However, the show\u2019s first four episodes hint that Spencer could be John\u2019s grandfather.

Even the actor who plays Spencer, Brandon Sklenar, is still in the dark.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-7_57\">The actor told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0that he does not know exactly how his character fits into the lineage. \u201cIt\u2019s\u2019 something that Taylor is keeping very close to the vest. I have my own theories, but it\u2019s to be told, to be written, to be seen. He\u2019s\u2019 always moving all that stuff around,\u201d the actor stated.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">John Dutton Jr. will likely be born in \u20181923\u2019<\/h2>\n<p id=\"par-8_51\">In\u00a0<em>Yellowstone<\/em>, John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) is estimated to be in his early 60s. This would mean that he was born sometime in the early 1960s. If Alexandra and Spencer or Jack and Elizabeth have a child in the mid to late 1920s, then this timeline adds up.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\">\n<div class=\"stream-item-size\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, 1923 actor Sebastian Roch\u00e9 teased to Variety that fans will see modern-day Yellowstone characters in 1923.<\/p>\n<p id=\"par-10_45\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to see people who we didn\u2019t know about come into the universe, and we are going to recognize certain characters who are now members of the present-day<em>\u00a0Yellowstone<\/em>\u00a0family,\u201d\u00a0Roch\u00e9 explained. This seems to hint that John Dutton Jr. will be born sometime in\u00a0<em>1923<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph\u2019s Elizabeth Strafford is among the characters returning for more drama in 1923, and season 2 promises to have more great storytelling in store for fans.<\/p>\n<p>Randolph addressed those theories about Elizabeth having a family connection to Costner\u2019s Dutton, c<strong>autiously denying knowing anything about the Dutton family tree<\/strong>\u00a0and her character\u2019s possible place on it. Randolph did, however, express her worry about unwittingly dropping\u00a0<em>1923<\/em>\u00a0spoilers, noting that her ties to the family tree is the \u201c<em>No. 1 question I get asked<\/em>\u201d and ultimately prefers to play coy. Check out the rest of what Randolph shared below:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I may or may not know. You know, you\u2019ve just got to watch and find out what happens. It\u2019s so much easier to just say I don\u2019t know anything. No, I\u2019m terrified.
