When will 1923 season 2 premiere?
Following the major cliffhanger events of season one, there’s finally a date set for the season 2 premiere of the Taylor Sheridan-created series.
The second season of 1923 will air on Sunday, February 23, 2025 on Paramount+ with new episodes dropping weekly. Additionally, Paramount Network has announced that it will host a special linear airing of 1923’s first season beginning on Sunday, December 8, right after a new episode of Yellowstone.
Who will star in the cast of 1923?
Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren will still be the leading actors! They play the tough-as-nails Jacob Dutton and Cara Dutton. We also know that Brandon Sklenar will return as Spencer, while Julia Schlaepfer will make her return as Alex. As far as new members go, there are some updates.
Jennifer Carpenter will be jumping onboard the Western series. If you recognize her name, then you’ve likely seen Carpenter in shows like Dexter and Limitless. She will be portraying Mamie Fossett, a character described to be a U.S. Deputy Marshall known for making the arrests in her town. Jerome Flynn, Darren Mann, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Michelle Randolph, Sebastian Roché, and Timothy Dalton will also star in the second season.
What will 1923 season 2 be about?
Along with a set date for the series’ return, Paramount+ also recently surprised fans with a first look at season 2. See below for two new teaser trailers that promise a lot more Dutton drama in our futures.
Given the major cliffhangers we were left with in season 1, we can expect 1923 season 2 to hopefully answer some of those questions. Will Alex be reunited with Spencer? And how will Jacob and Cara manage to save their family’s land? Only time will tell!
But here’s what we do know based on the teasers: In Season 2, a cruel winter brings plenty of new challenges to Jacob and Cara back at Dutton ranch. As they deal with adversaries threatening to end their legacy, Spencer (Sklenar) urgently sets out on a grueling journey home to Montana in an effort to save his family. As attacks on the Duttons grow, Alexandra (Schlaepfer) begins her own treacherous trans-Atlantic journey to reunite with Spencer and reclaim their love.

What happened to the Dutton ranch in 1923?
Alright, saddle up because you’re in for a wild ride.
Starting with the court debacle between Jacob Dutton and Banner (Jerome Flynn)—the latter was on trial for two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder—tipped to the sheriff by Jacob. But in the finale, Banner is acquitted of these charges and released without bail. Immediately after the trial concludes, Banner does what he does best: taunt the Duttons and even gives Jack a nice punch to the face. (It was the ’20s, so that must’ve been a celebration antic held up in court. 🤷♀️) Banner also threatened Jacob’s life for everyone to hear.
We later see Banner talking to Whitfield, seemingly plotting for violent revenge. However, his lawyer convinces him that financial ruin is a better plot. And this seems to work because Jacob and Cara—who face fiscal problems regarding their ranch—were denied a loan to pay off their debts. This enables Whitfield to take control. He ends up paying off the Dutton’s debt, giving the family until the year’s end to pay it back. If they fail to do so, well… they lose the ranch.
What happened to Spencer and Alex in 1923
Alex and Spencer’s journey was a bit tumultuous. We’ve been waiting (for what seems like forever) for them to make it to Montana. Spencer is essentially the Dutton ranch’s last hope, so the longevity of his trip back is somewhat frustrating. Alex and Spencer finally board a third, fancier ship to their destination, and all seems promising. But that’s until they run into Arthur, Alex’s jealous and spiteful ex-fiancé. Arthur and his family are passengers on the same boat—and are less than happy to see that Alex has moved on so quickly.
After days of tension and much hostility, Arthur drunkenly challenges Spencer to a sword duel. Though everyone is against this idea, the two eventually battle it out, with Spencer defeating Arthur a little too fast. Not sitting well with Arthur, he pulls out a gun and aims to shoot (possibly kill) Spencer. So, as an act of defense, Spencer throws Arthur off the boat—more than likely killing Arthur.
It’s now worth mentioning that Arthur’s family were royals back in London. (His father is the Earl of Sussex!) So this gave his family a full range of power on the boat, which they used to imprison Spencer. However, the boat’s captain agreed that Spencer acted in self-defense, freeing him of the charge. But Spencer is forcibly removed from the ship at the next port while Alex is trapped, inevitably keeping her on. The two scramble as they are separated, shouting one last emotional goodbye to each other, with Alex promising that she will find him.
