Well, "1923’s" season on the 2025 TV schedule started with a bang and a big reveal. In terms of the big reveal, I’m referring to the fact that Alex, Spencer Dutton’s wife, is pregnant and she’s “running out of time” to get to America and back to him. Obviously, this is a big deal for the show generally. However, it also has the potential to impact the entire Dutton family tree. So, with that in mind, I asked the actress behind Alex, Julia Schlaepfer, about the theories surrounding the "Yellowstone" characters’ ancestors and how her character plays into it.
All the connections between the various "Yellowstone" shows fascinate me to no end. I’m particularly intrigued by the connections between "1923" and the modern "Yellowstone" Duttons, who were led by Kevin Costner’s John. At the moment, we don’t know whether Jack or Spencer is the grandfather of John III and the great-grandfather of Beth, Kayce, Lee and Jamie. However, the development that Alex is pregnant certainly puts some exclamation points behind the question mark.
