1923's second season is setting the stage for a bloody conflict at the Yellowstone ranch. However, even in the first episode, there was a revelation that one main character will survive until the end. The creation of 1923 was actually an unintended consequence of a mix-up among Paramount executives, who greenlit a second season of Yellowstone's prequel, 1883, without realizing that most of the cast would be dead by the finale. But Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan seized this opportunity and embarked on the next thrilling chapter in the Dutton family's violent history.

The allure of 1923 lies in its impressive cast, including the likes of Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.

Season 1 laid the foundation for the Duttons' fight to retain ownership of their ranch against external forces seeking to seize it. As the upcoming second season of 1923 approaches, viewers are left wondering which members of the Dutton family will survive the impending conflict. However, astute viewers who paid attention to the narration in the first episode already know that one key figure will walk away.

Narrated by Elsa Dutton, portrayed by Isabel May, 1923 delves into the story of a character who tragically met her demise during the finale of 1883. The show's premiere episode sees Elsa reflect on how violence has always been intertwined with the Dutton family's legacy while introducing the main characters.

Furthermore, Elsa discloses the tragic deaths of her parents, James and Margaret, and how her uncle Jacob (played by Ford) assumed the responsibility of raising her surviving brothers, John and Spencer. Elsa also alludes to the fact that only one of James' three children would survive to witness the family's journey through the Great Depression and "every other Hell the 20th Century hurled at them." Notably, this surviving child is revealed to be Spencer (portrayed by Brandon Sklenar), the war hero turned game hunter who spends the first season attempting to return to America and assist his family. Consequently, it can be deduced that Spencer will persist until the end of 1923 and that the children Elsa mentioned in her narration will stem from his new marriage to Alexandria (played by Julia Schlaepfer).

While 1923 is set to span two seasons, another spinoff of Yellowstone called 1944 has already been confirmed. Details about 1944, such as its cast, remain scarce and will likely only emerge once the second season of 1923 concludes. Given Spencer's presumed survival, it is conceivable that he will assume leadership of the ranch. Considering the timeframe in which 1944 is set, it may explore the impact of World War II on the country, with the possibility of one of Spencer's children experiencing the war, much like their father did.

In summary, the second season of 1923 promises a gripping clash at the Yellowstone ranch, but viewers who paid attention to the show's first episode were clued into one character's survival. With a stellar cast and intriguing storylines, 1923 captivates audiences as it delves into the relentless struggle of the Dutton family. As the series progresses, it becomes clear that Spencer Dutton will emerge as a key survivor, potentially leading the way into the upcoming spinoff, 1944. The future of the Dutton clan hangs in the balance, and viewers eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama that will shape the course of their lives.
