took over as Captain America.

In "Brave New World," Ross is eager to make an impression in the first 100 days as US president. His main drive is to negotiate a treaty with India and Japan to mine the giant dead alien sticking out of the Indian Ocean after 2021's "Eternals."

But an unknown villain starts using brainwashed soldiers to attack Ross, before also turning on India and Japan's respective military presence in the Indian Ocean before they can make the treaty.

All of this raises Ross' fiery temper until he's red in the face. Here's why Ross turns into Red Hulk.

Samuel Sterns, a character from 'The Incredible Hulk,' returns to get revenge on President Ross

Samuel Sterns (Tim Blake Nelson) is the mastermind behind the conspiracy against Ross. He first appeared in 2008's "The Incredible Hulk." Toward the end of that film, a drop of Bruce Banner's (Edward Norton) irradiated blood splashes into Sterns' head wound and causes his brain to expand, making him infinitely smarter.

In "Brave New World," Sterns explains to Wilson that Ross imprisoned him in an underground military base to force him into making advanced weapons for the United States.

He also found a solution for Ross' severe heart condition and provided him with cutting-edge medication to keep him alive. In return, Ross promised he would free Sterns when he was elected President, but instead, he left him to rot in prison.

Sterns wants to take revenge by turning him into a monster to destroy Ross' political career.

Sterns is secretly dosing the President with gamma radiation via his medication, and by the end of the film, there is enough in his body to transform him into the Red Hulk when his temper hits boiling point during a press conference.

The Red Hulk goes on a rampage through Washington, D.C., and destroys part of the White House. But following a lengthy fight with Captain America, Ross regains control and returns to normal.

In the comics, Ross becomes the Red Hulk after his daughter dies

The Red Hulk first debuted in March 2008's "Hulk #1," but the monster's true identity was kept secret for over two years until "Hulk #23" in August 2010.

A flashback in issue #23 explains that Ross' daughter, Betty, was killed by Abomination, one of the Hulk's archenemies.

Ross' grief combined with his hate for the Hulk, pushed him to work with Sterns — who goes by "The Leader" in the comics — and another supervillain, Modok, to gain the Hulk's powers.

Ross' body emits heat because the gamma radiation affects him differently than Bruce Banner, which is why he's red, not green.
