Julia Schlaepfer Says She’s ‘Open’ to an Alexandra Dutton Spinoff: ‘I’d Follow Her Anywhere’ – News

Yellow Stone · 21 April, 2025 · Comments off

1923 star Julia Schlaepfer exclusively tells Life & Style she hopes a spinoff could be in the future featuring her character of Alexandra Dutton, as it appears season 2 of the Paramount+ series could be the last.

“I would love, I would play Alex for a million years if I could,” Julia, 29, says of the possibility for a spinoff featuring the British royal who married Brandon Sklenar‘s Spencer Dutton.

“Who knows what Taylor Sheridan has up his sleeve,” she adds about the show’s prolific creator and writer, who created two prequels — 1883 and 1923 — from present-day’s Yellowstone.

Season 1 of 1923 saw Spencer and Alexandra fall in love and marry after meeting on an African safari. Season 2 brings the characters back to the Dutton family ranch in Montana.

“Season 1 we were in Africa in Malta, which was so incredible as an actor. We were filming with these animals in Africa, and so as Alex is seeing an elephant for the first time and can’t believe her eyes, that was what I was going through, which is so special to get to have. We were very lucky,” Julia said of the show’s location shooting.

“And then Malta, we had these big water tanks that we swam in for the swimming scenes, which was also so cool of an experience to get to have. And then we’ve spent a good amount of time in Montana and Texas. We’ve just been all over the place it’s just, it’s been an incredible experience,” she added.

Julia hopes that young people today are able to see parts of themselves in Alex’s character of the posh royal who changed her life by marrying the American rancher

“I think I understood Alex’s pressure that she felt to present as this perfect thing. I think a lot of young women feel that way growing up and a lot of young people in today’s world, there’s this kind of pressure to exude perfection,” the actress explains.

“And so that was something I kind of understood about her and I understood the desire to just like break free and just live spontaneously. And that was so exciting to me. It was a really fun journey and story arc for her that I think came pretty naturally to me,” Julia says of playing Alex. “And then once she was let loose in Africa with Spencer, it was so much fun to really let my impulses fly with her enjoying that time with him.

As for the Bellevue, Washington, native’s favorite moment of season 2, she can’t share “because it’s a big spoiler.” But Julia says being part of 1923′s primary crew was a bonding experience.

“Just working with the crew this season, they became like my family. We all just cared about Alex’s journey so much. And so, getting to work with them every day and we all really took care of each other was like the most special part of my experience hands down,” she gushes.

While Paramount + hasn’t officially confirmed if season 2 will be the last for 1923, Brandon, 34, hinted that it wasn’t meant to go past a second season.

“They haven’t confirmed if it’s stopping here at season two, but I knew before we left to shoot season one ultimately where this was going,” the It Ends With Us star told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Sunday, February 23. “[Taylor] kind of told me, not the specifics of what was going to happen, but he told me. I’ve always known to some degree how it was going to wrap up at the end of season two.”

However, Brandon added, “This story is going to continue one way or another, and I honestly don’t know. But there’s more Dutton story to be told for sure.”

“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.
