Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton on 1923 (the Yellowstone prequel on Paramount+), has been hinting that the Season 2 finale is going to be really emotional. When he spoke at a recent TV panel, he said the ending “hits very, very hard,” and honestly, that got a lot of fans talking and kind of nervous too. He didn’t spill any big spoilers, but you can tell from how he talks about it — it’s not going to be an easy or happy goodbye. If you’ve been following Spencer’s story through all the ups and downs, you might want to have some tissues ready when the last episode airs.
The Emotional Weight Behind the Finale
Sklenar said that the finale hit him pretty deeply as an actor. He described the ending as “very heavy” and something that sticks with you long after watching. It’s not just about big action scenes or surprises; it’s about real heartbreak, sacrifices, and emotions that feel very raw and honest. From what he said, this finale focuses on wrapping up the story in a way that feels true to the characters, giving emotional closure even if there are still some shocking moments — which, if you know the showrunner Taylor Sheridan, you kind of expect.
Spencer Dutton’s Journey So Far
Spencer Dutton has been a key character since Season 1. He’s this tough, haunted war vet who left Africa to come back home and try to find his place in the Dutton family. Along the way, he’s faced some serious dangers, painful separations, and a lot of soul-searching. Season 2 has dug even deeper into what Spencer’s willing to do for his family and love, and it seems like his story is about to come full circle in a big way — probably with some serious consequences, too.
Why 1923 Matters in the Yellowstone World
1923 takes us back way before the Yellowstone series, focusing on the earlier generation of Duttons working hard to protect their ranch in Montana. The show deals with a lot — war, Prohibition, tough economic times, and the wild changes happening in America back then. With strong performances from Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, it adds a lot of history and emotion to the Yellowstone universe. It’s not just a prequel, really — it’s about survival, loyalty, and what families give up for each other.
