Yellowstone: Confirming Spencer Dutton’s 1944 Spinoff Before Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount Exit
Yellowstone Needs To Confirm Spencer Dutton’s 1944 Spinoff Before Taylor Sheridan Leaves Paramount
Before Taylor Sheridan exits Paramount, he must confirm another rumored Yellowstone spinoff, 1944, and bring back Brandon Sklenar as Spencer Dutton, the fan favorite hero of 1923.
1923 streamed for two seasons on Paramount+, with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren headlining the prequel as Jacob and Cara Dutton. However, the rugged and heroic Spencer Dutton carried 1923′s action and romance, with Spencer’s doomed love story with Alexandra of Sussex (Julia Schlaepfer).
Taylor Sheridan has to lock down Brandon Sklenar’s comeback as Spencer Dutton in 1944.
Brandon Sklenar wants to reprise Spencer Dutton in 1944, and audiences want to see more of the handsome lion hunter. Taylor Sheridan has to lock down Brandon Sklenar’s comeback as Spencer Dutton in 1944 as a surefire bet to create excitement for the third Yellowstone prequel.
Brandon Sklenar Could Join Yellowstone History With A Spencer Dutton Comeback
It’s possible that if 1944 goes forward, Taylor Sheridan could recast the 20-years-older Spencer Dutton. Brandon Sklenar is in demand in movies, and Sheridan has recast iconic Duttons before, like Josh Lucas playing the younger version of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III in Yellowstone.
However, if Brandon Sklenar does reprise Spencer Dutton in 1944, he would join his fellow Dutton actors to play their same characters in two Yellowstone series. Sklenar would be in excellent company with returning Yellowstone icons, including Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Gil Birmingham.
Spencer Dutton may have been rash and didn’t always make sound decisions, but the romantic lion hunter is one of the best Duttons in the Yellowstone saga. Locking down Brandon Sklenar’s comeback as Spencer Dutton in 1944 would be a sound decision by Taylor Sheridan before he leaves Paramount.
