Paramount Global now reveals that the 1923 season 2 finale set a new viewership record for the show, amassing 14 million views in the seven days since it was released. This marks a new high for the show and a 41% jump from the season 1 finale audience of 10 million. Season 2 as a whole showed strong growth from season 1, coming out 46% ahead.

1923 season 2 also excelled on social media, delivering 163 million views, which is eight times greater than the views for season 1 at 21 million. 1923 currently ranks as one of the top three global series of all time for Paramount+ alongside Landman and Tulsa King, both of which also hail from Sheridan.

The war for the Yellowstone ignites in 1923 season 2’s finale, and it’s a bloodbath that results in casualties for the Duttons and their enemies.

The immense success of the 1923 season 2 finale – and season 2 as a whole – raises questions about whether it will serve as the end of the Paramount show. In its press release, Paramount does not refer to the season 2 finale as a series finale, which could be a sign that they’re keeping the door open for more. Even if 1923 doesn’t return, however, the Yellowstone universe will continue to expand, with Sheridan’s next project set to be 1944, which will seemingly chronicle the struggles of the Dutton family ranch during World War II.

The Sheridan Universe Still Has Legs

Even though there is now a lot of Yellowstone content out there for viewers, the success of 1923 season 2 affirms that viewers haven’t yet had enough of Sheridan’s Western universe. The stage is now set for 1944 to be a hit as well, and it’s entirely possible that another spinoff or two will follow, covering the years between World War II and the present-day events of Yellowstone and its upcoming modern spinoffs, which include The Madison.
