‘1923’ Season 2 Will End With Supersized Finale: Air Date, How to Watch & More Details
The final episode of the ‘Yellowstone’ prequel’s second season follows a killing spree in the penultimate hour.
Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 is barreling towards an epic finale.
The season two finale, titled “A Dream and A Memory,” follows a killing spree in the penultimate episode. That episode, titled “The Mountain Teeth of Monsters,” carried with it a body count of seven dead characters: One Dutton was tragically shot dead during an unsuspecting encounter; two villains were savagely and deservedly killed, leaving two other heartbreaking deaths in their wake; and the couple helping Alexandra Dutton (Julia Schlaepfer) during her harrowing journey to Montana froze to death, leaving Alex in her most perilous situation yet heading into the finale.
Here’s the logline for the season two finale: “Jacob [Harrison Ford] and his crew eagerly await Spencer’s [Brandon Sklenar] return at the train station. Teonna [Amina Nieves] has a fateful run in. Alexandra [Schlaepfer] braves the cold.”
Sklenar has said he’s always known how 1923 would end. “It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read in my life, truly,” he previously told The Hollywood Reporter of the season two finale. Paramount+ has not confirmed if season two will be the final season of 1923.
Read on to find out when the show’s finale will air and more.

Who Has Died in 1923 So Far?
On the show, several characters who died in Season 1 include Catherine Walsh, who was mauled to death by a leopard; John Dutton Sr., who was shot by Banner Creighton; Emma Dutton, who died by suicide off-screen; Brother Romero, who was shot by Hank Plenty Clouds; Hank Plenty Clouds, who was shot by Brother Cillian; and Brother Cillian, who was killed by Teonna Rainwater.
Season 2 of 1923 has seen the deaths of multiple characters, including five main cast members, all before the finale. Pete Plenty Clouds was one of the first to go, killed in a duel with Marshal Kent. Played by Jeremy Gauna Pete was originally portrayed by Cole Brings Plenty, who tragically passed away in real life.
Next was Jack Dutton, portrayed by Darren Mann. Jack, eager to ensure Spencer’s safe arrival, defied Jacob Dutton’s (Harrison Ford) orders and left the ranch. He was shot by two men posing as deputies, sent by Whitfield. His death leaves Elizabeth (Michelle Randolph) widowed and to raise their unborn child alone.
Other notable character deaths in 1923 include Runs His Horse (Michael Spears), Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché), Hillary (Janet Montgomery), and Paul (Augustus Prew).
Is a Season 3 of 1923 Happening?
Series star Brandon Sklenar told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024 that season 2 would be the show’s last. He described the show as “one piece — there’s just a split in the middle, but it’s all one piece. It will conclude.”
However, Paramount has yet to confirm whether or not Season 2 will be the final season.
