1923 Season 2 Is Shorter Than Season 1: How Many Episodes Of Yellowstone’s Prequel Are Left

1923 season 2 is shorter than season 1 and will end sooner than audiences might expect. 1923 season 2 continues Taylor Sheridan’s epic Yellowstone prequel about the Dutton family in the Prohibition era. In 1923 season 2, Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) endure a brutal Montana winter awaiting the arrival of Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) to save the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch from the machinations of Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton).

1923 season 1 consisted of 8 episodes that introduced the early 20th-century Dutton clan and their fearsome rivals. 1923 season 1 ended with Donald Whitfeld threatening financial control of the ranch and an all-out war with Jacob and his Yellowstone cowboys. Spencer began his journey home to Montana to save his family, but he was separated from his new bride, Alexandra of Sussex (Julia Schlaepfer). 1923 season 2 has largely focused on Spencer and Alex’s separate ordeals to get to Montana, which is gripped in a brutal winter.

Although audiences might have expected 1923 season 2 to consist of 8 episodes like season 1, 1923 season 2 is only 7 episodes long. This was noted in Paramount+’s official website page about 1923 season 2, although it’s a detail that was easily missed. Check out the confirmation of 1923 season 2’s episode length below:

You can watch and stream all seasons of 1923 on Paramount+. The show debuted on Dec. 18, 2022. The first season features eight episodes. Season 2 will feature seven episodes.

What To Expect For The End Of 1923 Season 2
The Yellowstone Prequel Concludes With 1923 Season 2 Episode 7

1923 season 2 didn’t unfold the way audiences predicted. 1923 season 1’s ending set up an all-out war for the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch when Spencer Dutton arrives home. However, 1923 season 2 has centered on Spencer and Alex’s arduous dual journeys across the United States to reunite in Montana. As of the end of 1923 season 2, episode 5, neither Spencer nor Alex have made it to Paradise Valley, although the Duttons will soon be aware their prodigal son is coming home to lead their fight against Donald Whitfield.

Teonna Rainwaiter (Aminah Nieves) has been hunted in Texas by Father Renault (Sebastian Roche) and Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane) in a storyline seemingly unrelated to the Duttons’ struggles in Montana. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Strafford (Michelle Randolph) learned she and Jack Dutton (Darren Mann) are pregnant. With only two episodes to go, the pieces are falling into place for 1923 season 2’s endgame, which will hopefully feature Spencer and Alex’s reunion, as well as the resolution to the war for the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
