1923 Season 2 Will Definitively End Yellowstone Spinoff As Franchise Faces Major Overhaul
Amid the franchise's major changes, Yellowstone prequel star Brandon Sklenar confirms 1923 season 2 will be its last and finish its contained story.
1923 season 2 is set to conclude the Yellowstone spinoff show as the franchise faces a major overhaul. The prequel series follows Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton’s (Helen Mirren) effort to protect the Yellowstone ranch from desperate ranchers and wealthy businessmen who wish to seize control and exploit the expansive land. 1923 was positioned as a two-season show when it first premiered, but in the age of constant extensions and reboots, it wasn’t clear if the spinoff could continue beyond its initial story.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter on a cast panel, Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, explains 1923 will definitely end with season 2. When asked if the Yellowstone prequel has a future season 3 and beyond, Sklenar calls the series “limited,” closing the door on any questions regarding the show’s continuation. Read what the actor says below:
“No, no, it’s bookend. It’s still limited, but I think of it as one piece — there’s just a split in the middle, but it’s all one piece. It will conclude.”
