Following the success of the series 1923, fans have been wondering whether Paramount will move forward with a third season. The historical drama, which serves as a prequel to Yellowstone, has gained a massive audience, especially with the premiere of its second season.
The first episode of 1923 Season 2, titled “The Killing Season,” set a new record for the most-watched premiere of any original series on Paramount+. According to TV Insider, the episode attracted 5.4 million viewers on its first day, more than doubling the 2.2 million views that Season 1’s premiere received in December 2022.
The series also gained significant traction on social media, with engagement rising by 187%. Reports stated that the episode generated around 1.6 million views across different platforms, highlighting the show’s increasing popularity. The data, collected from Paramount+, Apple Channels, Roku Channels, and Amazon Channels, demonstrated that 1923 has built a strong fan base.
Set in Prohibition-era Montana, 1923 follows Jacob and Cara Dutton, played by Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, as they struggle to protect their family’s ranch and legacy.
Season 2 continues the intense journey of Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) and Alex (Julia Schlaepfer). After their tragic separation in Season 1 following the violent death of Spencer’s brother, John Dutton (James Badge Dale), the new season focuses on their attempts to reunite. While Spencer embarks on a dangerous journey back to Montana, Alex faces her own challenges, making their love story even more complicated. The harsh winter and rising tensions further threaten the future of the Dutton family.
Despite 1923’s growing fanbase and strong viewership numbers, hints from the cast suggest that Season 2 might be the final chapter of the series. Although fans are hoping for another season, there has been no official announcement from Paramount about a third installment.
For now, the future of 1923 remains uncertain, but with the show’s ongoing success, it wouldn’t be surprising if discussions about a potential Season 3 take place. Fans will have to wait for an official statement from Paramount to see whether the Duttons’ story will continue beyond Season 2.
