Actors Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer, known for their roles as Spencer Dutton and Alexandra in 1923, have expressed interest in incorporating a ghost storyline into the upcoming Yellowstone prequel, 1944. Sklenar mentioned, “Right now, I’m just trying to lobby for Jules [Julia Schlaepfer] to be a ghost,” with Schlaepfer adding, “Yeah, that’s our goal right now.” They envision Alexandra haunting Spencer in a “beautiful” and “fun” manner, rather than a traditional spooky presence.

The concept aligns with the Yellowstone universe’s history of using spectral elements, such as Elsa Dutton’s narrations in 1883 and 1923. Additionally, Sklenar has shared personal experiences of encountering a ghost while filming on the Queen Mary, a famously haunted ship, which could further inspire such a storyline.

While Paramount+ has not confirmed any supernatural themes for 1944, the actors’ enthusiasm and the franchise’s precedent for ethereal storytelling suggest that a ghostly presence could be a compelling addition to the series.

1944 is expected to explore the Dutton family’s experiences during World War II, potentially featuring older versions of Spencer and Alexandra. Given the time jump from 1923, the series may delve into how past relationships and memories influence the characters’ present lives

As fans await further details, the possibility of Alexandra’s ghostly return adds an intriguing layer to the anticipated narrative of 1944
