1923 airs on Sundays on Paramount Plus and the Yellowstone prequel will conclude with a bumper two-hour finale.
The series stars Jerome Flynn as Banner Creighton, who has been helping antagonist Donald Whitfield (played by Timothy Dalton) gain control of the Duttons’ land.

Banner’s wife, Ellie, is played by actress Sarah Randall Hunt and she has shared some emotional scenes with actor Jerome this season. The star spoke exclusively to Reach titles about some of her filming highlights.
Praising her co-star, she said: “Working with Jerome was inspiring—he blew me away in the finale. Even though we’re a fake husband and wife on the show, it was genuinely heartbreaking to watch someone I care for struggle.
“Taylor wrote such an incredible conundrum for Jerome and the Creightons this season, and Jerome brought it to life beautifully.”
She said a standout moment in the upcoming finale “really stuck with” her, adding: “Between takes, Jerome and I briefly chatted about the end of the scene.

“When we rolled again, we were both so moved afterward. I’m curious to see if they use that take—it felt raw and real, like we were all fully locked into telling this story together.”
Tackling such emotionally-charged scenes has not been easy and Sarah opened up about how she decompresses after filming.
She said: “I actually learned a great lesson this season about post-filming rituals. After an emotional shoot, I wrapped around 2pm.
“I was drained but didn’t want to nap so late in the day. So, I thought, ‘Hey, I’ve got an AMC Stubs account—why not catch a movie?’

“The next showing was The Substance, and I’d been curious about the film so I went for it.
“Well… those of you who’ve seen it know—it’s brutal, gory, intense. I’m still haunted by it. Coralie Fargeat is a genius, but maybe save that one for a day off!”
She also meditates as a way of unwinding, adding: “I also love spending time in nature, blowing off steam with a workout, and taking long baths.
“I just got an Oura ring this year and found it really helpful to track my stress levels. From using it, I’ve learned that the body needs recovery time from both stress and excitement.”
