Alex Coming Back In Taylor Sheridan’s Next Yellowstone Prequel Could Work
Could Alex Come Back As A Ghost In 1944?
With1923now over , theYellowstonesaga is moving onto more spinoffs , including the next prequel planned by Taylor Sheridan,1944.Set 20 years after the final stage of1923 , 1944will accompany the Duttons during World War II , and will likely center on Spencer and Alex ’s son , John Dutton II , who will be about 20 . Elizabeth Strafford ’s ( Michelle Randolph ) nestling with thelate Jack Dutton(Darren Mann ) may also be part of1944.Butwill Alex be in1944 in some chassis , the way Elsa Dutton was an aery comportment in1923 ?
1923 season 2 ’s epic finis revealed the fate of Spencer Dutton and how long he pass the Yellowstone with a surprising time jump into another decade .
Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer have float the idea thatAlex could return as a spook in1944.While it sounds laughable at first , there could be merit to Alexandra continuing to be a presence in Spencer ’s life . Alex could exchange Elsa as1944 ’s celestial storyteller and be the omniscient chronicler of Spencer ’s living running the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch .

By introducing Heaven in1883and continuing the afterlife in1923,Taylor Sheridan has the leeway to carefully introduce more supernatural elements into 1944 .
Kevin Costner In Yellowstone Didn’t Get His Version Of Heaven
Yellowstone Is Different From Its Prequels
Elsa , Spencer , and Alex Dutton received quixotic versions of Heaven that reward them for the injustice and tragedy they suffered in life throughout1883and1923 . The more ground , modern - dayYellowstone , however , did not admit ghostlike component or a hopeful edition of the afterlife . Several Duttons and other major characters die throughoutYellowstone , including John Dutton III ( Kevin Costner ) , butthey did n’t get rewarded with their personal versions of unending bliss .
It ’s also possible that present - day Duttons like John do n’t get a version of Heaven like the ' purer ' Elsa of 1883 and Alex and Spencer of 1923 deserved .
HadKevin Costner not quitYellowstonemidway through time of year 5 , it ’s likely that John Dutton III would n’t have been killed off . Once Costner croak and Taylor Sheridan opted to compose outYellowstone ’s lead type with a wild demise , they did n’t have Kevin to perform any scenes of John in Heaven , even if Sheridan had script them . It ’s also potential that present - day Duttons like John do n’t get a variant of Heaven like the ' purer ' Elsa of1883and Alex and Spencer of1923deserved because they are more morally compromise than their ancestors .
