Having a separate crew film the Spencer and Alexandra scenes proved to be a challenge for the “1923” stars. For starters, they were on a much different schedule than their Montana counterparts, as Julia Schlaepfer explained to The Wrap, “We had a separate camera crew in South Africa and our friends were shooting back home. And back in Montana, there were so many different storylines going on. So people, had some days on, some off, that type of thing, but with me and Brandon, it was us nonstop. We were always working. And if we had a day off, we were doing fittings or stunt training or flying 16 hours to Kenya, that type of thing.”
“1923” has shown so far how the two actors weren’t just sitting around talking during their scenes. From hunting big game to getting rammed by a shipping liner on their tugboat, the pair have certainly gone through the wringer throughout their African journey. But despite all of the hard work they had to do for their scenes, Schlaepfer admitted it was plenty fun. She went on to say, “It was also the most fun whirlwind that I have ever been a part of. I still feel like I’m like getting my bearings realizing that I just did all of that and was in Africa and the whole thing. We were living off adrenaline and we were gross and dirty, and just like enjoying that aspect of it. And they think it really adds to the story and how fast it all moves.”
Season 1 of “1923” has almost come to a close, but Paramount+ has renewed it for a second season. The romance between Spencer and Alex was a highlight of the first season, and hopefully, it’s explored even further down the line.
