Will Spencer & Alex Lead ‘1944’? All the Hints They Will

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for 1923 Season 2.]

Elsa Dutton’s (Isabel May) narrations in the very first episode of 1923 warned that only one of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton’s (Faith Hill) children would live to carry on the Dutton legacy into the future. Given that John Dutton I (James Badge Dale) died in 1923 Season 1 and Elsa died at the end of 1883, Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) is clearly that child. But this narration may also hint that Spencer is going to be the main character of 1944, the next supposed Yellowstone spinoff. It’s been a while since there have been any updates about that previously announced prequel (and no cast or characters or plot have been announced), but it’s reportedly still on the table. There are some other subtle details that make us think Spencer’s great love, Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer), will lead 1944 alongside him, should the show ever come to pass.
