Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer discuss their epic 1923 love story

Season two of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone origin series, 1923, is set to premiere on February 23 on Paramount+, allowing fans to continue witnessing the intriguing love story between Spencer Dutton and Alexandra, portrayed by Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer. Despite facing numerous obstacles, the characters never waver in their deep love for each other. This season, Spencer and Alexandra will navigate new challenges in their individual journeys as they strive to reunite in the face of overwhelming hardships.

I recently had the opportunity to chat with these talented actors about what makes their on-screen chemistry so compelling for viewers of 1923. According to Schlaepfer, the rarity of a genuine, electric connection between two people is what resonates with audiences. She emphasized that the characters’ bold decision to pursue their love is a refreshing departure from the disconnect often seen in today’s technology-driven world.

Filming in remote locations like Africa brought Sklenar and Schlaepfer closer together, forming a bond that enhanced their performances. Sklenar praised the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, for capturing the essence of an inexplicable, magnetic love that transcends logic, a sentiment echoed by Schlaepfer.

In season two of 1923, Spencer and Alexandra will face the threat of losing their home to dangerous individuals, driving the need to bring them to the Dutton family’s Montana ranch, where the story unfolds. Sklenar admires Spencer’s selfless and noble nature, while Schlaepfer finds Alexandra’s resilience and determination in the face of adversity truly inspiring.

As the new season of 1923 approaches, fans can look forward to witnessing the continued evolution of Spencer and Alexandra’s captivating love story, portrayed with authenticity and passion by Sklenar and Schlaepfer.
