Meanwhile, Roché, spoke about the season, promising that the characters will change “forever.”

Roché joined the Yellowstone prequel 1923 in 2022, but the French-born actor is well known for other roles in popular series, including General Hospital, Supernatural, Fringe, The Originals and The Vampire Diaries. He now plays the French Father Renaud, a Catholic priest in the new season around two years after the season’s finale.

Speaking with People, Roché gave fans a hint on what to expect from the second season. He noted that fans will find the new season’s events “very satisfactory,” saying:

For me, season 2 is a season about journeys. All the characters go on a journey and yeah, it’s very satisfactory.

Speaking of his own character, Roché said of Father Renaud:

What I loved about my character is how complex my journey — how transformational Father Renaud’s journey is — as he stumbles along in his quest to find this girl.

What does she represent? It’s a real transformational journey for him.

1923 a ‘dream come true’ for Sebastian Roché

While the actor couldn’t reveal too much, he did say the finale will be an emotional one. Moreover, he said that he had tears in his eyes as he read it, saying:

Taylor [Sheridan] is a romantic at heart and it’s beautiful. The way he writes is really in that vein.

He added that he is a huge fan of Sheridan and admires Yellowstone, saying:

He’s a brilliant dialogist — I don’t know if you can say that. That’s a Frenchism. And his dialogues are second to none. And he doesn’t change them. The way he writes them — doesn’t change it.

And so you know that it’s set in stone, and his character building is truly exceptional. And I’d seen that because I was a fan of Sicario, Hell or High Water, everything he’s done.

Moreover, Roché admitted that at times he felt like “pinching myself in costume on horseback, adding:

It really is a dream come true in terms of a young French boy growing up near Paris, watching American movies, and then here I am. On a massive set of a western with an extraordinary part and an extraordinary journey in my character.
