1923 Shocker: This Character’s Return Could Ruin Yellowstone Season 5 – Will Fans Accept It? 🤯🔥🚨

Yellow Stone · 6 March, 2025 · Comments off

One of Taylor Sheridan’s characters has a chance to reappear in 1923 season 2, but if he does, it could repeat one of the biggest problems with Yellowstone season 5. Taylor Sheridan has played four characters in his own shows and movies, and they range from unnamed characters to main cast members. One of Sheridan’s cameo characters in particular, Charles Goodnight from 1883, could soon join the cast of 1923 season 2. While it is possible for Goodnight to appear in 1923, there’s some evidence that may prove it’s not a great idea for Sheridan to reprise the role.

Yellowstone season 5 was the end of the show, and for many longtime fans, it felt underwhelming. Kevin Costner’s departure from Yellowstone certainly didn’t help, but there was also a general sense that the story of the Dutton family should have amounted to more. There were plenty of reasons why Yellowstone season 5 failed to live up to expectations, but one of the more salient problems with the show’s final outing was Taylor Sheridan himself. Sheridan’s writing was fine, but his Yellowstone character hurt that show, and it could be a bad omen for Charles Goodnight in 1923.

Charles Goodnight May Let Taylor Sheridan Act In 1923 Season 2, But It Could Repeat Yellowstone’s Mistake

In the premiere of 1923 season 2, Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves) and Pete Plenty Clouds (Jeremy Gauna) discovered they had wandered onto a ranch after meeting a cowboy. As the cowboy explained, the land they were on belonged to a “Mr. Goodnight,” and Taylor Sheridan played Charles Goodnight in 1883. Runs His Horse (Michael Spears) then declared he was going to try to meet with Goodnight, which means Sheridan could reprise his 1883 role in 1923 season 2. While it’s far from confirmed that Sheridan will play Goodnight again, reprising his character may be more trouble than it’s worth.

If Taylor Sheridan does seize his opportunity to appear in 1923 season 2 as Charles Goodnight, it has the potential to be just as divisive as his appearance as Travis Wheatley in Yellowstone. If 1923 takes a few moments to focus on Charles Goodnight and have him interact with Teonna and her group, it will only detract from the rest of the show’s more interesting stories. Watching Goodnight brag about his relationship with Quanah Parker wouldn’t be nearly as interesting as moving closer to the confrontation between Teonna, Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane), and Father Renaud (Sebastian Roché), for example.

Travis Stole Precious Time That Could Have Developed Yellowstone’s More Interesting Stories

Charles Goodnight’s potential appearance in 1923 season 2 is also extremely reminiscent to one of Yellowstone season 5’s worst mistakes: Travis Wheatley. Taylor Sheridan had appeared as Travis in a handful of Yellowstone episodes dating back to season 1, but in Yellowstone season 5, he became a major part of the show. In fact, Travis got such a massive role in Yellowstone season 5 that he stole precious time away from the much more pressing stories of the show’s main characters. The ending of Yellowstone already felt rushed, and Travis only made it worse.

A great example of the effect Travis had on Yellowstone is his story with Beth (Kelly Reilly). In the final episodes of the show, instead of pursuing her revenge against Jamie (Wes Bentley), Yellowstone had Beth deal with Travis for an extended period of time. That time was quite valuable, and it would have been put to better use by exploring the ends of some of Sheridan’s most beloved characters rather than exploring the life of a small recurring character. Travis was fine as a bit of comedic humor that appeared once a season, but once he became a central figure of Yellowstone, the show suffered.

Taylor Sheridan Has To Figure Out How To Avoid His Travis Mistake In Yellowstone Before Acting In Another Of His Shows
Sheridan Has To Go Back To Sparingly Playing Cameo Characters In His Shows

Travis Wheatley is just a sign of a problem that has been happening in several of Taylor Sheridan’s cameo appearances. Even Cody Spears, Sheridan’s Lioness character and the second most recent role he played, got an overly important role in the ending of the show, and he stole time away from Joe’s (Zoe Saldaña) story. Sheridan has to figure out how to write a cameo character who adds to the overall story of his shows instead of feeling like an unnecessary self-insert before he makes another on-screen appearance. Unfortunately, Sheridan may not have learned that lesson in time for 1923 season 2.

One of the oddest parts of Sheridan’s recent indulgent cameos is that he used to be much better at them. Sheridan’s characters in Hell or High Water and 1883 were both prime examples of a good cameo: they were important for a bit, they did their thing, and they promptly left, so their respective stories could refocus on the main characters. If Goodnight does appear in 1923 season 2, and he’s like Travis in Yellowstone rather than the cowboy in Hell or High Water, he may end up exacerbating 1923’s already slow pace and bringing Teonna’s story to a grinding halt.

“I wish it was sexier than that”: Taylor Sheridan Learned a Valuable Lesson in His Most Challenging Movie Before Yellowstone.. Taylor Sheridan has become a household name thanks to the enormous success of Yellowstone and its ever-expanding universe of spin-offs, but before he was redefining the television Western, he was grinding his way through some of Hollywood’s toughest lessons. Recently, Sheridan admitted that one of his most challenging movie experiences, long before Yellowstone existed, provided him with wisdom that shaped him into the storyteller he is today. With his trademark blunt humor, he confessed, “I wish it was sexier than that,” making clear that the road to success was paved with missteps, frustrations, and a lot of trial-and-error. Sheridan’s journey is a testament to persistence. Before his name became synonymous with hit series, he was best known to audiences as an actor. Many remember his role as David Hale on Sons of Anarchy, but Sheridan often recalls the difficulty of being an actor-for-hire, constantly at the mercy of casting decisions and executives. That frustration eventually pushed him to transition into writing and directing, though the early years of that career shift were anything but glamorous. The movie in question—his so-called “most challenging project”—was not the type of Hollywood breakthrough most writers dream about. It wasn’t a high-profile studio film, nor was it an indie darling that won accolades at Sundance. Instead, it was a grueling, underfunded project that Sheridan now looks back on with a mix of humility and appreciation. What made it challenging was not just the lack of resources, but the disconnect between his creative vision and the machinery of filmmaking that often stripped away authenticity. For Sheridan, who would later build Yellowstone around authenticity to ranch life and cowboy culture, that clash was a painful but essential lesson. In his own words, Sheridan noted that the experience taught him “what not to do” more than anything else. As he attempted to find his voice as a writer and storyteller, he was confronted with the realities of production—the compromises, the meddling, and the dilution of themes he cared about. It was, by his account, deeply frustrating. And yet, it hardened him. It forced him to recognize that if he wanted to tell the kinds of stories that mattered to him, he would need to do it his own way, on his own terms. That mindset is what would later lead him to insist on creative control when developing Yellowstone for Paramount. Sheridan’s quip—“I wish it was sexier than that”—speaks to his no-nonsense personality. Fans may imagine a dramatic, cinematic origin story for a man who now commands Hollywood power, but Sheridan is quick to undercut that fantasy. His truth is less glamorous: long days, tight budgets, difficult compromises, and a lingering sense of dissatisfaction. But embedded in that struggle was the foundation for the empire he would later build. The experience shaped his philosophy about storytelling. Sheridan realized that authenticity mattered more than spectacle. His later works—Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River—reflect that commitment to grounded realism, unflinching grit, and morally complex characters. Without the sting of that difficult film, he may not have pursued the stripped-down, emotionally raw style that has now become his trademark. More importantly, it taught Sheridan about resilience. In Hollywood, many careers die after a bad experience. Scripts get shelved, directors burn out, and writers compromise until their voices are unrecognizable. Sheridan chose the opposite path. Instead of giving up or bowing to pressure, he doubled down on the importance of staying true to himself. That resilience echoes in the stories he writes—characters who endure pain, fight against impossible odds, and cling to their values even when the world tells them otherwise. Yellowstone is the ultimate culmination of those lessons. The series embodies Sheridan’s belief in authenticity, from its rugged depiction of ranch life to its refusal to water down the brutality of the West. Beth Dutton’s razor-sharp wit, Rip Wheeler’s unwavering loyalty, and John Dutton’s fight to protect his land are all born of Sheridan’s insistence on telling stories with emotional truth. The massive success of Yellowstone is proof that the lessons he learned in that difficult early film were not wasted but instead transformed into a philosophy that resonates with millions of viewers. Sheridan himself acknowledges that Yellowstone would not exist without those early struggles. His “non-sexy” lesson from a failed or difficult project became the fire that fueled his drive. Every frustration became a reminder of what he never wanted to compromise again. Every disappointing choice made by others on that project reinforced his determination to be the one in charge of his own stories. By the time Paramount came knocking, Sheridan had sharpened his voice into something powerful, uncompromising, and distinctly his own. Fans often look at Sheridan now—commanding one of the most powerful storytelling empires on television—and imagine that he has always been destined for greatness. But Sheridan himself resists that narrative. He wants people to understand that failure, difficulty, and humility are part of success. His career is proof that the most important lessons often come not from triumphs but from challenges that break you down and force you to rebuild stronger.
