Paramount+ eagerly debuted Season 2 of *1923* on February 23, seamlessly continuing from the breathtaking cliffhanger that left fans anxious about the futures of Spencer and Alex. Viewers are on the edge of their seats, wondering what dramatic developments lie ahead for this beloved couple. Julia Schlaepfer, who plays Alex, has offered intriguing insights into the upcoming season.
The season 1 finale was a whirlwind of tragedy, showcasing the Dutton family’s ongoing struggles. Zane, the steadfast foreman, suffers a brutal beating at the hands of law enforcement, while his wife, Alice, faces arrest due to outdated miscegenation laws. The family receives yet another harrowing blow when Whitfield reveals he has settled their property taxes and presents them with a harsh ultimatum: pay him back by year’s end, or their land will be seized.
Moreover, emotional turmoil touches two pivotal couples: Jack and Elizabeth, along with Alex and Spencer. After a devastating miscarriage, Elizabeth grapples with heartbreak, while Alex and Spencer are torn apart onboard the SS Majestic. Following a tense duel with Arthur—Alex’s former fiancé and the Earl’s son—Spencer is forced to disembark at the nearest harbor. Complicating matters, Alex learns that she cannot disembark until the ship reaches London, under her parents’ strict orders.
With Spencer and Alex’s fate hanging in the balance, Schlaepfer shared insights about what lies ahead for their story during a recent interview with *The Mary Sue*.
Julia Schlaepfer Teases “Really, Really Juicy” Twists for All Characters
Reflecting on her excitement to delve into the script for Season 2, Schlaepfer expressed her delight in revealing the unfolding mysteries. She emphasized, “It was so exciting, ” adding that this new season promises to surpass viewers’ expectations.“What Taylor has written is so special, and everyone gets something really, really juicy to work with this season, ” she confirmed.
To fuel the anticipation, Schlaepfer noted that her role has evolved significantly, stating it’s “very different from season 1.” Despite the added challenges, she finds the journey rewarding as an actress. But what about Alex and Spencer’s reunion?
“She Starts Off on Her Own Journey” – Major Character Development for Alex
While fans are eager for Alex and Spencer to reunite, Season 2 initiates their narratives on divergent paths before their inevitable convergence. Schlaepfer recounted how she often argued with creator Sheridan during season 1, insisting that Alex is a character who “doesn’t need to be saved.” It appears that her perspective has finally resonated with Sheridan.
According to Schlaepfer, “I think Taylor understood my desire for Alex to embark on her own journey and to explore her courage as she navigates life independently. This season unveils a new facet of her character… she cannot afford to be as excitable and must learn to stand on her own.”
As a result, Alex is set for a transformative arc, reflecting the series’ bold new direction. With the flagship *Yellowstone* series concluded, all eyes are on Season 2 of *1923* to uphold its legacy. Schlaepfer described it as “a special world to be a part of, ” and she hopes that the upcoming twists will keep fans invested in the unfolding story.
