Wondering where John Dutton II is in 1923 Season 2 and how he fits into Yellowstone’s family mystery? As the father of John Dutton III, his absence raises questions about his origins and parentage, leaving fans searching for answers.
Here’s a look at John Dutton II’s whereabouts, possible lineage, and what 1923 Season 2 might reveal.
Does John Dutton II show up in 1923 Season 2?
John Dutton II has not yet appeared in 1923 Season 2, and his birth remains a mystery in the Yellowstone universe.
Established timelines place John Dutton II as the father of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III and part of the fourth Dutton generation. In Yellowstone Season 2, Episode 10, “Sins of the Father,” a flashback shows John Dutton III taking his father on a final horseback ride before he dies.
The primary question remains: who are John Dutton II’s parents? 1923 has positioned both Spencer Dutton and Jack Dutton as potential candidates. Jack Dutton, as the son of John Dutton I, was expected to father John Dutton II, but 1923 Season 1 ended with Elizabeth Strafford suffering a miscarriage.
Meanwhile, Spencer Dutton’s storyline with Alexandra introduces the possibility that they could be John Dutton II’s parents. 1923 Season 2 promotional images confirm that Spencer, Alexandra, Jack, and Elizabeth are all returning, keeping the mystery alive.
Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, hinted at a major resolution for his character. In an interview with Forbes, Sklenar stated, “I mean, the finale of the series is probably one of the best things I’ve read in my life. I’ve kind of known how it was going to end since day one – Taylor [Sheridan] kind of told me. I knew the full arc of Spencer from day one, so in shooting part one, your mindful of where he needs to go.” His comments indicate that Spencer’s fate connects to the ongoing Dutton family mystery.
1923 has yet to address John Dutton II’s backstory, but the Yellowstone universe must resolve it. If the timeline progresses, 1923 Season 2 could reveal his birth, estimated between 1924 and 1930. Otherwise, the upcoming 1944 spin-off may provide the answer.
