Carpenter will portray Mamie Fossett, a no-nonsense U.S. Deputy Marshal. Her character is described as a highly capable enforcer of the law who “serves warrants and makes arrests with confidence ahead of her time.”
Carpenter’s casting is another win for 1923 Season 2 , which has consistently brought in powerhouse performers.

Hillary’s commitment to justice could see her aligning—or clashing—with the Duttons, whose fight to maintain control over their land often blurs the line between right and wrong. Meanwhile, Mamie’s role as a U.S. Deputy Marshal might bring the weight of the law down on the Dutton family—or she could end up an ally in their battle against their many enemies.
Either way, these additions promise to enrich the drama and expand the already intricate web of 1923’s storytelling.
What’s Next for ‘1923’?
With no confirmed release date for Season 2 yet, fans are left to ponder the possibilities. Will Spencer and Alexandra finally reunite, or will their love story face even more heartbreak? What challenges will Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren) face as they defend their ranch against mounting threats?
And, of course, how will the new characters fit into the Duttons’ world? Will Hillary’s sense of justice clash with the family’s sometimes ruthless methods? Will Mamie’s role as a law enforcer bring her to the Duttons’ doorstep—or help them in their ongoing battles?
For now, fans are left with one option: rewatching 1923 Season 1 in all its glorious drama and romantic tension while counting down the days until Season 2.
Why Fans Keep Coming Back to the ‘Yellowstone’ Universe
What makes 1923 and its parent show Yellowstone so compelling? It’s the mix of family loyalty, high-stakes drama, and complex characters. The Duttons are never simple heroes or villains—they’re a family doing whatever it takes to survive and protect what’s theirs.
