Filming onthe long-awaited second seasonof theYellowstoneprequel seriesbegan in June, and starBrandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, has teased that the upcoming episodes will be worth the wait.

“I can confidently say that it’s going to be absolutely incredible,” Sklenar, 34, toldForbesof season 2, for which he’s had the scripts for more than “six months.”

“The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful,” he said, sharing that he will get “plenty ofHelen [Mirren]andHarrison [Ford]time, and it’s going to be special.”

Mirren, 79, and Ford, 82, play the Dutton family’s matriarch and patriarch, Cara and Jacob Dutton, and Sklenar plays their nephew, who is on a journey to return to Montana with his love interest, Alex (Julia Schlepper), in the secondYellowstoneprequel series, which followed1883.

While Sklenar remained tight-lipped on the plot of season 2 to “not give away spoilers,” he teased that the show’s culmination is one to get excited about.

“The finale of the series is probably one of the best things I’ve read in my life,” he toldForbes. “I’ve kind of known how it was going to end since day one —Taylor [Sheridan]kind of told me. I knew the full arc of Spencer from day one, so in shooting part one, you’re mindful of where he needs to go. I’m really excited.”

“It’s kind of impossible to not have that experience when you’re working with these people and with this material.”
