Dutton Ranch‘s Finn Little is warning viewers to be “very worried” about the season 1 finale of the Yellowstone spinoff.

During a joint interview with Natalie Alyn Lind exclusively for Us Weekly, Little, 20, poked fun at offscreen concerns, joking, “At least three people — is it three or four people that die in the finale?”

Lind, 26, for her part, remained more tight-lipped.

“I don’t want to give anything away,” she said to Us before adding, “Nobody dies. Everybody dies. .. Oh, wait, they’re all dead.”

Yellowstone initially introduced viewers to the Dutton family in 2018. The Paramount Network show came to an end in 2024, expanding its universe with Luke Grimes’ CBS show Marshals and Dutton Ranch, which premiered in May.

Earlier this month, cast member Marc Menchaca weighed in on whether the deadly twists on the show had him worried about his character Zachariah’s fate. “It’s always a possibility — and I have a pretty good track record of saying bye-bye on a show,” he told Us.

Menchaca, 50, poked fun at his bad luck on screen.

“My wife [Lena Headey] made a death reel for me for my birthday this last year. It was about 10 minutes and it didn’t even have all my deaths,” he quipped. “So I was a little bit [worried].”

He continued: “I was like, ‘They may take me out so I better get on everybody’s good side.’ Hopefully, it won’t happen but the way things are now, you get these scripts just a little bit before. Then you start going through and you’re like, ‘Is it gonna happen next scene?’ Thankfully it has not [yet].”

Juan Pablo Raba, meanwhile, recalled the moment he was worried about his future on the show.

“When I got episode 6 and I opened the page and I see Chet walking to me with a gun, my first thought was, ‘Well, it was nice while it lasted,’” he quipped to Us. “I was like, ‘God, it was so short. But why didn’t they call me? That’s rude.’”

He continued: “You hope for the best and you hope it’s going to be a long run. But you really don’t know. I really hope we can really work this for many seasons because I think there’s so much story to tell.”

Dutton Ranch airs Fridays on Paramount+.

John Wick changed the action film landscape so thoroughly that it became a part of our cinematic lexicon … for example, when you want to describe a movie built around big celebrities, epic fights, and intricate worldbuilding, you might say something like “Nobody is Bob Odenkirk’s John Wick.” There is currently no shortage of these movie homages, and some are inevitably better than others. One of the best such films is Gunpowder Milkshake, a John Wick clone with a girl power twist now streaming on Netflix.

A Cross Between Fire Power And Star Power

What is Gunpowder Milkshake about, exactly? This is mostly the story of a veteran hit-woman who works for a mysterious organization and can handle almost any job with ease. But when she has to protect the young girl of one of her victim’s fathers, she must reunite with her estranged mother and recruit some unexpected allies if she wants to have any hope of survival.

As with the John Wick films, a large part of Gunpowder Milkshake’s appeal is its cast of quirky actors. Karen Gillan (best known as a fan-favorite Companion Amy on Doctor Who) plays our chief hit-woman protagonist, and Lena Headey (best known as Cersei on Game of Thrones) plays her estranged mother turned professional killer. Other big names in this great cast include Paul Giamatti as a shady assassin employer, and Michelle Yeoh as a member of a very special sisterhood of warriors.

A Perfect Mix Of Violence And Charisma

While it’s not quite as good as John Wick (more on this later), Gunpowder Milkshake does a good job of emulating that film’s best characteristics. For example, the fights are well-choreographed and complex, and every single bullet fired helps to propel the narrative relentlessly forward. All of the cast has great chemistry, and the organic worldbuilding in the script is reminiscent of killer action films like Mad Max: Fury Road. 

When Gunpowder Milkshake debuted on Netflix, it made a big splash, establishing itself as the most-watched film in America that week. This positive buzz was enough for a sequel to be announced in 2021, but there hasn’t been any real movement or announcements since then. Fingers crossed for more of this strange cinematic universe, but the lack of updates has me worried that this particular milkshake machine may be broken (the McDonald’s curse strikes again?).

Good, But Not Better Than The Best

Gunpowder Milkshake may have been a highly-streamed hit when it came out, but critics were a bit mixed in their opinions. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently has a 60 percent critical rating, meaning that it barely eked into “fresh” territory. Critics generally praised the colorful and entertaining universe and its stylish ultra-violence but noted that, like a more conventional milkshake, it might be nothing more than a sugar-filled rush of empty calories.

I think that’s a generally correct assessment, and I feel the same way about Gunpowder Milkshake. It’s not as good as John Wick, but that isn’t meant as a slam…if we’re being honest, that Keanu Reeves genre-defining classic is better than most movies. But this newer film notably manages to deliver Wick-style thrills and charismatic characters while taking some very big swings to establish its own unique cinematic identity.

GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE SCORE

Gunpowder Milkshake is ultimately a great film for anyone who likes great action scenes, and if you happen to love Gillan, Headey, and Yeoh (honestly, who doesn’t?), it’s even better. Of course, milkshakes aren’t for everyone, and you won’t know if this is your new favorite sugar bomb or just a bomb in general until you stream it on Netflix. Fair warning: if you’re a Doctor Who fan like me, you might spend half the movie singing “Amy’s got a gun” to the dulcet tones of Aerosmith.

Kim Scott, the ex-wife of rapper Eminem, is now the subject of an active arrest warrant after failing to appear in court for a hearing related to her recent DUI case. According to multiple reports, Scott missed a scheduled appearance on Wednesday in Macomb County District Court in Michigan, prompting prosecutors to request a bench warrant.

The latest legal development comes just weeks after Scott was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following a traffic crash.

Judge Issues Arrest Warrant After Kim Scott Missed Court Appearance

Scott was expected to appear before Judge William H. Hackel III on Wednesday for pretrial proceedings tied to her DUI case. However, after she failed to appear, prosecutors requested that a bench warrant be issued and that her previously posted release bond be forfeited. The judge granted the request, issuing an active arrest warrant and setting Scott’s bond at $10,000.

As of Wednesday, officials confirmed Scott had not yet been taken back into custody.

DUI Arrest Followed Michigan Crash

The missed hearing stems from Scott’s arrest on May 14 in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. According to authorities, Scott allegedly crashed her vehicle into another car the night before in nearby Detroit. She was taken into custody the following morning and booked into the Macomb County Jail on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The arrest marked yet another legal issue for Scott, who has faced several public struggles over the years.

Kim Scott Was Already Facing Charges From An Earlier Crash

The May arrest came only weeks after Scott entered a no-contest plea in a separate case connected to a February crash. According to reports, authorities alleged Scott drove her white Range Rover into a parked Dodge Ram on February 16.

Her son, Parker, and three of his friends were reportedly inside the vehicle at the time as they were heading out shopping. Investigators said the impact pushed the parked truck approximately 50 feet from where it had been sitting.

Scott was subsequently charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and failure to stop or identify after causing property damage.

Kim Scott And Eminem’s Relationship Played Out In The Public Eye

Scott and Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Mathers III, have one of the most well-known and turbulent relationships in hip-hop history. The pair first met as teenagers in 1987 before beginning an on-again, off-again romance that lasted for decades. They married for the first time in 1999 before divorcing in 2001. The former couple reconciled several years later and remarried in 2006, but their second marriage also ended in divorce later that same year.

Throughout his career, Eminem frequently referenced Scott and their complicated relationship in his music, making her one of the most recognizable figures connected to the rapper’s personal life.

When it comes to family, Scott and Eminem welcomed their daughter, Hailie Jade, in 1995. “Bein’ a dad is definitely living a double life,” Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2004. “Even before Hailie was born, I was a firm believer in freedom of speech … But once I hit them gates where I live, that’s when I’m Dad.”

Beyond Hailie, the rapper also helped raise several other children connected to Scott’s family. He adopted Stevie Laine Scott after reuniting with Kim in the mid-2000s. Stevie was born in 2002 during one of the periods when Scott and Eminem were separated. Eminem also adopted Alaina Marie Scott, the daughter of Kim’s late twin sister, Dawn Scott, who struggled with substance abuse before she died in 2016.

The rapper has frequently spoken about the importance of family throughout his career, and all three children have remained a central part of his life.

Kim Scott Has Faced Personal Struggles Over The Years

Scott has been candid about the personal challenges she has faced over the years, including struggles with addiction and mental health. In 2015, she survived a suicide attempt after crashing her vehicle into a utility pole. She later described the incident as an intentional act and said she had been battling depression and substance abuse at the time.

Despite periods away from the public eye, Scott has periodically made headlines because of legal troubles and her longstanding connection to Eminem.

With an active arrest warrant now issued, the latest chapter in her legal case continues to unfold.

Bunnie Xo is setting the record straight on the speculation surrounding her divorce from Jelly Roll.

“I’ve seen this narrative online where people are like, ‘Bunnie was embarrassing Jelly.’ That’s why he wanted the divorce. ‘She’s not good for his PR,’” Bunnie, 46, said during the Friday, June 26, episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “I’m just like, please, it’s not me, OK. It’s not me, and that’s completely false.”

In the wake of their split, Bunnie (real name Alisa DeFord) told listeners that her DMs are open. While some podcast listeners have written in asking for advice, others have written “crazy” things.

Friday’s episode of the podcast was an “ask, tell, confess” installment, meaning listeners wrote into Bunnie. One message came from a man getting out of a “10-year bid” in prison asking for “a time” with her when he’s released.

“What I don’t like is he said, ‘Let me go out and have a time with you.’ So that’s where it’s like, OK, so you’re just expecting me to put out on this first date?” Bunnie said. “Listen, same. I just got out of a 10-year bid too, bitches, what are we talking about?”

Bunnie was laughing while telling listeners that she’s “gonna get a phone call” from Jelly (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) after that comment.

“I’m sorry, OK,” she said. “Just cutting a rug, buddy.”

Jelly submitted a petition for divorce in Tennessee on May 18. However, their split news didn’t go public until June 15.

“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, which I don’t think the details are necessary,” Bunnie explained on the June 18 episode of her “Dumb Blonde” podcast, detailing what led to their divorce.

“I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f***ing divorce papers,’” she claimed. “And in our relationship, that is the one cardinal thing that you don’t say. Even though my husband has said it numerous times ‘cause he’s the runner.”

Bunnie Xo is ready to shine a light on what went wrong in her nearly 10-year marriage to Jelly Roll. “My family was always so important to me, and when I said those vows with him, I really meant them,” Bunnie, 46, shared on the Thursday, June 18, episode of the “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “J […]

Jelly was apparently “so mad” that he did what she said.

“Was I blindsided? And was this divorce mutual? No, it was not mutual,” she added. “Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and just frustration.”

Bunnie referred to Jelly as her “best friend” despite their breakup.

“I don’t care how f***ed up our relationship was, which it wasn’t that f***ed up. I don’t care how much we didn’t communicate or how things shook out,” she said. “I was riding with this motherf***er till the wheels fell off. I didn’t care. I felt like we deserved a chance to go to therapy and figure s*** out. He didn’t feel that way and I respect it.”

When Superman premiered last year, it accomplished something the DC brand had struggled to find for years: a clear creative identity. James Gunn proved audiences were ready to embrace a version of DC that was colorful, optimistic, unabashedly comic book, and completely sincere. It was exactly the kind of reset the franchise needed after years of tonal uncertainty. That identity is one of the DCU’s greatest strengths, but it also carries its biggest risk.

After watching Supergirl, I’m less concerned about whether the movie succeeds on its own than I am about what it suggests for the future of the franchise. The movie introduces an excellent Kara Zor-El in Milly Alcock, but it also feels strangely hesitant to establish its own personality. Too often, it feels like it’s chasing the same rhythms that made Superman work rather than discovering what makes Supergirl unique. If that’s the template going forward, the DCU could end up making the same mistake every shared universe eventually faces: confusing consistency with sameness.

The DCU Needs an Identity, Not a Formula

There’s a reason Superman resonated with so many people, and it wasn’t simply because it was hopeful. It was because Gunn committed to a very specific vision from beginning to end. Every emotional beat, joke, action sequence, and supporting character felt like it belonged to the same filmmaker. Whether someone loved the movie or hated it, nobody walked away wondering whose voice they had just watched. That’s exactly what the opening chapter of a cinematic universe should accomplish. The problem is that a filmmaker’s voice isn’t something that can be copied by someone else. You can recreate the broad ingredients: offbeat humor, obscure comic references, heartfelt speeches, quirky side characters, licensed music. You can’t recreate the instincts behind them.

That’s where Supergirl stumbles. The movie frequently feels like it’s working from the outline of what a Gunn movie looks like without fully understanding why those choices worked in Superman. The result is a movie that often feels familiar but rarely surprising. Scenes unfold exactly as you’d expect them to, emotional moments arrive on schedule, and even the dialogue starts to feel predictable, as though every character is speaking with the same cadence. That’s not a franchise identity: that’s a formula.

Shared Universes Work Best When Directors Leave Their Fingerprints

The best cinematic universes don’t ask every filmmaker to make the same movie, they ask every filmmaker to tell a different story inside the same world. That’s why some of the strongest entries in the MCU still stand apart years later. Captain America: The Winter Soldier feels nothing like Guardians of the Galaxy. Black Panther has a completely different energy from both. They’re connected through continuity, but they’re driven by distinct creative voices. The DCU should want the same thing. That doesn’t mean abandoning the hopeful tone Gunn established, it means giving filmmakers permission to explore different genres, different visual styles, and different emotional perspectives while respecting the universe they’ve inherited.

Ironically, that’s exactly what DC Comics has always done well. Batman, Superman, Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl all inhabit the same universe on the page, but their stories rarely feel interchangeable. The characters shape the storytelling, not the other way around. That’s what Supergirl needed more of. Kara shouldn’t simply feel like she’s existing inside Superman’s creative shadow, she should have a perspective, rhythm, and emotional identity that belong entirely to her. Alcock gives the character that spark throughout the movie. The movie surrounding her never quite catches up.

James Gunn’s Biggest Job Isn’t Directing ‘Superman’ Anymore

Gunn has already proven he knows how to make a great DC movie. The bigger challenge is proving he knows how to build a universe where other filmmakers can make great DC movies, too. That’s an entirely different responsibility. If every project starts chasing the tone that made Superman or any of other Gunn’s superhero projects successful, audiences will eventually notice the repetition. One of the biggest advantages comic book adaptations have over almost every other franchise is the sheer variety of stories they can tell. The DCU should feel big enough for political thrillers, cosmic adventures, gothic horror, fantasy epics, and intimate character dramas to coexist. That’s how comic books have survived for generations.

Supergirl doesn’t convince me the DCU has found that balance yet. It feels caught between honoring Gunn’s vision and establishing one of its own. That’s a difficult line for any filmmaker to walk, but it’s also one the franchise has to figure out sooner rather than later. Because the future of the DCU shouldn’t depend on every director trying to make the next James Gunn movie, it should depend on finding filmmakers who understand these characters well enough to make them feel unmistakably like themselves.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Whitney and Conner Leavitt are giving fans an update on the show’s fifth season.

Production on season 5 of the hit Hulu reality show was paused back in March amid allegations of a domestic incident between Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen. The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office ultimately declined to press charges against Taylor, 32, in April.

After news broke of the charges being dropped, Us Weekly confirmed that production on Mormon Wives season 5 was set to resume.

“It’s not completely wrapped up. We just need to finish out the season, which will finish soon, and then that’ll be my last one,” Whitney, 33, shared on Trisha Paytas’ “Just Trish” podcast on Thursday, June 25.

Conner, 32, claimed that Hulu has “cut the season short … five episodes only.”

“They’re having everyone go back to basically do interviews, wrap up a couple of things,” he added. “I think that’ll be a very abbreviated season considering all the things that happened publicly.”

As Whitney prepares to leave Mormon Wives, she also gave an update on her relationships with her fellow MomTok influencers.

“I feel the support. I feel like this is literally the first time ever I’m, like, good with everyone. It’s a breath of fresh air. No drama,” the Dancing With the Stars alum said.

“You’re going to want to sit down for this video. I am leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Take a minute.

“Just to be very clear, I am finishing season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last,” Whitney added. “It’s honestly so crazy to me looking back on this journey because I had been trying to get into theater and film way before Secret Lives even came into my life.”

“I feel content,” Whitney said. “I feel like this is a chapter that’s closing in my life and honestly, I believe that’s how it was always meant to be.

AMC’s Anne Rice universe was never built to be only one vampire show. Interview with the Vampire gave the franchise its prestige anchor, Mayfair Witches opened the supernatural side of the mythology, and the next logical step was always the organization watching all of it from the shadows. That made this cancelled spin-off interesting from the start because it was not centered on one immortal lead.

The strange part is that the series is now showing life after cancellation. AMC canceled it in March 2026 after only one six-episode season, but its AMC+ chart movement through Amazon Channels has improved this week in both the United States and Spain. In the U.S., it moved from No. 9 on June 20 to No. 6 yesterday and today (June 26). In Spain, it bounced from No. 7 to No. 5 earlier in the week and is now sitting at No. 6. That is not a giant global revival, but it is a useful late signal for a show that already lost its renewal fight.

The series is Talamasca: The Secret Order, AMC’s Anne Rice spin-off starring Nicholas Denton as Guy Anatole, a young man pulled into a secret agency that tracks immortal and supernatural beings. The cast also includes William Fichtner, Elizabeth McGovern, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, and Celine Buckens, with John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty behind the show. The show has a 6.5 IMDb rating and 61% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, which explains why it never became the franchise’s breakout, but the chart climb still matters. Cancelled shows usually disappear quietly. Talamasca: The Secret Order shows there was still some audience curiosity left in the order.

What Is the Premise of ‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’

Compared with Interview with the Vampire, which follows immortals from inside their own seductive, violent world, and Mayfair Witches, which centers on inherited power and family occult history, Talamasca: The Secret Order was built more like a supernatural spy thriller. The series follows the people who monitor vampires, witches, ghosts, and other beings while trying to keep the mortal world from seeing too much.

At the center is Guy Anatole (Nicholas Denton), a young law-school graduate who is pulled into the Talamasca after learning that the secret organization has been tracking him for years. From there, the show turns Anne Rice’s mythology into a surveillance-and-conspiracy story about humans trying to manage forces far older and stronger than them.

Talamasca: The Secret Order is currently trending on AMC+ (Amazon Channels). Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
