Season 2 of 1923 has had us on the edge of our seats. For the past several weeks, the Yellowstone prequel series has featured multiple thrilling storylines surrounding the Dutton family, with each arc leading up to a tense finale.

At the end of episode 6, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) is getting closer and closer to home, but there’s no telling what he’ll find when he finally arrives in Montana. Although his uncle Jacob (Harrison Ford) and the rest of the Dutton men plan to get Spencer back safely, Banner’s men are eager to cut them down one by one. They’ve managed to take out Jack. If there wasn’t already the threat of an all-out war on the horizon, Jack’s death makes it a sure thing.

Meanwhile, Alex (Julia Schlaepfer) is on a long, arduous journey to Montana. She managed to hitch a ride with a British couple she met on the train, but tragedy struck once their car ran out of fuel and the group became stuck in a deadly snow storm. Now Alex is pregnant and alone, miles away from her family, with no idea how far away civilization is.

And then there’s Teonna (Aminah Nieves), who continues to show her resilience despite everything she’s gone through in season 2, including the brutal death of her father. Much like Alex, Teonna is alone, and unsure where to go next.

While this chapter of the Duttons’ history is riveting on its own, there’s still a number of unanswered questions that could keep the story going. How does the family make their way to the ranch we later see in Yellowstone? And when will Spencer and Alex finally get their long-awaited reunion?

Here’s what we know about the possible future of 1923.

Will 1923 be renewed for season 3?

With the success of Taylor Sheridan’s other shows, it would be no surprise if Paramount+ ordered another season of 1923. All signs, however, point to season 2 closing out this chapter in the Dutton saga.

In a Q&A with The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, Brandon Sklenar described season 2 as the “bookend” of the 1923 story. “It’s still limited, but I think of it as one piece — there’s just a split in the middle, but it’s all one piece. It will conclude,” he said.

And in an interview with Deadline in 2022, Sheridan said after shooting the first season, he laid out the overall scope of the show to Paramount. “I need to do this in two blocks,” he told the publication. “An eight episode block and a second eight episode block to wrap this up.”

While that likely concludes the 1923 story, that doesn’t mean it’s the last we’ll see of these Duttons.

Alongside the announcement of the final Yellowstone episodes back in 2023, Paramount also announced a new spin-off titled 1944, Deadline reported. As for which characters the new show could include, that’s still up in the air. At the beginning of 1923, Elsa Dutton (Isabel May)–featured in 1883 and serving as 1923’s narrator–makes it clear that “My father had three children. Only one would live to see their own children grown.” That could mean there’s more death to come in 1923. Could 1944 follow whoever is left standing?

Regardless of how1923’s season 2 finale shakes out, there’s more of the Duttons coming, no matter what.
