Brandon Sklenar confirms Yellowstone prequel 1923 will end with season 2, as the show was intended as a limited run.
1923, a prequel to the hit television show Yellowstone, is set to conclude after its second season. The show tells the story of the Dutton family a century before the events of Yellowstone, with a focus on the new generation of Duttons led by patriarch Jacob and matriarch Cara. The series takes place during a tumultuous time in American history, including periods of Western expansion, pandemics, drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression. These events test the resilience of the Duttons as they navigate their lives in the mountain west.
Initially intended as a limited series comprising only two seasons, 1923 had been rumored to be potentially extended or rebooted beyond its initial run. However, Brandon Sklenar, the actor who portrays Spencer Dutton, has confirmed that the Yellowstone prequel will conclude with the end of its second season. During a recent cast panel with The Hollywood Reporter, Sklenar was asked about the possibility of future seasons of the show, to which he replied that “it’s bookend,” indicating that the show’s ending was planned from the beginning.
“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.”
1923 boasts an impressive cast of talented actors, including Darren Mann, Michelle Randolph, James Badge Dale, Marley Shelton, Brian Geraghty, Aminah Nieves, Julia Schlaepfer, Jerome Flynn, Jennifer Ehle, Robert Patrick, Sebastian Roché, and Timothy Dalton. Notably, the show also features Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in leading roles. The series was created by Taylor Sheridan, who is also the creator of the highly acclaimed series Yellowstone
