A new trailer for 1923 season 2 has been released. As Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone reaches the end of an era with its season 5 finale, which has largely been reported as a series finale, his prequel spinoff 1923 is gearing up for its return. With season 1 coming to a close back in early 2023, anticipation has only been rising for the next chapter in the Dutton family saga. 1923 season 2 will debut on Paramount+ in February 2025 and pick up with Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) as they prepare to fight for their home.
During the airing of the Yellowstone finale on Paramount Network, the franchise unveiled a new trailer for 1923 season 2. The minute-long clip reveals more than the two prior teasers, covering everything from Spencer Dutton’s (Brandon Sklenar) desperate journey home to the encroaching threat of Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton). Check it out below:
What This Trailer Means For 1923 Season 2
A Difficult Journey For Spencer, And A Bigger War
One of the primary plot threads of 1923 season 1 was Spencer’s prolonged journey home. The youngest Dutton son began the series in Africa, but Cara soon urged him to come home and help defend the family ranch from various enemies. By the end of 1923 season 1, Spencer was no closer to getting home, and the new season 2 trailer confirms his journey will be filled with several new obstacles. However, with the series confirmed to end with season 2, it seems likely Spencer’s arc will soon have some kind of resolution.
Spencer’s homecoming isn’t necessarily guaranteed, but what is certain is that the battle for the Dutton land will only get more intense from here. The new trailer reveals Whitfield ominously declaring he needs to build an army, suggesting he will soon amass even more allies who will pose a threat to the Dutton family. Whitfield’s words suggest the conflict will grow to be even bigger than a simple battle between two parties fighting for the same spot of land. As 1923 is a Yellowstone prequel, this could have far-reaching consequences that enhance the future stories within Sheridan’s TV universe.
Our Take On The 1923 Trailer
Could There Be Some Foreshadowing?
Though a relatively brief trailer, the new peek at 1923 promises more of what viewers have come to expect from the series. From Jacob and Cara standing united to several action-packed shots, it looks like the series will return with a bang. One moment I found particularly striking was Cara’s declaration that “This ranch will drive you to your death.” It’s likely she could be speaking to Jacob, which might be an unsettling form of foreshadowing. Since season 2 will be the end for 1923, anything can happen, even the death of Ford’s formidable patriarch.
