Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Amiah Miller, Alaina Pollack, Ben Schnetzer, Rebecca Spence, Danielle Vasinova and Kevin Zegers co-star.
The “Yellowstone” spin-off is dubbed a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.

The White Lotus
France will reportedly serve as the vacation destination for the cast members of the fourth season of Mike White’s “The White Lotus” at HBO. No official location within France has been confirmed as of yet, though once again a Four Seasons hotel somewhere in the country is expected to serve as the show’s base.
There are three potentials – one is in Paris, one is in the French Alps and one is on the Riviera. White has previously indicated he wants to move away from the beach-style setting of the previous three seasons. [Source: Deadline]
Landman
Paramount+ has released a teaser trailer for the second season of its Billy Bob Thornton-led and Taylor Sheridan-produced series “Landman” which returns November 16th. Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Sam Elliott, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, and Michelle Randolph co-star.
Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, this is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. The series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping climate, economy, and geopolitics.
