In addition to Ford and Mirren, the series stars Brandon Sklenar (The Offer, Vice), Darren Mann (Giant Little Ones, Embattled), Julia Schlaepfer (The Politician, The Sky Is Everywhere), Jerome Flynn (Game of Thrones, Black Mirror), Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker, Flight), Michelle Randolph (The Throwback, The Resort), Aminah Nieves (Blueberry, Dogwood), Marley Shelton (Planet Terror, Death Proof), Caleb Martin (Unsheltered, Don’t Say My Name), James Badge Dale (The Departed, 13 Hours), and Isabel May (1883, I Want You Back).
The second half of 1923 season one will premiere on February 5, and the season finale will premiere on February 26 on Paramont+, according to ComicBook. The last released episode “War and the Turquoise Tide” left off with Spencer Dutton, played by Sklenar, as he comes to the realization that he needed to head home to Montana, and Jacob Dutton, played by Ford, was seriously injured leaving viewers to question his fate, via ComicBook. According to ComicBook, Sklenar shares that, “I can say that it’s not going to be a joyous homecoming, that’s for sure. I think Spencer’s coming in hot and he’s got a lot to handle when he gets home. And it’s not going to be an easy journey to get there.”
