Chemistry came naturally for Brandon Sklenar and Julia Schlaepfer on the set of 1923, with their castmates assuming they were friends before being cast. Their characters, Spencer and Alexandra Dutton, fell in love at first sight in season 1, leading to a deep bond between the actors in real life.

Sklenar and Schlaepfer’s chemistry was evident from the start, with the two spending quality time together before filming even began. Their close bond was solidified during cowboy camp and their time in Africa, where they bonded over horseback riding and other activities.

In season 2 of 1923, Spencer and Alex are separated, but their love story deepens as it now includes their family. The actors, Sklenar and Schlaepfer, have enjoyed exploring different aspects of their characters this season, even though they are not together onscreen. The season 2 finale of 1923 premieres on April 6 on Paramount+.
