Brian Geraghty, whose character Zane surprisingly survived brain surgery this season, told The Hollywood Reporter, “We’re all on this journey, and then we’ll all meet up at the end. Some of the closure some people may not like, and other people will be satisfied in the broad strokes.”
Julia Schlaepfer told THR that the finale is “really, really beautiful,” and that Sheridan has “written something special.”
What’s Been Happening This Season?
A lot has been happening in the bloody historical drama. The penultimate episode of 1923 shocked fans with the deaths of multiple characters, both heroic and villainous. Jack Dutton was murdered by men working for Banner Creighton. While searching for Teonna Rainwater, U.S. Marshal Kent shot and killed her lover, Pete Plenty Clouds, along with several other Native Americans.
The Marshal showed no remorse for all the death he and his men caused, and his callousness shocked Father Renaud. In response to Marshal Kent’s cruelty, Father Renaud killed him. Renaud also killed Runs His Horse, Teonna’s father, but she managed to fight back and take the life of the priest who’d been chasing her for so long.
Meanwhile, the pregnant Alexandra was left in a perilous position after traveling all night in freezing conditions. With her traveling companions, Hilary (Janet Montgomery) and Paul (Augustus Prew) dead of hypothermia, will she be united with her love, Spencer Dutton?
Speaking of Spencer, the last time we saw him, he was on his way home to Montana, but Donald Whitfield has his sights set on killing the heir to the Dutton ranch.

Though 1923 was originally announced as a two-season story, Sklenar has suggested that the story may continue. “They haven’t confirmed if it’s stopping here at season two,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “This story is going to continue one way or another […] There’s more Dutton story to be told for sure.”
Paramount has not yet announced whether 1923 will return for a third season, and Schlaepfer has also teased the willingness of the cast to continue. “I know for a fact that every actor on the show would die to come back for another round because we loved it so much,” she told THR. So this may, or may not, be the end.
