What To Remember Before 1923 Season 2
At theend of1923season 1, the villainous Whitfield (Timothy Dalton) paid overdue property tax on the Dutton ranch. This puts the Duttons, fronted by Jacob (Ford) and Cara (Mirren), in a difficult position, becausethe ranch will become Whitfield’s possession if the Duttons cannot pay him back promptly.Although the centrality of the ranch will get its spotlight in the upcoming episodes, there are also lingering questions elsewhere that will have to be addressed.
Jennifer Carpenter will recur as Mamie Fossett, a highly-capable U.S. Deputy Marshall that’s ahead of her time, in season 2.
Several of those questions connect to thesupporting1923cast,such as Alice (Joy Osmanski) who is arrested for breaking a racist law. It’s a large ensemble that Montgomery and Carpenter will be added to, split between main, heavily recurring, and less-frequent guest actors. But on the bright side, it means that there will be no lag in the storytelling after an extended delay.
