The first season of 1923 is over. There were eight episodes that kept people interested. The Yellowstone prequel, which came out in late 2022, has carved out its own niche by showing how one generation of the Dutton family struggled through the worst decade in recent history.
Yellowstone is already in its fifth season, but the show that came before it, 1883, was only on for one season. Fans are now wondering if 1923 will also follow this trend or if it will come back for another season. Find out by reading on.
Will 1923 Return with Season 2?
Yes, 1923 will definitely be back for a second season on Paramount+ because it has been renewed. In February 2023, not long before the end of the first season, the renewal was announced. The second season will have eight episodes, just like the first one.
The show was quickly renewed because of how many people watched it. Over 7.4 million people watched the first episode of the show, making it the most-watched premiere in the history of Paramount+. The number of viewers didn’t change much over the course of the season, which made the show a huge success for the streaming service.
As for when the second season might come out, it is likely to start sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. The first season of the show was shot starting in August 2022, and it premiered just three months later.
Now, some news stories say that the second season could come out as soon as spring 2023, which would put it in the second half of the year. But Paramount still needs to give the official word.
1923 Season 2 Expected Storyline
Even though there isn’t a plot summary for the second season yet, it’s likely that it will focus on Spencer and how the end of the first season affected him. The actor Brandon Sklenar said this about his character’s journey in the second season: “When we see him again, he’ll be a different Spencer, a different kind of guy.”
“Because he already feels a lot of guilt and shame from being in the war and not seeing his family for so long. He has already thought about all of that, and now he blames himself for what happened. Now that Arthur has died, he might never see Alex again. “He’s even farther away from his family now,” Sklenar said.
In season 2 of 1923, Robert Patrick will play Sheriff William McDowell, Jerome Flynn will play Banner Creighton, and Timothy Dalton will play Donald Whitfield. Aminah Nieves will play Teonna Rainwater. Catherine Walsh, Kagiso, Bob Strafford, John Dutton Sr., Sister Mary, and Emma Dutton all died in the first season, so the actors who played them won’t be back.
