Spoiler alert: This story contains information about the first three episodes of Season 2 of “1923.”
The Duttons are all over the place, and not just physically, in Season 2 of “Yellowstone” prequel “1923”.
The harsh weather along with external and internal threats present new challenges for the ancestors of the Duttons from “Yellowstone,” Cara and Jacob Dutton (Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford). While Cara managed to ward off a deadly intruder, it wasn’t without incident with one dead and Elizabeth Dutton (Michelle Randolph) getting painful preventive injections for rabies due to the rabid wolf encounter. Jacob manages to return from Bozeman safely despite a blizzard, but with an injured Zane (Brian Geraghty), who needs a surgery to remove excessive liquid buildup in his skull.
On the other hand, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) is still on the road in Texas and has not yet arrived back at the ranch. His wife Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), meanwhile, has arrived in America and after harrowing experience with immigration at Ellis Island, she appears to be on her way to Billings from New York. Whether she makes it safely remains to be seen.
“With harsh conditions and adversaries threatening to end the Dutton legacy, Spencer embarks on an arduous journey home, racing against time to save his family in Montana,” the series synopsis says. “Meanwhile, Alexandra sets off on her own harrowing trans-Atlantic journey to find Spencer and reclaim their love.”
“1923” is the second “Yellowstone” prequel, following the events of the limited series “1883” (released in 2021) and before the current day “Yellowstone.” Part 2 of Season 5 of “Yellowstone” dropped on streaming Sunday and the entire series is now available to stream on Peacock.
Here’s what to know about Season 2, including which generation of Duttons you’ll see, the full cast and how to watch new episodes.
