by

Season 2 of the 1923 series, available on Paramount+, comprises just seven episodes. Yet, a listing for Episode 8 has appeared on Apple TV+, causing a bit of perplexity among fans. The Western family drama revolves around the Dutton family grappling with various obstacles during times of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. Given that the series concluded on its initial streaming platform, viewers are intrigued as to why Apple TV+ would show another episode. Here’s what you should know about it.

Is there a 1923 Season 2 Episode 8 available to watch on Apple TV+?

No, the Apple TV+ listing of 1923 Season 2 Episode 8 appears to be an error.

Initially, Season 2 of The 1923 was intended to have 8 episodes. However, one episode got cut, resulting in a total of 7 episodes. Due to this mix-up, Apple TV+ mistakenly listed Episode 8 (with a runtime of 54 minutes and a generic description) as if it were an ordinary episode. Interestingly, when you click on the title “208”, it plays the two-hour finale (Episode 7), which indicates that the service hasn’t yet updated its listing to reflect the extended runtime of the final episode.

Despite some curiosity about the structure of the final episode, viewers can rest assured that the series ended with Episode 7, titled “A Dream and a Memory,” which debuted on April 6, 2025. It’s unclear why the finale wasn’t split into two episodes, but many fans have suggested that the showrunners may have opted for a longer episode to create an cinematic experience, offering all the excitement within one episode rather than spreading it over two weeks.

While some fans were hoping for unexpected developments ahead of the season ender, they expressed a desire to see Episode 8. On Reddit, there has been discussion about alternative explanations behind the show abandoning its initial eight-episode structure.

Originally, Season 2 was planned to consist of eight separate episodes. However, due to financial concerns, Paramount opted against paying the cast additional fees for an extra episode. Consequently, episodes 7 and 8 were merged into a single episode to cut costs. This is all I have on the matter.

People suggested this could be an innovative method to reveal more parts of the story. Regrettably, it seems that’s not the situation as the Episode 8 listing on Apple TV+ appears to be a technical error rather than a planned surprise for viewers.
