Taylor Sheridan’s grip on the small screen went to dizzying heights with 1923, the third chapter in the Yellowstone saga.

Fans immediately connected with the setting, the cast, and the timely storylines that took us back in time to tell another origin story about the Duttons.

Today is the day that we finally have an idea about 1923 Season 2. Paramount+ released new photos, two teasers, and a premiere date.

1923: Has It Been Renewed for Season 2?

Unlike 1883, which was designed as one season to tell a complete story, 1923 is getting a second season.

As the writing process was underway, Taylor Sheridan realized he needed more time to wrap up the storylines, which means we’re getting a second season.

It will probably be the final season because the superproducer has been vocal about not wanting to keep the shows on the air beyond their initial storylines.

It’s always good when shows have a clear beginning, middle, and ending because it makes them more satisfying to watch.

How Many Episodes Have Been Ordered for 1923 Season 2?

1923 Season 1 spanned eight episodes, and we’re getting the same again with 1923 Season 2.

Eight-episode seasons mean there’s little time for filler and more time for action, so we can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon for Cara, Jacob, and the rest of the Duttons.

It’s unbelievable how many stories have been brought to the forefront about the Duttons.

The family has a long and storied past; we’re just happy it will continue to be charted.

1923 Season 2 Cast: Who’s In?

After the events of 1923 Season 1, it’s easy to tell who will be returning.

Hint: Their characters didn’t die. Take a look at who should be on the roster for 1923 Season 2.

1923 Season 2 Cast Additions

Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) joins 1923 as Mamie Fossett, “a highly capable U.S. Deputy Marshall who serves warrants and makes arrests with confidence ahead of her time.”

Janet Montgomery (New Amsterdam) joins 1923 as Hillary, “a thoughtful woman who does not want to see injustice go unpunished.”

1923 Season 2: What Will It Be About?

Given that 1923 Season 1 concluded without resolution, plenty of questions are still up in the air, meaning we’ll need to tune into 1923 Season 2 for some answers.

Obviously, Cara and Jacob will take center stage, but the rest of their family and people in their orbit still have a lot of stories to tell.

Helen Mirren as Cara Dutton and Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton in 1923 Season 2 Episode 1. (Trae Patton/Paramount+)

The bad news? It’s hard to judge what comes next because Sheridan likes to subvert expectations, so there’s a good chance the final eight episodes will go in a completely different direction to what we expect.

That’s why we love these shows so much.

When Will 1923 Season 2 Premiere?

We finally have an answer for that!

The second season will premiere on Sunday, February 23 exclusively on Paramount+

Is There a Trailer for 1923 Season 2?

We’ve got two, count them TWO teasers for the second season.

That’s the good news.

The bad news is that even if you piece them together, they don’t amount to much.

Did we really expect details about a TS show? Uh, no.

Where Can I Watch 1923?

1923 Season 1 aired exclusively on Paramount+.

While the series is a streaming original, Paramount has decided to air the complete first season on Paramount, and the premiere date for 1923 Season 1 Episode 1 is December 8 at 9/8c.

If you want to catch up with this series and its incredibly romantic love stories, that’s the best place to start.

1923 Season 1 was also released on Blu-Ray and DVD in August 2023, so you can own it, as well.

Will the Dutton Family Dynasty Lead to More Yellowstone Spinoffs Set in the Past?

Paramount+ ordered 1944 and The Madison, which is already in production.

We’re also not yet sure if the next two episodes of Yellowstone Season 5 will be their last or if they’re going to continue the present-day Dutton saga beyond its latest “chapter,” as the execs describe it.

Yellowstone’s final episode is also called a season finale, which leads us to believe the present-day Duttons will continue with Beth at the helm.

That’s all we got, 1923 Fanatics. We will update this page as TV news drops, so check regularly.

Guy Ritchie Brings Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan & Helen Mirren to Showtime for Global Organized Crime Saga https://www.tvfanatic.com/guy-ritchie-tom-hardy-pierce-brosnan-helen-mirren-showtime-organized-crime-saga/ https://www.tvfanatic.com/guy-ritchie-tom-hardy-pierce-brosnan-helen-mirren-showtime-organized-crime-saga/#comments Wed, 27 Nov 2024 19:34:39 +0000 https://www.tvfanatic.com/?p=825832

Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren are teaming with Guy Ritchie for a new Paramount+ with Showtime global organized crime series.

The post Guy Ritchie Brings Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan & Helen Mirren to Showtime for Global Organized Crime Saga appeared first on TV Fanatic.

What do you get when you combine Guy Ritchie, Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren?

The answer: an upcoming Paramount+ with Showtime series that will keep us breathlessly anticipating each episode.

The untitled Guy Ritchie project, currently titled New Guy Ritchie Project in the context of the below press release, is a global organized crime series centering around two warring families and the loyal fixer charged with protecting them at any cost.

(Courtesy of Paramount+)

With Ritchie at the helm and Hardy, Brosnan, and Mirren leading the charge, how can this possibly go wrong?

Here’s what we know so far.

Production is currently underway in London on Ritchie’s new global crime series with Tom Hardy (Venom: The Last Dance) set to star alongside Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day) and Helen Mirren (1923) as series regulars.

New Guy Ritchie Project is produced in association with Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.

The series will debut globally in 2025 on Paramount+ and the Paramount+ with Showtime Plan in the U.S.

Hardy will play “Harry Da Souza,” a professional conciliator on behalf of the Harrigan family, while Brosnan will play “Conrad Harrigan,” the head of a very successful Irish crime family based out of London for whom Harry works.

Mirren will play “Maeve Harrigan,” Conrad’s wife and the Harrigan family matriarch.  

“Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren are masters at their craft, and we are honored to have them lead the cast for Guy Richie’s new global, original series,” said Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global Co-CEO and President/CEO of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios.

“Guy, Jez Butterworth, and Ronan Bennett’s creative prowess, coupled with these gifted actors, is the perfect recipe for what we believe will be the next brand-defining series for Showtime on Paramount+”

“The firepower on and off the screen in this new Guy Ritchie crime series will deliver exactly what audiences expect from Paramount + with Showtime: high-caliber acting, high-impact storylines, and high-level production from some of the best in the business,” said Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President of programming for Paramount+.

For those of us who caught Kin when it aired in the US and have been desperately awaiting word on seasons two and beyond making their way here, this is fantastic news.

While we don’t know if this will be a present-day endeavor or something from Ireland’s vast history of warring crime families (sorry, Ireland, but we love you!), we have high hopes for the project.

One of my all-time favorite series was Love/Hate out of Ireland. There are so many good storylines to be mined here, and Ritchie is the perfect person to dig into them.

Following In His Father's Footsteps - Taboo

(Copyright 2016, FX Networks. All rights reserved.)

The series is executive produced by Keith Cox, Nina L. Diaz, David C. Glasser, Guy Ritchie, Jez Butterworth, Ronan Bennett, Kris Thykier, Ivan Atkinson, Tom Hardy, Dean Baker, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari. 

And for those of you who remain confused about the branding, we’re still confused, too.

We’re pretty sure this will be on Showtime cable as well as Paramount+ with Showtime. In other words, if you have Paramount+ without the Showtime addition, you’ll have to watch on cable. If that changes, we’ll let you know!

So, will this be another hit for Paramount+ with Showtime? Shoot us a comment below with your thoughts!

John Krasinski, Matthew Rhys Join Cast of Silent River: Will the Sexiest Man Alive Play a Serial Killer? https://www.tvfanatic.com/john-krasinski-matthew-rhys-join-cast-of-silent-river-will-the-sexiest-man-alive-play-a-serial-killer/ https://www.tvfanatic.com/john-krasinski-matthew-rhys-join-cast-of-silent-river-will-the-sexiest-man-alive-play-a-serial-killer/#respond Tue, 26 Nov 2024 21:16:06 +0000 https://www.tvfanatic.com/?p=825615 John Krasinski attends the New York Premiere of "IF" at the SVA Theater on May 13, 2024, in New York, New York.

We may soon see a darker side of John Krasinski. The Jack Ryan star is set to star in a serial killer drama opposite Matthew Rhys.

John Krasinski has been a small-screen staple for multiple decades now.

But we’re used to watching him portray unassuming good guys like Jim Halpert or heroic badasses like Jack Ryan.

Now, it seems that we might be on the verge of seeing 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive in a very different light.

According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, Krasinski has signed on to join The Americans and Perry Mason star Matthew Rhys in a new serial killer drama for Prime Video.

Both actors will also serve as executive producers on Silent River, which does not yet have a release date.

The details of their roles are unclear at the moment, but we know that the Krasinski and Rhys “will play two men whose lives are more connected than they realize.”

“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM said in a press release.

“With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”

Both stars have been on a role lately, with Rhys recently earning acclaim for his performance as George Carlin in Saturday Night.

And in addition to receiving People magazine’s sexiest honor, Krasinski has been absolutely crushing it behind the camera lately.

He recently directed the children’s flick IF, and the Quiet Place franchise that he conceived in 2018 shows no signs of slowing down.

In the past, Krasinski has been accused of playing it a bit safe with his acting choices.

So hopefully he’ll indulge his darker side with this one and drop the nice-guy persona for a bit.

Although we wouldn’t mind if he did one quick glance at the camera, a la Jim Halpert — just for old times’ sake.

Gabriel Macht is returning to the franchise that made him famous. It was revealed today that Macht will appear on Suits: LA.

If you were one of the many Suits fans who was feeling indifferent about the idea of a spinoff, today’s casting news might finally spark your interest.

Deadline is reporting that Gabriel Macht will reprise his role as Harvey Specter on the upcoming NBC series Suits: LA.

Macht is reportedly slated for a three-episode arc, and while the gig could lead to a more lasting arrangement, at present there’s no indication that he’ll become a series regular.

In fact, today’s news has not yet been confirmed by NBC.

But Macht posted an Instagram video that left little doubt about his upcoming career plans.

The clip shows him suiting up (pun intended) in attire that fans are sure to associate with his beloved character (including a shirt monogrammed with the initials “H.S.”).

“When an old friend is in need…it’s time to take care of things and make those very ‘things’ right,” Macht captioned the post.

“The Bat Signal does work!!” commented Suits: LA lead Stephen Amell, seemingly offering further confirmation of Macht’s return.

Today’s news doesn’t come as a total shock, as Adams previously stated that he would be open to reprising his role.

“I’ve offered my services at all times,” he recently told TV Line, adding:

“I love [Suits/Suits L.A. creator] Aaron Korsh and I love that world; it changed my whole life.”

So does the return of Macht mean that other original cast members might come back to the show that made them famous?

Is there a chance that the Duchess of Sussex herself, Meghan Markle, will reprise her role as Rachel Zane?

That remains to be seen.

It seems unlikely that Meghan is planning to return to the world of acting, but the news that Suits: LA will feature a Specter arc makes it that much more likely that Patrick J. Adams will step back into Mike Ross’ impeccably tailored duds.

The original Suits has enjoyed a surprising resurgence in popularity in recent years, becoming one of Netflix’s most-watched shows.

As a result, excitement was at a fever pitch when NBC first announced a spinoff. But thus far, the casting news surrounding Suits: LA has failed to heighten the anticipation.

That may change with today’s unofficial announcement.

What do you think, Suits fanatics? Is this the news you’ve been waiting to hear?

Scott Foley will be joining the cast of Will Trent Season 3. He'll reportedly play a love interest of Angie's.

Scott Foley is headed back to television!

The actor who first won over audiences with his work on Dawson’s Creek and Felicity is the latest star to join the cast of Will Trent Season 3.

TV Line is reporting today that Foley will take on a recurring role that features a romantic entanglement with one of the show’s most beloved characters.

Foley will play Dr. Seth McDale, “the confident and down-to-earth head of emergency medicine at a local hospital and Angie’s new romantic interest.”

The beloved TV vet is, of course, no stranger to playing charismatic love interests on ABC dramas.

He appeared on 15 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy as the husband of Kim Raver’s Teddy Altman.

Ironically, Scott had to go to a crime procedural to finally get the chance to play a doctor!

Foley is the latest of several newcomers to the world of Will Trent.

The show will boast an impressive roster of talent in its third season, including Gina Rodriguez in the series-regular role of Marion Alba.

Alba is described as “a charismatic, confident Assistant District Attorney new to Atlanta” in her official character bio.

“After her first encounter with Will falls flat, the pair is surprised to learn that they must work together to investigate a crime in the world of Atlanta gangs,” the description continues.

The new season will also feature a number of well-known guest stars, including Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules fame.

Eagerness for the series’ return was already at a fever pitch, and we’re sure today’s casting news will only heighten the anticipation further.

Unfortunately, Will Trent diehards still have a bit of a wait ahead of them.

The show is not slated to return until January 7.

(Disney/Daniel Delgado Jr.)

While the quirky crime drama will enjoy a mostly uninterrupted run, its midseason premiere date will mean a run of just 18 episodes.

It’ll be the show’s longest season to date, but still slightly less than what fans were hoping for following last year’s strike-shortened run.

Over to you, Will Trent fanatics! Are you psyched that this series keeps adding to its already incredibly talented cast?

The beloved Natasha Lyonne comedy Poker Face will be playing with even more of a stacked deck in its second season.

Peacock announced today that Method Man, Awkwafina, Simon Rex, and Corey Hawkins will be joining the cast for the show’s sophomore outing.

In other words, the series will continue to rival Elsbeth and SNL in terms of big-name guest stars.

Though best known for his work with the Wu-Tang Clan, Method Man is no stranger to the world of acting.

In addition to his performances in films like How High and Garden State, he also appeared in 13 episodes of HBO’s The Wire, considered by many to be the finest show in recent TV history.

The legendary rapper is currently a regular on Power Book II: Ghost.

As for Awkwafina, in addition to her signature series, Awkwafina is Nora From Queens, she also starred in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and she’ll appear in the upcoming season of Black Mirror.

Rex is an industry vet who made a comeback with his stellar performance in the 2021 film Red Rocket, and Hawkins is best known for his role in Straight Outta Compton.

Fun fact: The guy who played Dr. Dre and attended Julliard is the only member of this quartet who hasn’t released a hip hop single!

The latest additions to Poker Face Season 2 will join a lengthy list of previously announced guest stars, including (deep breath!):

Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes, Gaby Hoffmann, Kumail Nanjiani, Sherry Cola, Kevin Corrigan, Ben Marshall, Kathrine Narducci, and Cynthia Erivo.

Oh, you want more? How about BJ Novak, Margo Martindale, John Mulaney, Ego Nwodim, and Sam Richardson?

Yep. This show doesn’t mess around when it comes to A-list murderers and stiffs.

Sure, Elsbeth might have more of a bubbly personality, but clearly, Charlie Cale rubs shoulders with just as many big-name suspects.

No premiere date has been announced for Poker Face Season 2.

If you need evidence that sometimes the biggest blessings can show up at our door disguised as curses, look no further than the life of Ariana Madix:

Last year, the Vanderpump Rules star caught her then-boyfriend Tom Sandoval cheating on her with one of her best friends.

But the resulting “Scandoval” turned out to be a major shot in the arm for Ariana’s career.

She’s now successfully made the difficult transition from reality star to legitimate actress, singer, and host.

Earlier this year, Madix starred in Chicago on Broadway. From there she landed gigs on Dancing With the Stars and Love Island USA.

Now, she’s reached a new stage of TV legitimacy with a role on ABC’s Will Trent.

According to a new report from Variety, Madix will play herself on a Season 3 episode of the beloved procedural.

But this is no mere celebrity cameo.

In the episode, Ariana will be paying a visit to Trent’s native Atlanta to host an intervention for a longtime friend.

She hires Det. Ormewood (Jake McLaughlin) to work security for the event — and we’re assuming things go awry and one of the guests leaves in a body bag.

No premiere date has been announced for Ariana’s turn on Will Trent, but since it has yet to film, we’re guessing it won’t be one of the first episodes.

If you’re one of the many fans who’s missing the presence of Atlanta’s most dapper detective this fall season, fear not.

Will Trent will return to ABC as a midsesason replacement. And after a strike-shortened second season, fans can expect a full slate of episodes.

In addition to Madix, the show will be adding Gina Rodriguez to its cast for Season 3.

We’re still a little miffed that we’re being forced to wait until midseason, but we’re mostly just grateful that this charmingly innovative series will soon be back on our screens.

Big news from the world of The Big Bang Theory!

According to a new report from Deadline, the upcoming untitled TBBT spinoff has added three beloved cast members from the original series.

Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, and Brian Posehn will all make their returns to the Big Bang-iverse in a sequel series that’s otherwise shrouded in mystery.

On the original series, Sussman portrayed comic book store owner Stuart Bloom, who quickly developed into a fan favorite.

Lapkus and Posehn played Denise and Bert Kibbler, respectively, so it’s safe to assume that the spinoff will center around that trio of characters.

More casting announcements are sure to follow, but it seems that locking down the key three was producers’ top priority.

This is the first indication of the new show’s focus since it was first announced back on April of 2023.

Insiders say no script has been written, and the project has yet to receive a greenlight from CBS.

But since this is a Chuck Lorre production stemming from one of the most successful franchises in network history, it’s safe to assume that this thing will eventually see the light of day.

If you’re a fan of the original TBBT, then you know what fertile ground it’s been for spinoffs.

Young Sheldon wrapped its successful seven-season run in May.

(The show might well have continued for several more years were it not for the fact that titular star Iain Armitage was beginning to age out of the role.)

And that series spawned Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, which is set to premiere on CBS on October 17.

So yeah, barring anything short of a complete disaster, the mysterious third spinoff will hit your screen soon — possibly as early as fall of 2025.

And there’s been talk of additional TBBT spinoffs, including one centering on Kunal Nayyar‘s Raj character.

So it looks like the TBBT universe will continue to expand for the foreseeable future.

The end of Yellowstone is approaching, and TV Fanatic has rounded up everything there is to know about the final episodes. Get all the scoop inside.

The post Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Photos, Premiere Date and CBS Showing, Teaser & More! appeared first on TV Fanatic.

We first started this trip with everything we know about Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 in the middle of 2023.

While we finally have a premiere date, news about spinoffs and what happens next constantly fluctuates. There’s even a special showing of the Part 2 premiere on CBS!

Let’s take a look at what we know so far.

Has Yellowstone Been Renewed?

Yellowstone has not been renewed. But it might not be canceled, either.

The unknown world we’re in now was the result of behind-the-scenes drama between series creator Taylor Sheridan and Dutton patriarch Kevin Costner.

Initially, it was alleged that Kevin Costner didn’t want to commit to filming six more episodes, with reports claiming he gave a small window of availability.

The actor’s representatives shut down those claims, claiming Sheridan hadn’t completed scripts, pushing filming beyond reason. It was then revealed that the series would end following Yellowstone Season 5.

(Paramount Network)

That wasn’t always the plan, and it was likely a decision made when it seemed like the show couldn’t continue in its current form with the behind-the-scenes drama.

The series was allegedly meant to have seven seasons so that the story could have a natural finish.

It’s quite possible that will come to pass. At the very least, it’s a solid bet that the show will continue, taking our favorite characters along for the ride.

We even have an idea of how they can stretch the Dutton family turmoil to include black sheep Jamie.

If we have those ideas, we’re pretty sure Sheridan does, too.

When Will Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Premiere?

Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 9 will premiere on Sunday, November 10, 2024.

It’s been a long wait that will be a little longer, and we really have no idea what’s ahead. A first-look compilation photo doesn’t give away much other than that Jamie is still breathing and holding press conferences.

Of course, Kevin Costner is absent, and the lead image features the future of the franchise: Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.

With the series pivoting so dramatically from the first part of Season 5, our minds race with possibilities. We’re not sure if that increases the excitement for the return, mounting anxiety for a good (Season? Series?) finish, or a little of both.

Will Kevin Costner Return for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?

Kevin Costner will not return for the final season.

Whether that’s a good decision on his part remains to be seen, but his apparent reason for not committing to the end is his four-part historical big-screen epic, the Horizon saga.

Part One was not a hit, and since he financed the movies himself to a good degree, leaving Yellowstone to pursue his passion was a huge gamble.

At this point, we can’t imagine what this means for the show. How will John Dutton’s story end? Only Sheridan and the cast know.

At the end of Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 8, tensions were high, and as Jamie clashed with his family once again, it didn’t seem like a stretch that he’d kill John. After all, he’d already killed his birth father. What’s another dead father figure?

Father Daughter Talk - Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 5
(Paramount Network)

While it could also make sense not to kill off the patriarch, the universe Sheridan created thrives on unexpected deaths, and when a man feels he’s been wronged, what’s a better way to get over it than to kill him off the most popular series of the last decade?

Of course, the men could get together over a cup of coffee, and everything would change. That’s how life is. You never know until you know.

If that happens, I expect it will be a very tightly held secret to ensure that if anything falls apart, it won’t be another massive disappointment for fans.

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Cast

Thanks to its sprawling storylines, Yellowstone has one of the biggest ensembles on the small screen.

– Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton

Kelly Reilly as Bethany Dutton

– Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton

– Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler

– Denim Richards as Colby Mayfield

– Ian Bohen as Ryan

– Finn Little as Carter

– Ryan Bingham as Walker

Jen Landon as Teeter

– Kathryn Kelly as Emily

– Mo Brings Plenty as Mo

– Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater  

Teeter Ropes - Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 4
(Paramount Network)

As we said, it’s a stacked cast.

We decided not to remove Kevin Costner entirely. We can remove those strikeout lines or his entire entry when the reality is revealed.

But Costner’s departure doesn’t mean the end of John Dutton. Josh Lucas, who has played young John Dutton since Yellowstone Season 1, told Deadline he reached out to Sheridan, and the door has not been shut on his return.

Lucas’s portrayal of the younger Dutton has been fantastic, and we’re thrilled to hear that he might return.

Is Yellowstone Canceled?

Ever since the news of the show’s demise, reports emerged that a spinoff with Matthew McConaughey was in the works. Well, sources now reveal that was never even close to being a reality.

There was also discussion about Michelle Pfeiffer taking on a role in the spinoff, but recent news emerged that she’s starring in a different Seridan series, The Madison, and casting is now underway.

There was word of still another spinoff coming, starring Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes who were all reportedly close to finalizing deals, but even that has changed.

The latest word on the street is that they’re considering uncanceling Yellowstone. Honestly, we don’t know what to believe anymore!

How Many Episodes Have Been Ordered for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?

While many thought we were getting six more episodes, Taylor Sheridan hinted it could be bigger.

“If I think it takes ten episodes to wrap it up, they’ll give me ten,” Sheridan explained to The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023.

“It’ll be as long as it needs to be.”

Unless something has changed, it now seems that the number of episodes will cap at six. That’s not the greatest news for fans, but if Sheridan is happy with how the story concludes and is willing to continue it with the Dutton children, we’re here for it!

Is There a Trailer for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?

Rip on Horseback - Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 1
(Paramount Network)

At first, there were numerous teasers, but none featured new footage.

Given the secrecy surrounding how these final episodes will unfold, it’s hard to imagine a trailer that wouldn’t give away too much, spoiling the viewer experience.

How do you promote final episodes after such a wild pivot? That’s not an easy question to answer.

The PR team started out by offering this sort of content.

But recently, they delivered a teaser for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 that actually features some new footage.

It still doesn’t tell us much, but that’s to be expected.

Hey, we’re just happy to see Costner back on the Dutton Ranch, probably for the final time.

Check out the full teaser below:

Where Can I Watch Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?

Yellowstone is a Paramount Network original series, so you’ll need cable to watch it live.

However, CBS has decided to air the Part 2 premiere on CBS the same night as it airs on Paramount Network, albeit in a later time slot at 10/9c after an episode of Tracker. Yellowstone’s special appearance will preempt an episode of The Equalizer until a later date.

Given the series’ huge success, they don’t exactly need to spread the love, but they did air Yellowstone Seasons 1 and 2 on CBS very successfully.

Of course, if you watch on CBS, expect it to be a little bit different than the Paramount Network version. The series is known for its ribald language, which will need to be cleaned up for CBS.

Lace up your cleats and strap on your helmet because a new season of All American is coming at you like a Hail Mary in the final seconds of a tied fourth quarter.

Sorry, we tend to go overboard with the football metaphors when we’re talking about this show!

But in all seriousness, All American Season 7 has been confirmed, and we have the latest news surrounding the cast of the CW‘s beloved sports drama.

Deadline reported today that Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou, and Bre-Z will all be returning as series regulars

Additionally, Antonio J. Bell (Khalil) and Alexis Chikaeze (Amina) have both been promoted to series regulars.

And that’s not all! Osy Ikhile and Nathaniel McIntyre will join the cast in newly created roles.

But here’s the real kicker (football pun intended): Samantha Logan (Olivia), Cody Christian (Asher), Karimah Westbrook (Grace James), Monét Mazur (Laura Baker) and Chelsea Tavares (Patience) are all leaving the series.

Needless to say, this show will look very different in its seventh season!

Still the news of all these new and returning stars likely comes as a comfort to All American fans who were feeling nervous about the show’s future following Daniel Ezra’s departure.

While there’s been a bad trend of lead characters being sloppily written off of shows in recent years, Ezra’s send-off was mostly satisfying.

We got to see his character, Spencer James, make it to the NFL, win the Super Bowl, and get married.

Endings don’t get much happier than that!

And in news that’s sure to delight All American fans, Deadline is reporting that Ezra will return for guest appearances and is slated to direct at least one episode.

Otherwise, the show will be returning to its high school roots.

“Season 7 is taking it back to where it all began: Beverly Hills High and South Crenshaw High.

Asher's Big News All American Season 6 Episode 13
(Troy Harvey/The CW )

“It’s the same heart, same NFL dream, same crosstown rivalry, same messy hormones, ushered in by a new generation of LA teens, a new Beverly Coach, and our OG vortex fam, who are surprised to find they’re supposed to be the responsible adults now.”

Some fans were baffled by the CW’s decision to renew All American after the show had so neatly wrapped up its main characters’ storylines.

But with quality programming in short supply these days, we’re willing to give the show’s multi-generational approach a chance.

After all, every promising rookie needs a vet to mentor them, and the show’s newcomers might benefit from joining such a talented cast.

What do you think, TV fanatics? Is All American still your MVP, or is it time for this series to hit the showers?
