Brandon Sklenar Says ‘1923’ Season 2 Will Be ‘Almost a Different Show’—Here’s Why

After two years, it is finally upon us: 1923 season 2. The prequel series to the wildly popular Yellowstone follows the Dutton family in the early 1920s. In the first season, Jacob and Cara Dutton were fighting for their lives defending the family ranch from shady businessmen trying to take it over. Meanwhile, the couple’s nephew Spencer was abroad, dealing with his World War I trauma and falling in love with Alexandra, whose pesky ex Spencer accidentally kills in self-defense. Now, Spencer is on his way back to America, while the Duttons are still trying to keep their land out of the hands of evil businessmen.

In an interview with Esquire, Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer, said, “Tonally, it’s almost a different show entirely. I love that. It’s fun to tap into that energy, especially with a character who has so much darkness in him. Season 1 had to allude to it. Now we get the chance to let the cat out of the bag.”

So, here is everything we know about 1923 season 2.
