Alright partner, dust off your boots and get ready to head back to the ranch, because the Duttons are back! USA TODAY just dropped the deets on 1923 Season 2, and it's promising more family drama, treacherous weather, and enough grit to fill a whole damn canyon.
Duttons vs. Winter: Get Ready for a Cruel Ride
Winter is comin', folks, and it's bringin' a whole heap of trouble for the Dutton clan. According to the official synopsis, 1923 Season 2 is set to unleash a "cruel winter" upon Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren), who are already facing "new challenges and unfinished business." Sounds like someone's about to get frostbite... figuratively, and maybe literally!
“It's like they just can't catch a break, can they?" my co-worker sighed, dramatically fanning herself.
"Between the weather, the bad guys, and the family feuds, it's a wonder they're still standing!"
And it's not just the ol' homestead that's in trouble. That adventurous Dutton, Spencer (Brandon Sklenar), is on a frantic race back to Montana to save his kin from who-knows-what. The synopsis hints at an "arduous journey" – so expect some serious danger, folks.
Meanwhile, Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) is embarkin' on her own journey to reconnect with her man.
"Harrowing trans-Atlantic journey," huh? Sounds like smooth sailing is definitely NOT in her future.

Meet the Duttons: A Family Tree You'll Need a Map For
Confused about who's who in the Dutton family saga? Fear not, I've got you covered!
Jacob Dutton (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren): The patriarch and matriarch of this generation of Duttons.
They're the ancestors of John Dutton (Kevin Costner) from Yellowstone, with Jacob being the brother of James Dutton from 1883.
"It's like trying to keep track of the royal family," my mom grumbled. "Everyone's related to everyone, but no one gets along!"
The show is set in the early 20th century, when the Duttons are battlin' pandemics, droughts, and the end of Prohibition. Basically, it's a whole lotta struggle in the mountain west.
Sheridan Spills the Beans: Season 2 is "Really the Second Half"
Co-creator Taylor Sheridan revealed that Season 2 is basically the second half of the first season. He added he had no idea what direction the season would be taking when he first started working on it. Talk about a plot twist!
“This one is different than '1883' where I had the whole thing blocked out in my head," Sheridan told Deadline.
"This one, I had no idea what I was going to do. I just went on a journey myself."
Sheridan said he needed to "make more episodes to finish this story," meaning they had to make it a two part season. Talk about a cliff hanger!
