1923 star Brandon Sklenar, who portrays Spencer Dutton in the Yellowstone prequel series,
has teased what to expect from the Dutton family’s story in season 2, hinting at some dark
developments ahead. 1923 season 1 ended with tragic circumstances for the family,
as Spencer is left stranded at a port, separated from Alex who is on her way to Montana. In the meantime, Jack Dutton’s fiancée Liz Strafford has a miscarriage, setting the stage for her story in season 2. At the same time, Jacob and Cara continue to try and protect the Ranch from its many threats.
Speaking with Forbes about the forthcoming season 2, Sklenar hinted at what to expect in 1923‘s next batch of episodes. The Spencer actor didn’t give too much away in terms of specific plot details but did reveal it would get dark. He also praised the series finale, satisfied with where creator Taylor Sheridan is taking his character’s arc. Check out what Sklenar had to say below:
The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful. It’s so hard for me to not give away spoilers. I do get plenty of Helen [Mirren] and Harrison [Ford] time, and it’s going to be special. I mean, the finale of the series is probably one of the best things I’ve read in my life. I’ve kind of known how it was going to end since day one – Taylor [Sheridan] kind of told me. I knew the full arc of Spencer from day one, so in shooting part one, your mindful of where he needs to go. I’m really excited.
