1923’s second season is setting up a bloody conflict for the Yellowstone ranch, but the show’s first episode already revealed one survivor.
The first episode of 1923 already revealed which main character will live to the end. 1923 is a show that shouldn’t exist, as it was originally intended to be the second season of Yellowstone prequel 1883. Some confusion among executives at Paramount led them to greenlight 1883 season 2 – seemingly unaware that most of the cast were dead by the finale. Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan isn’t one to waste a healthy budget though, so he set to work on the next big chapter in the Dutton clan’s bloody history.
1923 certainly attracted an impressive cast, with Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford being the main draws. Season 1 set the table for the Duttons’ fight to hold onto their ranch while outside interests try to seize it, and the upcoming 1923 season 2 should see them start to turn the tide. There’s a big question mark over which of the Dutton family will survive, but viewers paying attention to the narration that opened the first episode will already know one key figure will walk away.
