Every Sunday, CBS shows Tracker and Marshals are scheduled to air at a certain time yet are always delayed — but what has caused the consistent change?

Viewers have tuned in weekly to see Luke Grimes‘ Yellowstone spinoff at 8 p.m with  Justin Hartley solving a new mystery at 9 p.m. and Watson following up at 10 p.m. The timing, however, is always pushed because CBS is home to football broadcasts — and 60 Minutes specials.

Since NFL games usually run long, this impacts the 60 Minutes special that always follows. As a result, everything else gets pushed back and, well, you get the idea.

Tracker was plagued with delays during its first season, due to live events like March Madness and the CMT Music Awards. The show still found a way to be coined the most-watched broadcast premiere since NCIS‘ final episode with Mark Harmon in September 2021. Its average viewership was reported to be 18.2 million per episode, according to Paramount+ and broadcast measurements.

Variety‘s annual list of the year’s 100 most-watched primetime telecasts revealed that Tracker episodes earned 15 top spots. Despite making Us wait 11 weeks for new episodes, the second season dominated viewership with the season 2 premiere bringing in 8.3 million total viewers — a nearly 10 percent increase in viewership from the season 1 finale. The season 2 premiere also marked the show’s highest audience since the series debuted in February 2024 after the Super Bowl.

Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, is centered around a survivalist named Colter (Hartley) who travels the country helping to solve a variety of mysteries. Hartley, 48, recently spoke about how Tracker’s success has paved the way for more opportunities.

“It’s really the cool show now, right? So, we actually got really lucky. I feel like I blinked, all of a sudden woke up and it’s been 20 years. But I’ve been in this business long enough to have developed these relationships,” he told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. “When you see the people on our show that are familiar faces and actors you know, like Jensen Ackles and my wife [Sofia Pernas], these are relationships I’ve had for a long time. I was really grateful I was able to do that.”

He continued: “I think they trusted me knowing I’m not going to call them and ask them to do something, or invite them to do something unless I think it’s really cool and fun and would be good for them as well. So we start off on that foot, and then this show became what it is. It’s huge. People think it’s cool and want to be a part of it, which is also nice because it allows you to get a bigger pool of talent.”

Ahead of the show’s season finale, Hartley promised to deliver some surprises.

“You are going to get the last five episodes in a row. So, you’re getting five separate movies. We call them little movies. As we’re inching closer to the end of the season, we creep closer and closer to the mystery of what the hell happened to Colter’s father,” he teased. “How did he die? Was there in fact another man in the woods? Did he get pushed? Did he get killed? Was it an accident? What the hell is going on with that?”

Hartley confirmed there was already a possible story planned for season 3, adding, “Now we’re in new territory. We have a couple of ideas. One of these is that Colter has all of these skills — he’s a survivalist and he knows how to be alone, and he knows how to find people and he’s gifted in that regard. He’s a great listener.”

The actor concluded: “But it would be interesting, I think, to see him be set up. In other words, to see him using all those skills to run from the authorities, because you’ve been set up for whatever reason. I’d love to have all that tie into the family background, the government. So, we’ll see. We’ve been kicking that idea around. We have a lot of different stuff that we’re talking about. We have the underlying theme of what we’re going to do next year, while not really changing the direction of where our story is going.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET while Tracker follows at 9 p.m. ET and Watson at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt is preparing to walk down the wedding aisle after announcing her engagement to boyfriend Derek Green.

“It was always you,” Hunt, 27, wrote via a joint Instagram post shared on Saturday, April 4, announcing their engagement alongside a slew of photos featuring Green, 26, and the pair — including her now fiancé on one knee — during the monumental moment.

Hunt could be seen wearing a floor-length, sleeveless white dress for the special occasion, while Green decided to wear a dapper light gray suit. The pair, who enjoyed an outdoor proposal at an altar decorated adorned with white flowers and matching candles, were also pictured holding hands after Hunt said “yes.”

While the proposal itself appeared to be an intimate affair — complete with a show-stopping emerald-cut engagement ring encrusted with white diamonds and an emerald stone — the newly-engaged pair were later joined with some of their most nearest and dearest to celebrate their impending nuptials.

Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt is teasing a new romance after recently hinting that she and Cody Keith had split. “After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place … all along there was some invisible string,” Gracie, 26, captioned an Instagram Story post on Saturday, April 5. Her arms were wrapped around a mystery […]

Hunt’s father, Clark Hunt, as well as her mom, Tavia Hunt, were in attendance, in addition to Green’s parents, Trent Green and Julie Green.

Gracie and Green — who hard-launched their relationship in May 2025 — have been “friends since 2017,” according to the heiress. (Gracie is a member of one of the wealthiest families in the United States, with a net worth reportedly valued at around $3 billion, according to Sports Illustrated.)

In July 2025, Gracie revealed she was “dating my best friend” via an Instagram post featuring Kansas City Chiefs WAG and pop superstar Taylor Swift’s hit song “You Belong With Me.” (Swift, for her part, famously got engaged to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in August of that same year.)

Prior to the pair’s social media debut, Gracie teased her relationship in an April 2025 Instagram video that she since-deleted.

“After meeting 7.5 years ago in this place… all along there was some invisible string,” she reportedly wrote over the video, according to the New York Post. In the deleted video, Gracie was reportedly seen wrapping her arms around Green, whose identity remained a mystery at the time as Gracie declined to publicly reveal his name.

Green responded to the pair’s engagement announcement, writing in the comments section, “FOREVER AND EVER” along with two red heart emojis.

Plenty of A-list friends also shared their congratulations in the comments section.

Josh Dallas reunited with Manifest‘s Melissa Roxburgh but would he consider working with her again — except this time on Justin Hartley‘s hit series Tracker?

Dallas and Roxburgh shared the screen in the neatest episode of NBC’s The Hunting Party, which the actress has starred in since 2025. She also appears as Hartley’s onscreen sister on CBS’ Tracker, which Dallas is a fan of as well.

“100 percent. I’d love if Justin would have me,” Dallas exclusively told Us Weekly during a joint interview. “I’d be there in a second.”

Tracker, which premiered in February 2024, is centered around a survivalist named Colter (Hartley) who travels the country helping to solve a variety of mysteries. Hartley’s role as an executive producer has allowed him to surprise viewers with exciting guest stars such as Roxburgh, Sofia Pernas, Jensen Ackles, Jennifer Morrison and more.

Despite introducing Roxburgh as Colter’s sister, Dory, and Ackles as Colter’s brother, Russell, it remained unclear whether the Shaw siblings could reunite again. By the time production on season 2 started, Ackles booked several other roles while Roxburgh became the lead on NBC’s The Hunting Party.

“I had so much fun on that show,” Roxburgh told Us in February 2025. “Justin is great. It’s such a lovely and warm set [because] Justin does such a good job of making it that way. So I’d love to go back. Justin is a friend and it’s nice to play with your friends and I love the show, so we’ll see.”

As the cases have grown more complex, Colter has received help […]

For now, Roxburgh is focused on her show, which has found even more success after streaming on Netflix.

“I was open to anything after Manifest since that was so specific. It was very sci-fi and there were so many extraordinary events happening in that show that I was like, ‘Anything else will be different,’” Roxburgh previously told Us about booking her first role after leading the cast of Netflix’s Manifest. “So when this came up, I thought it was cool. I do love profiling and I love psychology. So this character obviously does that full-time for a job and she does it for very interesting and unique killers.”

The Hunting Party airs on NBC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET and new episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.

Scottie Scheffler and his wife, Meredith Scudder, welcomed a second baby boy into their family — and what better place to make the announcement than the iconic Masters Tournament?

Scheffler introduced his 9-day-old son, Remy, to the Augusta National crowd ahead of the coveted tournament, according to a Sunday, April 5, report from Associated Press golf writer Doug Ferguson.

The Masters is scheduled to run from Thursday, April 9 until Sunday, April 12.

“Another boy for the Schefflers (Remy),” Ferguson posted via X. “The little fella is 9 days old and already at the Masters.”

Scheffler, 29, told the Associated Press that Remy was born on March 27.

He and Scudder also have another son, Bennett, who was born in May 2024. Bennett was born just weeks after Scheffler won his second Masters tournament.

At the end of March, the World No. 1 golfer abruptly withdrew from the Houston Open tournament due to the imminent birth of his son. Now that Remy has officially been welcomed into the fold, Scheffler is expected to return to the tee box in time to compete for another Masters title.

He told the AP that, despite having some time off over the last few weeks, he’s found ways to stay sharp.

“I’ve been practicing,” Scheffler said. “I’ve been able to do a good amount at home.”

Scheffler has separated his personal life with his golf life, but has spoken on the importance of being a dad.

“I love being a father,” he said in June 2025. “I love being able to take care of my son. I love being able to provide for my family out here playing golf. Every day when I wake up early to go put in the work, my wife thanks me for going out and working so hard.”

He continued, “When I get home, I try and thank her every day for taking care of our son. It’s why I talk about family being my priority, because it really is. I’m blessed to be able to come out here and play golf. But if golf ever started affecting my home life or it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, that’s going to be the last day that I play out here for a living.”

President Donald Trump signed a second executive order in an attempt to “fix” college sports — this one coming on the heels of the biggest weekend of the year for NCAA basketball.

The White House announced on Friday, April 3, that the latest executive order is focused on transfer and eligibility rules for college athletes, potentially limiting how those athletes can be compensated for their name, image and likeness (NIL).

The order also creates policies that prevent schools from cutting scholarships or other opportunities for women’s and Olympic sports in order to pay their athletes.

Schools that violate the executive order could face financial penalties from the federal government.

President Donald Trump claims he will sign an executive order to keep the annual Army-Navy college football game in an exclusive time slot, protecting it from any potential College Football Playoff expansion. “The Army-Navy Game is one of our Greatest American Traditions – Unmatched Patriotism, Courage, and Honor! This incredible Tradition is now at risk […]

Whether or not the new executive order is legal is still up for debate.

The order comes just under a month after Trump hosted a college sports roundtable, which included more than 50 people in politics, business, and college and professional sports discussing the future of college athletics.

During that meeting, Trump promised to sign an executive order “because that’s the only way this is going to be solved.”

“So I’m going to sit down, and I’m going to write an executive order based on many of the sentiments made [at the meeting], many of the sentiments I’ve been hearing over the last year about what a disaster this is for colleges, the players, the families, ruining families, ruining everything,” Trump said at the time.

Friday’s executive order limits athletes to one unrestricted transfer as an undergraduate student, as well as college eligibility to five years. It would not take effect until August 1.

“College sports cannot function without clear, agreed-upon rules concerning pay-for-play and player eligibility that can’t be endlessly challenged in court, as is the case now,” the White House said in a Friday news release regarding the order.

Multiple lawyers and college sports experts who spoke to ESPN said they believe the executive order will be deemed unconstitutional and unenforceable if – or when – it is challenged in court.

Even Trump himself — during that March meeting with college sports executives — admitted that his administration would likely be sued over the order.

It’s not the first time Trump has used the threat of pulling federal funding from colleges as a so-called negotiating tactic. In September, he threatened to withhold funds from Harvard University, but a federal judge deemed the order illegal.

Despite the questions of the order’s legality and enforceability, multiple NCAA conferences have released statements in support of the order, including the Big Ten.

“The Big Ten Conference would like to thank President Trump for his leadership and continuing efforts to protect college athletics and joins him in urging Congress to quickly pass legislation addressing the critical issues undermining its long-term stability,” said Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti in a Friday statement.

He continued, “Consistent with President Trump’s executive order, the bipartisan SCORE Act thoughtfully addresses name, image, and likeness for student-athletes, protecting academic and athletic opportunities provided through women’s and Olympic sports programs, and expands resources to support student-athletes on and off the field. We will continue to work with a broad coalition of college sports stakeholders and members of Congress to enact this legislation.”

Rumer Willis is pulling back the curtain on the realities of breastfeeding a toddler — and addressing those who disagree in the process.

“When someone starts judging my parenting,” Willis, 37, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, April 4, over a video of the proud mom breastfeeding her nearly 3-year-old daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis.

In the video, Willis can be seen holding her child in her arms and stroking her hair while she nurses. (Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, shares daughter Lou with her ex boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.)

The video then abruptly cuts to a woman in front of a white board, drawing two circles to signify “my business” and “your business.”

“This is my business. And this is yours. I am here,” the woman says, marking an “X” inside one circle. “The problem is, you are also here, when you need to be here.”

The women, who drew another x inside the same “my business circle,” then drew a line and arrow to the empty circle — in other words, people need to stay out of “my business” and solely inside their own.

While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends moms breastfeed up to the second year of their child’s life — while also incorporating other necessary nutrients, including solid foods and other fluids when age-appropriate — moms are often judged, shamed and ridiculed for openly breastfeeding their infants and children.

In 2019, Coco Austin hit back at critics after they shamed her for breastfeeding her and Ice-T’s daughter, Chanel, when she was nearly 4. (Austin, 47, breastfed her daughter until age 6.)

“[You] need to have a baby to understand it,” the actress exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, days after she shared a candid breastfeeding photo via social media.

“What I think confuses people is they saw the picture and they think Chanel doesn’t eat food,” Ice-T (real name Tracy Lauren Marrow) added in defense of Austin. “And she eats cheeseburgers. She only breastfeeds … like, when she cries [and] she just wants to get close to her mama. She throws the boob out and … holds on. She’s not doing it for nourishment. This chick eats chili fries, OK?”

Austin further explained that her decision to continue to breastfeed her daughter well into toddlerhood wasn’t just about nutrition, but about love.

Brandi Glanville is sharing her reaction to LeAnn Rimes‘ jaw release therapy video that went viral, giving fans a candid glimpse into her thoughts. The two women have a long history, with Eddie Cibrian, Glanville’s ex-husband, leaving her for the country crooner. Glanville’s response adds another entertaining moment to their long-standing public history.

Brandi Glanville Wonders Why The Singer Shared The Video

On March 29, holistic wellness company Human Garage posted an Instagram video of Rimes undergoing deep jaw release therapy, wherein the singer was left in an emotional mess after the process.

Several days later, Glanville talked about the viral video on her podcast, “Unfiltered,” sharing her reaction. “I don’t understand why I saw it,” she told her co-host, James Maas, that she’s had the same procedure done “a million times” for her TMJ disorder, which causes jaw pain and headaches.

The “Real Housewives” alum admitted that the process was “very painful,” but said that she has a high threshold of pain. Maas said that Rimes looked happy and relieved afterward, to which Glanville asked, “I just don’t know why you share that.”

Did The Reality Star Throw Shade At LeAnn Rimes?

Rimes has been open about her dental problems, which she said began in her teens after she received veneers. The deep jaw release therapy may have been part of the singer’s wellness journey, as she also underwent an expensive treatment to “clear micro-toxins” after her teeth fell out during a concert, as reported by PEOPLE.

“She’s sharing all of her health journey at the moment,” Maas told Glanville. After a pause, Glanville said, “Oh, like me.” With a shrug, she added, “So weird.” Maas chose not to comment on his co-host’s statement, instead saying, “And I’m staying right out of that one.”

“Well, I hope she feels better. Um, yeah… and yeah. That was that on that,” Glanville said before moving on to another topic.

Brandi Glanville And LeAnn Rimes’ History

Glanville and Rimes have a rocky history. The former was married to Eddie Cibrian from 2001 until 2009, when they announced their separation. Cibrian admitted to having an affair with Rimes while they worked on a movie together, and they married in 2011.

In an op-ed she wrote for The Sun in 2021, Glanville looked back at that difficult moment. “It was so public. Everyone felt sorry for me and wanted to hug me. But I wanted to punch everyone in the face. I couldn’t turn on the TV without seeing something about them. LeAnn had taken over my life and I didn’t have a voice any more,” she wrote.

It took years, but the reality TV star said she eventually forgave Rimes. “She’s great and we all hang out together. I’ve forgiven her. We’re going to be around each other for ever because of the kids, so why not make the best of it?” she wrote then.

Glanville On Co-Parenting With Her Ex And His Wife

Since burying the hatchet, Glanville said that she and Rimes get on better, at one point even describing their relationship as “like sister wives.” She and Cibrian share two sons together, 22-year-old Mason and 18-year-old Jake.

What opened Glanville’s heart to forgiveness was when their sons said that they just wanted “everyone to get along.” The reality star revealed, “Eddie and I still squabble, but it’s like the three of us are doing the parenting – it’s nice to have a third person and she’s usually on my side.”

They still experience hiccups, however, as Glanville revealed in 2025 that she had a big fight with Cibrian about their younger son’s 18th birthday celebration, which she said she wasn’t invited to. “I wasn’t invited to my own son’s birthday party. LeAnn’s his wife, she takes his side. I texted her about something else, but she didn’t reply,” Glanville shared.

Brandi Glanville Remains Single

Glanville has remained single since her divorce from Cibrian. She dated on and off over the years, but she largely focused on her career and health. As previously reported by The Blast, she underwent life-saving surgery to fix the cause of her years-long health issue.

For years, Glanville didn’t know what was causing the lumps on her face and neck, as well as joint pain. It was eventually discovered that her ruptured breast implant was the problem. Her health has drastically improved after the surgery, and it seems she’s ready to find love again.

Amid the Taylor Frankie Paul fiasco, the 53-year-old tweeted, “Now that I’m all better I think it’s time for me to embrace my age & become the golden bachelorette. I have no rap sheet & no domestic violence charges,” shading Paul.

Nothing beats a good thriller for an adrenaline rush. Over the years, the genre has continually evolved. Whether it’s classic staples like The Silence of the Lambs or more recent whodunits like Knives Out, thrillers give audiences something to latch onto as they follow the lead character working to crack the case. However, a great thriller isn’t necessarily about the case itself.

Blood, weapons, and victims aside, a thriller is a study of human behavior. It’s not every day people are haunted by murder. These situations prompt characters to take on the most questionable choices, which typically result in an unsavory consequence. Although many thrillers have found success on screen, some deserve far more attention in today’s discourse. Without further ado, here are 10 relentless thriller movies that no one remembers today.

1

‘The Chaser’ (2008)

Image via Showbox

A disgraced ex-detective turned pimp, Eom Joong-ho (Kim Yoon-seok), finds himself in a race against time when one of his women disappears after meeting a suspicious client. With more and more of his girls going missing, Joong-ho is pushed deeper into financial trouble. Little does he know that a psychotic killer is on the loose.

There’s a reason why it’s called The Chaser. Given only 12 hours, Joong-ho scrambles to find anything that could put the suspect behind bars. All while this is happening, the suspect waits eerily calm in custody. What makes the film all the more biting is how Joong-ho ends up outpacing the actual police, who are too caught up in bureaucracy to do their job.

2

‘Prisoners’ (2013)

Image via Warner Bros

After a Thanksgiving dinner, six-year-old Anna Dover (Erin Gerasimovich) and her friend Joy Birch (Kyla-Drew Simmons) vanish. Suspecting Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a mentally impaired RV owner briefly detained and released, father Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) abducts and tortures him for answers. As Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) tracks hidden leads, he learns that Alex might not be the one responsible.

Jackman is arguably most famous for his role as Wolverine in the MCU. While the superhero is already a stern character, few could expect the level of intensity Jackman delivers in Prisoners. Unlike a cop chasing after victims, a father searching for his missing children is a different kind of desperation — one that pushes Keller to break the law in pursuit of justice.

3

‘Michael Clayton’ (2007)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Michael Clayton (George Clooney), a burned-out “fixer” for a powerful New York law firm, is sent to contain a crisis when star litigator Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) suffers a breakdown during a $3 billion lawsuit against agrochemical giant U-North. As Arthur insists the company is guilty, Clayton discovers a corporate cover-up and a pool of debt. Unfortunately, he’s got bigger problems ahead.

Michael Clayton is a story of maintaining integrity in one of the most corrupt institutions: corporate America. Clayton himself is no innocent man, as he has a history of doing everything from shoplifting to bending congressmen to get what he wants. But if there’s anything Clayton refuses to be, it’s a scapegoat.

4

‘The Pledge’ (2001)

On the eve of retirement, detective Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson) vows to a grieving mother he’ll catch her daughter’s killer. Linking similar murders of young blonde girls, he buys a remote gas station to stake out a suspect — a man in a black station wagon called “the wizard.” As he forms a bond with a local girl, he ultimately uses her to bait the killer.

At the core of The Pledge is a detective’s final promise. That promise determines whether Jerry can truly leave his life in law enforcement behind. Although the film revolves around finding a killer, it is ultimately about the weight of a moral obligation. Failure to fulfill it will undo everything he has worked for over the years leading up to his retirement.

5

‘Tell No One’ (2006)

Eight years after his wife Margot’s brutal murder, pediatrician Alexandre Beck (François Cluzet) becomes a suspect again when two bodies are found near the original crime scene. On the same day, he receives a video showing Margot alive, with a warning to tell no one. As police close in, Alexandre goes on the run, following secret messages that lead him to a staged death.

Tell No One has a premise similar to Netflix’s His & Hers, in the sense that everyone is keeping secrets from each other. There are many versions of the truth, and each is delivered convincingly. What’s painful is that most of the people involved are victims of the elite, who think they can control anyone they want — until they are bloodily proven otherwise.

6

‘Frailty’ (2001)

Image via 20th Century Studios

A man named Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) approaches FBI agent Wesley Doyle (Powers Boothe), claiming his brother Adam is the “God’s Hand” killer. As told through flashbacks, he recounts a childhood shaped by their father’s belief that he was chosen to kill demons disguised as humans. As Fenton leads Doyle to buried bodies, they learn what’s actually going on behind their father’s “visions.”

Frailty stands out thanks to its use of religious imagery, offering something that feels refreshingly unsettling in the thriller genre. Basing one’s murderous intentions on a sign from “God” can be a touch too blasphemous for audiences, but the risk pays off. Although Frailty takes it to extremes with the concept of being divinely instructed to kill, religious fanaticism is not unheard of.

7

‘A Simple Plan’ (1998)

Image via Paramount Pictures

Hank (Bill Paxton), his dim-witted brother Jacob (Billy Bob Thornton), and their friend Lou (Brent Briscoe) discover a crashed plane containing $4.4 million of what is likely drug money. Hank insists on hiding it until authorities find the wreck. With encouragement from his manipulative wife, Sarah (Bridget Fonda), mistrust grows. After Jacob impulsively kills a passing neighbor, the plan escalates into violence as the FBI pursues an investigation.

They say money is a good servant but a bad master, and that idea plays out clearly in A Simple Plan. The film observes how the bond between three close men begins to dissolve once a large sum of money quite literally falls at their feet, pushing them to betray one another. With $4.4 million, it seems like there’s much to share, but some people just want everything to themselves.

8

‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ (2009)

Retired Argentine investigator Benjamín Espósito (Ricardo Darín) revisits the 1970s rape and murder of Liliana Coloto (Carla Quevedo) while writing a novel to find closure. Haunted by the case’s unresolved ending, he reconnects with former colleagues, including Irene Menéndez-Hastings (Soledad Villamil), his longtime unspoken love. As he retraces the pursuit of suspect Isidoro Gómez (Javier Godino), Espósito looks back at a criminal whose fate remains hanging in the air.

The Secret in Their Eyes shows one alarming point about the judicial system: it is not perfect. The bleak reality is that certain individuals within the institution have no real interest in bringing justice. Some are more invested in keeping criminals untouched so they can be used for their own self-interests. More importantly, The Secret in Their Eyes shows that police cases can take years — even decades — to be resolved. Justice is often heartbreaking; rarely is it heroic.

‘Wind River’ (2017)

On the frozen Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, tracker Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) discovers the body of a young Native American woman. Rookie FBI agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) arrives and partners with Cory, covering everything from the unpredictably harsh terrain to limited authority. As evidence of assault emerges, everything comes down to the victim’s unknown boyfriend.

Wind River addresses one of America’s biggest yet overshadowed crises: missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Many of these cases stem from a lack of authoritative resources and the sheer difficulty of the terrain. It is a no-man’s land in Wyoming, and as shown through Cory’s and Jane’s investigative methods, there is no single “correct” approach to police work in places where the law is no longer relevant.

Between 1968 and 1983, a San Francisco cartoonist becomes obsessed with identifying the mysterious Zodiac Killer, who terrorizes Northern California with cryptic letters and murders. As investigators and journalists pursue leads, the case consumes their lives. Cartoonist Robert Graysmith’s (Gyllenhaal) fixation strains his career and family, but he’s already so close to figuring out the decades-long mystery.

Zodiac is more about Robert’s obsession with solving the case than the case itself. Every time Robert seems to gain the upper hand, his efforts ultimately end in failure. Audiences are taken through Robert’s investigative highs and lows, riding on a wild momentum that doesn’t seem to end. Meanwhile, the killer barely makes an appearance, but whether it’s through letters or coded messages, he knows how to make a scene.

Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie shared a candid Easter 2026 message, questioning the depth of the Christian Jesus’ suffering amid her mother, Nancy Guthrie’s, ongoing disappearance.

“Good morning, everybody. Happy Easter,” Guthrie said while attending Good Shepherd New York’s digital Easter service on Sunday, April 5, per Variety. “And Easter is happy. It is flowers and pastels and baby bunnies. It is sunshine and joy and hope. It is rebirth and second chances and new life and fresh starts. It is the most important day of the year for all of us who believe, even more than Christ’s birth, more than his death. His resurrection, his second birth into a permanent life, that is what is most crucial to us. His revival and resurrection means the same for us. We celebrate today the promise of a new life that never ends in death.”

She continued, “But standing here today, I have to tell you, there are moments in which that promise seems irretrievably far away, when life itself seems far harder than death. These moments of deep disappointment with God, the feeling of utter abandonment for most of us, there will come a time in our life when these feelings hold sway.”

After the Guthrie family’s matriarch went missing on January 31, Guthrie told the congregation that she has experienced her own “season of trial,” much like the Christian Jesus Christ.

Savannah Guthrie opened up about how she’s leaned on her faith amid the ongoing search for her mom, Nancy Guthrie. “My faith is strong and resolute,” Savannah, 54, said during her sit-down interview with Hoda Kotb on the Thursday, March 26, episode of the Today show. “But I early on felt — and I heard […]

“Jesus, in his short life, experienced every single emotion that we humans can feel,” she continued, before she openly “questioned whether Jesus really ever experienced this particular wound that I feel — this grievous and uniquely cruel injury of not knowing, of uncertainty and confusion and answers withheld in those darkest moments.”

“But after Jesus died, after he breathed his last, what did he actually know on the cross? He cried out, ‘My God, my God. Why have you forsaken me?’ That is the anguished cry of someone who does not know the answers,” Guthrie added. “Where did his soul and his spirit go in those days in between? And what was he thinking? Did he think his time in the grave would be a day or two, or 1000 years in the grave? Does his agony seem indefinite to him? That torment of uncertainty, the way indefinite pain can feel eternal. Perhaps he did know this feeling after all.”

Guthrie, who is scheduled to return to the Today show on Monday, April 6, then openly questioned if her pondering was “too dark a message to share on Easter morning.”

“But I have long believed that we miss out on fully celebrating resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and yes, death,” she added. “It is the darkness that makes this morning’s light so magnificent, so blindly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed.”
