Fans of Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 are in for a wild ride as Julia Schlaepfer teases major drama ahead for her character, Alex, in the hit show’s second season. The actress just dropped a bombshell in an exclusive interview, revealing that Alex’s desperate race to the Dutton ranch will take center stage—and nothing will stand in her way.
“Alex is done waiting,” Schlaepfer told Variety with a sly grin. “Season 2 is all about survival, secrets, and finally getting to that ranch. But trust me, the journey there? It’s going to blow people’s minds.” The Yellowstone prequel left viewers on the edge of their seats last season with Alex and Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) battling storms, betrayal, and their own demons while trying to return to Montana. Now, Schlaepfer hints that their struggle is far from over.
“Alex isn’t just fighting for herself anymore—she’s fighting for a future,” the actress added. “But the Dutton ranch isn’t some safe haven. It’s a battlefield, and she knows it.” Rumors suggest the new season will dive deeper into the Dutton family’s violent past, with Alex’s arrival sparking explosive conflicts that could change the ranch forever.
Since its debut, 1923 has dominated streaming charts, thanks to its gritty storytelling and knockout performances. Schlaepfer’s Alex, a fearless British woman tangled in a love story with Spencer, quickly became a fan favorite. But Season 2 might test her limits. “She’s tougher than anyone realizes,” Schlaepfer said. “But the cost of reaching the Duttons? It’s going to leave scars.”
With production underway and a late 2024 release rumored, fans are already theorizing: Will Alex and Spencer make it to the ranch alive? Or will the Dutton curse strike again? One thing’s certain—Schlaepfer’s warning has us counting the days.
