‘1923’: Brandon Sklenar & Julia Schlaepfer Break Down Tragic Finale (VIDEO)

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the 1923 Season 2 finale, “A Dream and a Memory.”]

Well, that happened. After grueling journeys home that stretched across the entire second season, Taylor Sheridan ended 1923 Season 2 (and presumably the series at large) with tragedy. Like the final season of Yellowstone before it, the western drama was riddled with shocking deaths for its characters in Season 2. The most shocking was saved for the very end. Here, Sklenar and Schlaepfer react to 1923‘s ending with TV Insider, revealing why they expected this conclusion to the Yellowstone origin story.

Spencer and Alex finally reunited about halfway through the nearly two-hour episode that dropped on Sunday, April 6 on Paramount+. They didn’t reunite at Spencer’s home in Montana as originally planned. Their reunion was more miraculous than that, but the miracles would end soon after.
