91"The Killing Season"Ben RichardsonTaylor SheridanFebruary 23, 2025 (2025-02-23)
The Dutton ranch faces financial hardship, forcing them to sell their remaining herd. Before heading to Bozeman, Jacob scares off a cougar on their porch. He visits a speakeasy, where McDowell informs him that Zane and Alice remain separated and in jail. Still recovering from her miscarriage, Elizabeth heads outside but is confronted by the cougar, which Cara swiftly shoots dead. Having earned passage on a steamship bound for America, Spencer works alongside the young Italian, Luca. Spencer intervenes when another crew member rapes Luca and the ship's captain then executes the rapist. Spencer later talks Luca down after he prepares to commit suicide, and they work together to arrange fights between Spencer and other crewmates, earning them both money. Having returned to England, Alexandra remains heartbroken over being separated from Spencer. After revealing her pregnancy to Jennifer, she helps buy Alexandra a third-class ticket to America. Renaud and Kent continue hunting Teonna, and Kent ruthlessly kills several Comanche villagers as he grows impatient. Still on the run, Teonna asks Runs His Horse for permission to marry Pete, whom she later gets intimate with, until a lone cowboy stumbles across them and reveals they are in Texas.
102"The Rapist Is Winter"Ben RichardsonTaylor SheridanMarch 2, 2025 (2025-03-02)
Jacob secures the release of Zane and his family by blackmailing the local judge. He visits Zane but finds that he has been severely beaten in jail and can barely walk. On their journey back to the ranch, they become trapped in a blizzard and take shelter under their wagon. After discovering that a hungry and likely rabid wolf has slaughtered the ranch's chickens, it bites Elizabeth, and she is later forced to take a rabies vaccine against her will. Cara is awoken at night by the wolf breaking into the house and shoots it when it attacks her. Renaud and Kent continue their search for Teonna in Anadarko, Oklahoma, where the local marshal, Mamie Fossett, helps create illustrations of Teonna for wanted posters. The Comanche later retaliate at night, and Kent kills them, but finds that they are children. Spencer arrives in Galveston, Texas, where he meets the leader of a local crime syndicate, Salvatore Maceo. Despite Maceo's warm hospitality toward Spencer for saving Luca, he attacks Maceo's men after they prevent him from leaving. Maceo later allows Spencer to continue his journey, but must first help Luca smuggle illegal whiskey to Fort Worth.
113"Wrap Thee in Terror"Ben RichardsonTaylor SheridanMarch 9, 2025 (2025-03-09)
Alexandra arrives in New York City but is taken to Ellis Island along with the other third-class passengers to be processed. Claiming to be Spencer's wife, she is forced to go through an invasive medical examination and convinces an immigration officer to allow her entry, despite her pregnancy. Locals warn Alexandra of the dangers she may face traveling to Montana alone, and after reaching the Grand Central Terminal, a man begins stalking her. Runs His Horse meets Anders, a Texan cowboy, and agrees to work for him. Fossett is informed of the dead Comanche children and vows to bring Renaud and Kent to justice. Having survived the blizzard, Jacob and his group return to the ranch, where they are informed by their doctor that Zane is suffering from a subdural hematoma and that his condition is worsening. Elizabeth plans to leave the ranch for good once she has finished her rabies treatment and asks Jack to join her, but he declines. Spencer and Luca run into a roadblock of lawmen inspecting vehicles for contraband. While Spencer chooses to abandon the illegal whiskey they're transporting, Luca continues on his own and is quickly gunned down by the lawmen.

Alexandra is assaulted and robbed, but manages to make her train in time. Zane is given emergency brain surgery, relieving the pressure on his head and allowing him to walk again, and Jacob promises him they will get their revenge. Due to the immense pain she feels while taking her rabies vaccines, Elizabeth is discovered to once again be pregnant. Spencer is picked up by the sheriff of Fort Worth, who demands that Spencer continue delivering the whiskey so he can find the destination. After arriving in Fort Worth, the lawmen raid the bootlegger's warehouse while Spencer flees on foot and escapes onto a train.

Fossett finds Spencer and brings him to Amarillo when he reveals he is from Montana. She calls McDowell in Bozeman who confirms Spencer's identity, but he implores that Spencer not return home due to the escalating conflict between the Duttons and Creighton. Still seeking to avenge his brother's death, Spencer ignores McDowell's warning and boards a train bound for Livingston, Montana. Alexandra is forced to work as a waitress on board her train so she can eat. After she is sexually assaulted by one of the passengers, Alexandra viciously beats him and is locked in a temporary cell.

168
Fossett discovers the aftermath of Teonna's confrontation with Renaud and arrests her following a short standoff. Feeling sympathetic after learning of Teonna's past, Fossett doesn't charge her for Renaud or Kent's deaths. Teonna later goes to trial, but her case is dismissed due to a lack of witnesses. With no home or family to return to, she heads to California for a fresh start. Creighton has a personal crisis about working for Whitfield and flees with his family to the Livingston train station. Dozens of Creighton's men begin their assault on the Dutton ranch, intending to kill everyone, while Cara and Zane lead the defense. They manage to hold them off initially, but the men later return in greater numbers with an automatic firearm. Alexandra stays warm by creating a fire and uses it to signal a passing train. Spencer notices Alexandra from the window, jumps from the train, and they have a tearful reunion. After Alexandra is brought on board, she is treated for severe frostbite.
As the train reaches Livingston, a shootout occurs between Jacob and Creighton's men. When Spencer protects his family, Creighton saves Jacob by shooting his own men, but is killed by McDowell. In his dying moments, Creighton reconciles with Jacob. In the aftermath of the shootout, Jacob and McDowell are wounded, but Spencer is forced to leave Alexandra and rushes to the ranch, where he almost singlehandedly kills the remainder of Creighton's men. Jacob stays with Alexandra, and they are taken to the hospital, where Alexandra gives birth prematurely. Although born three months early, the baby survives, but Alexandra refuses to allow the doctors to amputate her limbs that are afflicted with gangrene. Spencer and Cara soon arrive, and Alexandra dies hours later in her sleep. Seeking vengeance, Jacob and Spencer confront Whitfield in his mansion. Hoping to make an example of him, Spencer executes Whitfield and sets his home ablaze. Jack's body is soon recovered, and both he and Alexandra are buried on the ranch. With no reason to stay, Elizabeth leaves for good. Spencer takes charge of the ranch while Jacob retires to help Cara raise Spencer and Alexandra's son, named John. In a flashforward to 1969, an elderly Spencer visits Alexandra's grave and dies peacefully.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

While writing the first season of 1923, Taylor Sheridan, the creator and showrunner, realized that the initial eight-episode order would not allow him to sufficiently conclude the story he had since developed. He contacted executives at Paramount+ and requested they order an additional set of eight episodes to give himself the room to wrap up the remaining arcs.[3] Production companies 101 Studios and MTV Entertainment Studios had approved the order by October 2022,[4] while Paramount officially announced the renewal in February 2023.[5][6] Yellowstone actor Mo Brings Plenty worked as the series' American Indian affairs coordinator.[7]

Casting

[edit]

Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren were both initially contracted for the first season.[3] Negotiations to extend their contracts were underway by October 2022.[4]

Following the unexpected death of Cole Brings Plenty[8] during the production hiatus, Sheridan decided it was necessary for the character he portrayed, Pete Plenty Clouds, to be recast. The role was given to Jeremy Gauna, a friend of both Cole Brings Plenty and his uncle Mo Brings Plenty, who appears in Yellowstone. Gauna had previously portrayed a Native American warrior in 1883 that was responsible for the death of Elsa in that serries. He also noted that taking on the role was particularly difficult for both himself and other cast and crew members, particularly Nieves who cried upon seeing him in costume for the first time; however, he ultimately believed it was his purpose.[9] Nieves elaborated in an interview, stating that she initially struggled with grief and resentment while filming occurred, but eventually overcame it.[10] The first episode featured an in memoriam tribute to Brings Plenty.[11]

Jennifer Carpenter was first contacted about taking on the role of Mamie Fossett via email which included a seven-page pitch. She sent in a self-tape and was later contacted to participate in a screen test located in Texas.[12]

Writing

[edit]

Sheridan wrote the entirety of the second season by himself.[13] Despite it not being billed or promoted as such, he considered the entire series to be one season, but split across two parts.[3] Contrary to season one, in which scripts were being written as the show was being recorded, Sheridan wrote all season two episodes prior to the start of filming.[14]

The story surrounding Nieves' character resumes with her character Teonna Rainwater as a fugitive following her escape from a Native American boarding school. Within both seasons, it was derived from the true story of such schools. During this time she is being pursued by Father Renaud, the headmaster of the school from which she escaped, and U.S. Marshal Kent, who function as antagonists for the arc. Renaud's continued interest with finding Rainwater was described by Roché as an obsession, which he believed to be a result of negative admiration. Themes of egoism, extremism, and religion, as well as the topics of cultural assimilation of Native Americans and Native American interracial relations were also explored throughout this storyline.[15] Rainwater's arc is the only one to exist outside of the series' overall premise and not interact with the Dutton family.[12]

A new aspects introduced to the plotline was that of Mamie Fossett's, who was also partially based on true events. There was a real-life marshal of the same name, who worked in Anadarko, Oklahoma during a time period in which female law enforcement officials were uncommon. Carpenter attempted to do research into the true story of Fossett, but faced difficulty after finding not much had been written about her life.[16] Although Carpenter's character narrative has her primarily interact with Rainwater's, Fossett briefly meets with Spencer Dutton when he was questioned by her as a suspect.[17] Another portion continues to explore the development of a romantic relationship between her and Pete.[7] Nieves noted that Cole Brings Plenty was excited for that particular aspect despite them viewing each other more as siblings rather than romantic partners.[10]

Within the season's penultimate episode, Sheridan killed off seven different characters. Although Kent was ultimately killed by Roché, he merely believed the action to be consequentialism rather than having second thoughts.[15] Mann said that he felt the result of his character's death was because Jack was too naïve.[14]

Production design

[edit]

A period-appropriate set for Grand Central Station was built on a soundstage. Designers specifically took note to include replicas of lighting fixtures that existed in the terminal at the time.[19]

Filming

[edit]

In November 2022 production crews began seeking a contract extension for continued use of the Butte Civic Center throughout 2023, where primary production in Montana had been based during the first season, as well as an on-site annex building used for storage. The civic center's board issued a recommendation to county commissioners that they issue an extension, but required that the center be vacated by crews between January 15 and June 1 for previously scheduled school sporting and graduation events. Silver Bow County commissioners then approved the request later that month, allowing use of the annex for the entire calendar year, and use of the main building from June 2 through December 31. The consolidated city-county received $75,000 from the production company for use of the two buildings.[20][21][22]

Principal photography was initially set to begin in Butte on June 5, 2023,[23] however, by June 1, the civic center's manager had not heard from the production company.[24] A week later they were then informed that production had been delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike. Production crews were unsure when filming would start, but requested a further ten-day extension on their contracted, requesting use of the building through January 10, 2024.[25] As the strike continued into July, and expanded with the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, the production company asked that they instead be released from the contract by the end of August.[26][27] The lease cancellation was approved on July 19, with the production company paying a $200,000, which the civic center used to replace mobile bleacher that were damaged during season one production. Crews also stated that they hoped to return to Butte once the strikes concluded, but were unsure of the feasibility due to changes in tax incentives.[28]

Once the strikes ended, production teams were seen at Hennessy Mansion in Butte in December 2023. Crew members indicated that despite not utilizing the civic center, filming would soon begin in the city; officials however, stated that no film permits had been issued,[29] and later reports also stated that principal photography would instead relocate to Austin, Texas, where tax credits had been recently expanded.[30] Ultimately, filming took place in both states, with primary production based in Austin at ATX Film Studios,[31] and location filming occurring in Montana.[32] Recording kicked off in Austin on July 8, 2024, and was anticipated to continue there until September. Other Texas film locations included Galveston and Lockhart, as well as Bartlett in August, the latter of which was made up to appear as Fort Worth and Amarillo, Texas, as well as Anadarko, Oklahoma.[33][34][35][36]

Roché and Spears filmed the scenes where their characters were killed on a sound stage, with recording for both deaths occurring on the same day. Rather than using computer-generated imagery, the makeup department affixed a remote-controlled light to Roché's face so that it could light up when Rainwater burns Renaud. Similarly, Roché also wore protective body pads when his character was stabbed repeatedly, which allowed the violence to appear more realistic. He said he had mixed emotions filming this scene, because was violent, he felt it was well-composed.[15] Carpenter's scenes were also primarily filmed in Texas. She reached out to Ralph Zito, a former mentor from Julliard School, to help her find the proper vocal range for Fossett. Carpenter's ultimate goal was to use her lower register. She stated that the extreme heat there assisted her in this aspect, but made filming both interior and exterior scenes uncomfortable. Frequent lightening in Texas also caused weather-related delays in thirty-minute increments every time a strike was witnessed.[12] On September 16, production moved to San Antonio,[37] part of which was dressed to appear as Ellis Island.[19] It remained there until September 27, at which time all filming in Texas had concluded.[38]

Filming crews then moved to Montana in October.[39] Mann's death scene was recorded in Montana, he stated that he felt self-conscious while filming this scene because he was concerned with properly honoring his character. It was reported that he received applause from cast and crew members afterwards. Despite this being his final on-screen appearance, Mann later recorded additional pick-up shots with Ford.[14] Recording there occurred in Butte, Hamilton, and Milltown.[40] Some filming continued in Butte through November before wrapping.[41] The entire second season was directed by Ben Richardson.[13] Sheridan was never on set while the season was recorded due to other commitments. Instead, Richardson was tasked with overseeing the script-to-screen duties.[42]

Impact

[edit]

While the first season had a generally positive economic impact in Butte, local citizens, actors, and business owners, criticized the Montana state legislature for not continuing film tax credits to remain as the primary production location.[45][46] It was estimated that production would invest over $51 million into the Austin's economy upon its move there.[47] The Austin City Council approved an incentive on the predicted $15 that would be paid in wages to residents of Greater Austin, if employees were hired locally. Additionally, it was believed that hotels and businesses would benefit as well.[48][49] In the Greater Houston area, the program was one of tow major productions, the other being season two of the Netflix series Mo, that was attributed to a 138% economic increase from 2023 to 2024, with a reported $27 million spent there.[50] Despite primary relocation, filming that did occur in Montana was still thought to have boosted the economy by "millions of dollars" through further local hires.[39][40]
