Warning! SPOILERS For 1923 Season 2, Episode 6, “The Mountain Teeth Of Monsters”
I think I know what Taylor Sheridan’s nextYellowstoneprequel could be about after1923season 2. Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton’s (Helen Mirren) family face a grave loss whenJack Dutton (Darren Mann) diesin1923season 2, episode 6. Jack meets an ill fate as the Dutton family’s range war breaks out, with Banner Creighton’s (Jerome Flynn) men killing a key member of Jacob’s family. Abandoning orders to guard his aunt, Jack’s impulsive actions contributed to the list ofhorrible things that happened to Elizabeth Strafford(Michelle Randolph).
Meanwhile, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) is almost home, just a train ride away from Bozeman and the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. It’s been enthralling to watch Spencer make it back to Montana. The same is true for Spencer’s wife, and she’s been amazing to watch despite theworst things happening to Alexandra Dutton(Julia Schlaepfer). If the couple reunites in the finale, it will be a joyous and memorable conclusion.The reunion could also set up the events of1944,Sheridan’s teased Dutton prequel, especially in the fallout of Jack Dutton’s death, which leaves Liz a widow.
Taylor Sheridan’s 1944 Yellowstone Prequel Could Be About Young John Dutton
1944 Could Be About John Dutton II
1944is the next Dutton family prequel teased by Taylor Sheridan. The story would presumably follow the next generation of the Dutton family, conveniently picking up 20 years after1923ended.Elizabeth Strafford and Alexandra Dutton are both pregnantas1923season 2’s finalenears. If both mothers have their children, their offspring will be about 20 years old in1944.That would make the next generation the perfect age to anchor theYellowstonestory. Considering Jack’s fate will massively impact his wife and family, the next story could be about how that plays out down the road.
Elizabeth might return to Boston, eventually sending her son to live on his family’s ranch as he becomes an adult.
There’s been a lot of talk about whether John Dutton III’s (Kevin Costner) father, John Dutton II (Dabney Coleman), is Jack or Spencer’s son. While Jack’s death could have madeSpencer John Dutton III’s grandfather, perhaps there’s another explanation, and John Dutton II could still be Elizabeth and Jack’s son. After the family’s range war, Elizabeth might return to Boston, eventually sending her son to live on his family’s ranch as he becomes an adult. Therefore,1944could be about John Dutton II making his way home to the Yellowstone, where he would have grown up without his father’s death.
Would 1923 Actors Reprise Their Roles In Taylor Sheridan’s 1944 Yellowstone Prequel?
Brandon Sklenar Could Feature In 1944
While Taylor Sheridan’s1944prequel is likely about the1923characters after the Prohibition era and the Great Depression, it’s unlikely the actors will reprise their roles as Spencer, Alexandra, and Elizabeth, respectively. Taking place 20 years in the future,1944would likely recast the rolesto adequately portray the time that had passed, better positioning the characters and story in time. That means, since Taylor Sheridan previously said1923would only have two seasons,1923season 2 could be the last we see ofAlex and Spencer’s love storyfrom Julia Schlaepfer and Brandon Sklenar.
Yellowstone’s Most Exciting New Spinoff Is The One With The Smallest Connection To The Main Show
The flagship Yellowstone series may be over, but there are a slew of spinoffs on the way, and one is more exciting than any of the others coming out.
However, the1923characters could still feature in1944.Flashbacks to the family’s earlier memories are a significant part of the neo-Western franchise, helping to fill out the details of John Dutton’s family inYellowstoneand James Dutton’s (Tim McGraw)1883family.1944could similarly feature flashbacks to1923’s characters, featuring actors like Sklenar to paint a complete picture of what happened at the Dutton Ranch over the previous two decades. That way, we could get the sense of a new era for the Dutton family while still enjoying the brilliant performances from1923’s actors, particularly Spencer, Alex, and Elizabeth.
