Like all the shows revolving around the sprawling Dutton family tree, 1923 was critically acclaimed. The series premiere even broke the record for a Paramount+ debut, drawing 7.4 million viewers. Taking Sheridan’s franchise down an even more grim storyline than what had come before, 1923 season 1 ended with tragedy, loss, and the possibility that the Duttons would lose their ranch within the year. This set the stage for an explosive conclusion in season 2, and 1923‘s final outing did not disappoint.

The first teaser is narrated by Spencer as he discusses his need to return home to help his family, while the second is narrated by Jacob, who mentions that his family’s way of life is under attack.
After the first teasers offered a brief glimpse at 1923 season 2, Paramount+ dropped an even longer trailer in December 2024. Covering a lot of the same ground as before, the latest teaser highlights the violence that is erupting over the Dutton ranch. Whitfield’s crusade for money involves several unsavory deeds which cause even Banner Creighton to second guess his new boss’ motivations. Finally, Spencer Dutton seemingly makes it back to the US to help his family fight off the invaders.
