All 53 Episodes of Kevin Costner’s ‘Yellowstone’ Just Officially Became Easier To Stream
For Western aficionados everywhere, now is a great time to head to Montana. As of July 1, Yellowstone fans everywhere are in for a Kevin Costner-sized treat as the five-season neo-Western is officially available for free. That’s right, you no longer need a Peacock subscription to watch any episode of the modern horse opera or restart the Taylor Sheridan-made program from scratch. Even better, this is a major step in the right direction for the Yellowstone universe, inching the entire franchise closer to a full streaming reunion.
‘Yellowstone’ Can Now Be Streamed for Free on Pluto TV
Whether you’re just aiming for a refresher before the next seasons of Marshals or Dutton Ranch, hoping for a Fourth of July-themed neo-Western marathon, or just jonesing for the return of Costner’s John Dutton after his impromptu Season 5 exit, it’s the perfect time to dive back into the 53-episode horse opera. For many, this streaming shift will make it much easier to revisit Yellowstone alongside the other Duttonverse shows, since previously, the Paramount Network drama had only been available on Peacock. It may seem odd now, but back when Peacock launched in 2020, Paramount+ was not yet established. While its predecessor, CBS All Access, predated the NBC-affiliated streamer, there was no digital outlet yet for the high-quality, prestigious cable dramas found on Paramount Network. Thus, the brand made a deal with Peacock for Yellowstone, and the rest is history.
This deal has long prevented the flagship Dutton series from being available alongside the rest of Sheridan’s television catalog on Paramount+, which officially launched in 2021. This has been a source of frustration for fans, with some speculating that Yellowstone‘s ending would allow Paramount to bring the main Dutton characters under one streaming banner by spinning them off into their own programs. Every Duttonverse show, from prequels 1883 and 1923 to sequels Marshals and Dutton Ranch, is available on Paramount+, and so there may be some credence to that theory (you know, aside from Costner’s exit and all). Of course, now that Yellowstone is available on Pluto TV (which is actually owned by Paramount Skydance), we’re another step closer to the original series being available to stream alongside the larger Sheridanverse.
Westerns Are a Staple on the Free-to-Stream Platform
However you view it, making Yellowstone available for free on Pluto TV opens the door for those without Peacock to enjoy the famed neo-Western at their own leisure — and is one step closer to a full Paramount+ reunion. While you’re enjoying Yellowstone on Pluto TV, you can explore the free-to-stream platform’s other Western offerings, and there are several. In addition to some of the platform’s Western-specific channels, classic television horse operas like Gunsmoke, Have Gun — Will Travel, Rawhide, Wanted: Dead or Alive, The Rifleman, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp can be streamed on-demand on the platform, some in their entirety. Other shows like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman and the Josh Brolin-led The Young Riders have also found their way to the platform.
Even better, for those looking for something as high-caliber as Yellowstone in terms of cinematic quality, you can’t go wrong with Lonesome Dove. Whether Yellowstone will make it to Paramount+ in the future is unclear, but the series’ presence on Pluto TV is good for everyone. If you’ve canceled your cable subscription and are sick of keeping Peacock just for the Duttons, then now is the time to hop back on the horse.

Forget ‘Fallout,’ Walton Goggins’ 6-Part Western Masterpiece Is a Monster Hit on Streaming
The last few years have been nothing short of stellar for the great Timothy Olyphant, who has settled into a key role in Ridley Scott’s latest sci-fi series, Alien: Earth. After starring in the first season as Kirsh, it has been confirmed that Olyphant will return and star in Season 2, which is now shooting and eyeing a 2027 return. Olyphant has also become a Star Wars sensation thanks to his role as Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and while fans are ready to see him show up again, there don’t appear to be any plans for him to come back in the immediate future. Outside just the last few years, though, Olyphant has been starring in popular Western movies and TV shows, and one of his most famous pieces of work is staging an unexpected comeback.
When it comes to nailing down Olyphant’s most famous role, it would be hard to name more than a few without listing Raylan Givens, who he played in multiple seasons of the legendary Western series, Justified. The show was written and created for TV by Graham Yost, who is also the lead writer on Apple TV’s sci-fi sensation starring Rebecca Ferguson, Silo. Justified, which also stars now mega-star Walton Goggins (Fallout), ran for six seasons between 2010 and 2015 — an impressive turnaround that’s almost unheard of nowadays — and the show has since found a streaming home on Hulu as an FX-produced series. Over 10 years after Justified went off the air, the show is experiencing a surprise comeback on VOD, where it’s become one of the most popular purchases in a few countries.
What Is the ‘Justified’ Spin-Off Show About?
Back in 2023, seven years after Justified went off the air, Timothy Olyphant returned as Raylan Givens in a new spin-off series, Justified: City Primeval, which consists of only eight episodes. Despite Olyphant returning to the lead role, fans weren’t too hot on the Justified offshoot, as most felt it abandoned the principals of what made the original series so popular in the first place. An official synopsis for the show reads as follows:
“Raylan Givens trades Kentucky hollows for Detroit’s gritty streets, drawn into a deadly clash with Clement Mansell, a slick, sociopathic killer known as the Oklahoma Wildman. As Raylan navigates a corrupt city and unravels a murder case, he must outsmart a cunning judge-killer while protecting his teenage daughter, blurring the line between justice and vengeance in this tense, high-stakes crime saga.”

Brad Pitt is certainly no stranger to success on the Apple TV charts, with the Hollywood icon now one of the flagship faces of Apple’s movie division. This is mostly thanks to the enormous success of Joseph Kosinski‘s racing blockbuster F1, which starred Pitt as Sonny Hayes. One of the highlights of 2025’s summer of cinema, F1 was a huge success both commercially and critically, even becoming the highest-grossing original movie of the year and Apple Original Film’s highest-grossing theatrical release of all time, scoring $633 million worldwide against a budget reported to range between $200 million and $300 million.
Not just a smash hit in theaters, F1 also earned Oscars glory, taking home the prize for Best Sound from this year’s 98th Academy Awards ceremony, and even earning a nod in the coveted Best Picture category. For all its dominance, especially having just surpassed the 200-day mark on the streamer’s top ten in America, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was Pitt’s only Apple TV movie. However, in 2024, Pitt teamed up with his Ocean’s castmate George Clooney to deliver the arguably underrated action comedy Wolfs to the streamer.
When two rival fixers (Clooney and Pitt) cross paths on a particularly tricky and high-profile crime, they must put their preference to work alone to the side as they begin a night of chaos and danger. After release in September 2024, and despite lukewarm reviews from critics, Wolfs quickly became Apple TV’s most-watched movie. However, it was originally planned to receive a theatrical run first, with the pivot to a streaming-only release encouraging director Jon Watts to walk away from a previously confirmed sequel.
‘Wolfs’ Is Back Among the Streaming Elite
Almost two years since it was first released, Wolfs is back among the streaming elite. At the time of writing, the movie is one of the ten most-streamed on Apple TV in the U.S. The current ten is also topped by Pitt as Sonny Hayes in F1, with the rest of the list also boasting some eye-catching projects. This includes Sydney Sweeney‘s underrated thriller Echo Valley, Keanu Reeves‘ Outcome, the World War II action film Greyhound, Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller‘s The Gorge, director Guy Ritchie‘s Fountain of Youth, and more.
Wolfs is streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest updates.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce called on a very special friend to officiate their wedding: Adam Sandler.
Swift’s rep confirms to Us Weekly that the comedian, 59, presided over the newlyweds’ big day at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3.
Swift and Kelce, both 36, opted not to have bridesmaids or groomsmen at the black-tie ceremony. Instead, the bride’s brother, Austin Swift, served as her man of honor, while the groom’s brother, Jason Kelce, was his best man.
Sandler’s daughters, Sadie, 20, and Sunny, 17, have been fans of Taylor since they were children.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about since they got together in 2023. Their 2025 engagement, which came weeks before Swift released her album The Life of a Showgirl (featuring plenty of references to Kelce), has made them an even bigger topic of conversation. Swift and Kelce were first linked in […]
“Taylor in our house, every tune, they knew every word,” the actor shared on Travis and Jason’s podcast, “New Heights,” in August 2024. “I loved listening to her in the car. I love what she had to say, every message, every melody, just the production, how cool she was, what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life.”
Adam noted that Sadie and Sunny, whom he shares with his wife, Jackie Sandler, have had the opportunity to meet Taylor several times, including at the Los Angeles premiere of her Eras Tour concert film in October 2023.
“She means so much to my f***ing house,” the Big Daddy star added.
Adam has also become close with Travis since the Kansas City Chiefs tight end made a cameo in his 2025 movie Happy Gilmore 2.
“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy and funny as hell,” the Saturday Night Live alum told Entertainment Tonight in July 2025. “He’s like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”
Taylor Swift started writing songs about love and breakups in the early 2000s, but her talent was soon recognized by music executives who knew she was the real deal. From releasing her first record in 2006 to gracing stages all over the world this star has earned her place in the Hollywood A-list music scene. […]
Taylor and Travis started dating in the summer of 2023 and got engaged in August 2025.
Prior to their wedding, multiple sources confirmed to Us that the couple planned to say “I do” at Madison Square Garden. Approximately 1,000 people attended Friday’s ceremony, including Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Zoë Kravitz, Karlie Kloss, Jack Antonoff, Ed Sheeran and Benson Boone.
Taylor and Travis both wore Christian Dior Haute Couture looks designed by creative director Jonathan Anderson. Christian Louboutin customized their shoes, and the “Love Story” singer donned Cartier jewelry.
The night before their nuptials, Taylor and Travis hosted a star-studded rehearsal dinner at the Infosys Theater, which is located inside MSG.
If it’s starting to feel like everyone’s obsessed with a brand-new Harlan Coben thriller every few months, it’s because they actually are. Since teaming up with Netflix in 2018, 13 of the prolific author’s 35 bestselling books have been adapted into limited-run series, and the partnership is quickly becoming one of the platform’s biggest success stories. In just the last six months, Run Away unseated Stranger Things to top the global charts, and I Will Find You became the biggest original series debut of 2026.
Coben, who serves as executive producer on all his adaptations, has long been a force in mystery-thriller fiction; now, his name is synonymous with addictive, bingeworthy TV. The Netflix shows are easy to pick up because, like the books they’re based on, they have self-contained plots that remove lore-based barrier to entry and make them universally accessible to global audiences. What keeps viewers hooked, though, is his unique ability to deliver high-stakes twists and breakneck pacing within a narrative that’s emotionally grounded and relatable at its core – and that’s due to a storytelling formula Coben has spent years perfecting.
The Harlan Coben Thriller Formula
Each of the adapted novels is built around a “what if?” premise, a scenario or revelation so outrageous it borders on impossible. That premise is then dropped into the life of a deeply ordinary protagonist, often living in Coben’s home state of New Jersey or nearby metro areas, who has a normal job, family, and obligations – and it completely shatters their sense of reality. Because the “what if?” is so farfetched, the protagonist struggles to get others to believe what they’ve discovered, forcing them to take matters into their own hands to uncover the truth.
Coben uses this formula to build out plots that hit all the right notes for a standard-fare mystery-thriller, yet remain entrenched in something much more accessible than shadowy espionage or hard-boiled crime. By using an everyman as the central protagonist, and basing everything on what real people know, feel, and do, he’s able to root each narrative organically in the human experience. “It’s not enough for me to stir your pulse, or stir your brain,” Coben said in an interview recently, “I need to stir your heart.” His work resonates with audiences so strongly because it’s exactly what we would do if we were in that “what if?” situation, which grounds even the wildest plot twist in emotional truth.
Every Great Mystery-Thriller Plot Starts With “What If?”
The “what if?” is the most important part of the formula, and it often starts as a loose idea that crystallizes as he continues to go about his everyday life, thinking, listening, and observing. After Coben found drug paraphernalia in his daughter’s room, he began thinking about centering his next novel on a young woman who’s lost her way. While mulling it over in Central Park, he saw a musician playing John Lennon on a guitar, and he was hit with the “what if?” behind the smash-hit Run Away: what if you’re half-listening to a busker playing in a park, and you look up and realize it’s your drug-addicted daughter who’s been missing for six months?
Lived experiences and conversations become a springboard, like for Hold Tight, which came out of a dinner conversation with friends about their troubled teen, a decision to install spyware, and a debate about parental responsibilities in an uncertain world. The Stranger, on the other hand, was inspired by browsing history, in both senses of the phrase; he dug into all sorts of websites to mine real stories for inspiration, and doubled down on his personal belief that our searches aren’t private. Each of the “what ifs?” takes real life, flips it on its head, then goes back down to earth on a crash course with reality in Corben’s stories, and that’s why it’s so eminently easy to be drawn in.
‘Fool Me Once’ is a Masterclass in the Coben Formula
In 2024, Fool Me Once became one of the most-watched series in Netflix history, and it’s when people started really understanding the allure of the Coben binge. It’s a masterclass in his formula; not only does it pull on every heartstring and tick every box of the relatability checklist, it’s also one of the twistiest, shock-inducing, gasp-worthy plots of all time. There’s also one hell of a “what if?”: what if your recently murdered husband suddenly appeared on your nanny cam?
The story centers on Maya Stern (Michelle Keegan), a retired military pilot and newly single mother whose husband, Joe Burkett (Richard Armitage), was murdered during an attempted robbery, only months after her sister, Claire Walker (Natalie Anderson), was murdered in a crime that remains unsolved. Maya is attempting to deal with these dual traumas and move on with her life when she’s given a nanny cam by a friend, and discovers what looks like her dead husband playing with her two-year-old daughter. Maya confronts her nanny, who flees with the camera’s memory card, leaving her without the only evidence she had to prove she saw her husband alive.
Desperate for answers, she begins investigating her husband’s wealthy, powerful family, and discovers the gun used in the robbery was the same one that killed her sister. Convinced the murders are linked, she takes a headlong dive into the world of the Burkett family and their company, uncovering the dark secrets they’ve tried to hide. And what she finds – well, that’s a bit less about the Coben formula, and more about Coben magic, but if you’ve watched it you’ll know what I mean when I say she finds what she knew all along.
‘I Will Find You’ Brings Coben’s Formula Home
The first 12 Netflix series were produced for countries outside the US, so the adaptations not only had to be moved from page to screen, but also adjusted for cultural relevancy and impact in new cities. With I Will Find You, production moved stateside; setting the action in the novel’s original locations, Boston and New York. While significant changes were made to certain characters, the pacing, and the structure of the plot’s twists and turns, the series gives us our first glimpse at Coben’s America, and it’s almost impossible to look away.
The “what if?” is, as always, astounding: what if your son, who you were convicted of murdering, was spotted in a photograph alive and well? David Borroughs (Sam Worthington) still maintains his innocence while serving life in prison when he’s shown the photo by his ex-wife’s sister, Rachel Mills (Britt Lower). As he becomes even more adamant that he isn’t guilty of the crime, multiple attempts on David’s life take place in the prison to stop him from investigating the circumstances around his son’s death. He’s forced to break out of prison and pursue the answers as a fugitive, convincing his friends and family one at a time that he’s not a madman but a father who knows his son is still alive.
It’s a crazy set of circumstances on the face of things, but as the series progresses, you begin to realize what he’s doing is exactly what you’d do, even though it’s absolutely insane. That’s how relatable Coben’s characters are, and it’s somehow even more true when the tiny details – something as small as swapping a Yankees hat for a Red Sox one when returning to Boston from New York, to make sure you’re not standing out – make the plot on the screen feel so much more real. And while not everything is perfect about the adaptation, it’s wildly watchable from beginning to end.
The Coben formula is, at its core, a stroke of storytelling genius, one that enables a thriller to maintain both a real-life and out-of-body feel. From the “what ifs?” to the well-grounded emotional foundation he builds, every single aspect of the narrative is built in a way that’s ready-made to binge. And the good news for everyone with a Netflix account is this isn’t the end of the line for the ever-growing Coben universe – as we’ve learned by now, there are always more series on the way.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated their union surrounded by family, friends, and a host of familiar faces. While the star-studded guest list drew plenty of attention, it was one celebrity’s role in the ceremony that became an unexpected highlight. Adam Sandler wasn’t just present to celebrate the couple’s big day; he played a meaningful part in the festivities by officiating their wedding.
On the evening of Friday, July 3, Taylor Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Paine, confirmed in a statement that the award-winning singer and the three-time Super Bowl champion were married.
Paine also included other details, including the couple’s looks (created by Christian Dior Haute Couture), and the important people who stood by their side during the special day. Swift and Kelce opted to forgo a traditional wedding party. Instead of bridesmaids and groomsmen, Swift chose her brother, Austin, as her man of honor, while Kelce named his brother, Jason, as his best man.
“The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler,” the statement read.
Following the ceremony, jumbotrons outside Madison Square Garden flashed an announcement: “JUST&T MARRIED!”
On July 2, a casually dressed Sandler was spotted arriving at MSG for Swift and Kelce’s rehearsal dinner. The comedian donned a blue floral shirt paired with green basketball shorts while carrying garment bags. He was accompanied by his wife, Jackie, and their daughter, Sadie.
Several hours before the wedding, Sandler was spotted in New York City sporting his signature Sandlercore outfit of basketball shorts and a yellow shirt as he headed to a basketball court to shoot some hoops before stepping into his officiant duties.
As reported by PEOPLE, the comedian later emerged from the courts and stopped for a quick coffee run before preparing for the wedding.
Sandler’s role as the couple’s officiant came as a surprise to fans, but it was one many welcomed as a charming and fitting addition to the celebration.
Travis Kelce Is An Adam Sandler Fan
In 2025, Kelce made a cameo appearance as a waiter in Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 comedy hit.
In an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the football player gushed about working with Sandler, which he described as a “dream come true.” Kelce was all praise for the “SNL” alum, saying he was as “cool” off screen was he was on-screen. “Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman, and Happy Productions, it was off the chain,” he added.
Sandler, too, only had nice things to say about the athlete. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said, “Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell.” The comedian added that working with Kelce reminded him of his high school friends, saying he felt free to laugh and be himself around the NFL star. “He certainly is a stud,” he added.
Adam Sandler’s Family Are Swifties
Sandler also has a good relationship with Swift, as he shared in a 2024 episode on the Kelce brothers’ podcast, “New Heights.” The comedian revealed that he, his wife, and their two daughters have been fans of Swift for years.
“Taylor in our house, every tune, they knew every word,” he said, referring to her daughters. “I loved listening to her in the car. I love what she had to say, every message, every melody, just the production, how cool she was, what she meant to young girls, what she means to women,” Sandler said.
In 2024, Sandler and his children met Swift at “The Eras Tour” movie premiere, where he said the pop star took the time to talk to his daughters. “She just floors my family. Floors them,” he exclaimed.
The comedian also revealed that Swift made him nervous, as he didn’t want to say “something stupid” and embarrass his daughters. “She means so much to my f-cking house… She’s lifetime, forever, along with the whole world. She just means so much,” he gushed.
The Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Wedding Was A Star-Studded Affair
With more than a thousand people reportedly on the guest list, the Swift and Kelce nuptials brought together a long list of high-profile personalities. Among those spotted were Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, Dakota Johnson, Lena Dunham, Ed Sheeran, Zoe Kravitz, Camila Cabello, and Karlie Kloss, who many speculated the singer had a falling out with.
Other attendees were Jason Sudeikis, Hugh Grant, Eric Stonestreet, Miranda Lambert, Benson Boone, MGK, and Ellie Goulding.
Guests from the football world included Patrick Mahomes, Ross Travis, Matthew Stafford, Richard Sherman, George Kittle, and Kyle Juszczyk.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding venue has finally been revealed after months of speculation.
The Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champion, both 36, exchanged vows at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3, 2026.
What to Know About Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Wedding Venue
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce MSG wedding. Us Weekly
The location of Swift and Kelce’s nuptials has been hotly debated since the couple announced their engagement in August 2025. A source told Us Weekly in April that the festivities would likely be divided between the bride’s Rhode Island mansion and the nearby Ocean House seaside resort.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are all anyone can talk about since they got together in 2023. Their 2025 engagement, which came weeks before Swift released her album The Life of a Showgirl (featuring plenty of references to Kelce), has made them an even bigger topic of conversation. Swift and Kelce were first linked in […]
“The guest list grew, so the ceremony and private gatherings associated with the wedding [will be split between the venues],” the insider said at the time, noting that Swift still had other places in mind. “Taylor always has a plan B and C for every scenario.”
According to a second source, Swift and Kelce felt “confident” hosting their wedding in Rhode Island because “the entire area [would] be very private and guarded.”
Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse subsequently cast doubt on theories that the pair planned to wed in the state.
“I don’t know about that,” he told TMZ DC in June when asked about speculation that Swift’s Rhode Island mansion would serve as the setting for the event.
“I think that she gave Rhode Island a pass,” Whitehouse claimed. “But I’d hope so, I’d love to have her in Rhode Island.”
As Swift and Kelce’s big day drew nearer, rumors surfaced that the two might be considering New York City for their nuptials.
It’s the celebrity wedding of the year. On June 3, 2026, pop singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce are reportedly tying the knot in Madison Square Garden in New York City. Over 1,000 guests are expected to attend, including Gigi Hadid, sombr, Dakota Johnson, Ellie Goulding, Benson Boone and more. […]
Amid the conflicting speculation, Swift and Kelce’s inner circle remained tight-lipped about the wedding. Per the second source, the duo weren’t “even sure” they would mail hard copy invitations to their guests given the level of secrecy surrounding the nuptials. However, “their closest friends and family know the venue and the date,” the insider explained at the time, “even if nothing formal has been sent out.”
In the midst of wedding planning, Swift and Kelce approached the process like a team sport.
“They’re both involved and making decisions together,” the source told Us in April, adding that the couple had been “focused on actually enjoying the process rather than getting caught up in the pressure” as the ceremony grew closer. “They’re keeping things light.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce MSG wedding Us Weekly
Swift and Kelce were both “very laid back” while sorting out the specifics of their big day, with the insider noting they “made a conscious decision not to let it cause any tension between them.”
As for Kelce’s willingness to be involved in the planning, the source revealed, “Taylor thinks it’s cute that Travis cares about a lot of the details.”
Swift previously confessed that she never dreamed about her perfect nuptials prior to finding love with Kelce. During an October 2025 appearance on the U.K.’s Heart radio station, she shared, “You would think that I had been the type of person who would have obsessed over the idea of a wedding my whole life, but I actually never thought about what I would ever do or what I would want until I met the person.”
Taylor Swift had her “something blue” on her wedding day, courtesy of New York City’s own and iconic Empire State Building.
“Her something blue 💙,” an X post from the official account for the skyscraper’s observation deck read on Friday, July, 3, sharing footage of the exterior lit up with blue LED lights.
The tweet presumably was in honor of Swift’s Friday wedding to Travis Kelce, which was held at Madison Square Garden blocks away from the Empire State Building.
While a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Swift and Kelce’s big day would have a “whimsical” wedding theme, the couple remained tight-lipped about their plans as did their relatives.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a “whimsical” evening planned for friends and family when they reportedly tie the knot in New York City, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. An insider says that the engaged couple have dreamt up a celebration inspired by fairytales, which have been a recurring theme in Swift’s music throughout […]
“I just wanna say to literally everybody — I know it usually comes from a good place, not always — but quit asking me and my mother-in-law about upcoming nuptials,” Travis’ sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, lamented on an April episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “Nobody’s f***ing telling you anything!”
She continued, “Keep f***ing asking. You know what my answer’s gonna be? ‘I know nothing, suck my ass.’ No, actually, I’m done with the answer ‘I know nothing.’ My new answer? ‘Suck my ass.’ I’m gonna get a headband with LED lights and it’s gonna say, ‘Suck my ass.’”
Kylie, 33, is married to Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce. The entire Kelce crew — including the brothers’ parents and Jason’s four daughters — have all warmly embraced Swift since her relationship with Travis began in 2023.
“Taylor has really been integrated into the family,” a source exclusively told Us in 2024. “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce officially got married in the wedding of the century. Swift and Kelce, both 36, said “I do” in a star-studded ceremony held at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3. Just after the pair exchanged vows, digital billboards outside the venue read, “JusT&T Married.” Kelce first tried […]
With Jason and Kylie’s young kids, Swift included them into her baking and sewing hobbies in addition to introducing them to her three pet cats.
“As soon as I got the kids around the cats, it was my goal to prove to them that they weren’t poisonous,” she told Jason, 38, on his and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast in August 2025, dispelling her then-future brother-in-law’s claims that cats were poisonous. “There’s no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my ragdoll cat, who lets humans hold him like he’s a baby. My favorite thing ever is when Bennie will come up to me and just go, ‘I find Benjamin, I find him.’ And she’s just over there laying with him and petting him and holding him.”
Jason stood up next to Travis on Friday, serving as his best man while Swift enlisted brother Austin as Man of Honor.
Love Island USA‘s Zach Georgiou revealed that one of his biggest issues in the villa was waking up with “morning wood.”
During the Friday, July 3, episode of the hit Peacock series, Zach woke up and told the guys, “I’ve always got f**ing morning wood. I can’t get up.”
Carl Lee Schmidt tried to offer Zach some advice. “You have got to chop that wood down,” he noted.
Zach has previously often been seen hooking up with his partner Kayda Bosse. The couple reunited after Zach explored a romance with Alannah Keyser in Casa Amor.
Zach walked back into the villa alone after Alannah was removed from the show after facing backlash for a resurfaced video that allegedly showed her using a racial slur.
The video and other posts were not shared publicly until after Alannah’s appearance on the show and thus were not accessible during the vetting process.
“Hi everyone, I’m coming on here to address some things that have been circulated online. I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur. I’m sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it. That was never my intention,” Alannah said in a Saturday, June 27, TikTok. “The video is from six years ago and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.”
She continued, “I’d also like to address the screenshots that have been going around online that have been falsified. What has been shared does not reflect the truth and it has never been in my character to discriminate against anybody’s skin color. I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind and I never have.”
Earlier this season, another contestant, Vasana Montgomery, was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Similar issues arose during season 7 last year, with Yulissa Escobar leaving days into the experience after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.
Cierra Ortega also faced backlash for using a slur in her own resurfaced social media post. She was pulled from the villa and later issued an apology for her past actions.

Taylor Swift and her younger brother, Austin Swift, have a tight-knit bond.
While the siblings don’t constantly post about each other on social media, they have shared the rare tribute to each other over the years. Not to mention, Austin seems super supportive of Taylor’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Not only has Austin been photographed alongside Taylor during various Chiefs games in 2023, but he got Kelce a special Christmas gift in December 2023, and the NFL star couldn’t help but gush over it.
“He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag,” Kelce gushed during his “New Heights” podcast in December 2023. “[He] handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time … Little Giants.”
While Austin hasn’t commented publicly on his sister’s romantic relationships, he has explained what it has been like having such an influential sibling.
“As a brother and friend I couldn’t be more proud, as a lifelong fan I am thrilled beyond words, as a human being I am simply dumbfounded at this level of artistry and depth of insight into what it is to love and to lose and to simply exist,” he wrote on Instagram in December 2020. “Now please stop reading this and go listen to evermore by @taylorswift !!!!!”
Keep scrolling for an inside look into Austin and Taylor’s sibling relationship:
The Kanye West Battle
Taylor and Kanye West haven’t seen eye-to-eye in years, but when he released the song “Famous” in February 2016, Austin outwardly supported his sister.
“Getting a head start on some spring cleaning,” Austin captioned a video of himself throwing West’s Yeezy brand sneakers in the trash. “Here we go again.”
Birthday Tributes
Over the years, Austin has shared sweet birthday tributes dedicated to the “best sister.”
“I can’t believe you’ve been riding ponies, making music, playing with cats, and telling stories for almost three decades now,” he captioned an Instagram post from December 2016. “You’ve always been there for your family and friends no matter what and you’re always finding unique and beautiful ways to show us how much you care.”
His Best Friend
Taylor shared an Instagram post about the 2018 midterm elections in Tennessee. Austin was beaming with pride when his sister shared her beliefs.
“When you thought you couldn’t respect your best friend any more than you already do. And then you do,” he wrote at the time, sharing her original caption.

Her Producing Credit
Eagle-eyed fans speculated that Austin released a cover of Taylor’s “Look What You Made Me Do” under the moniker Jack Leopards & The Dolphin Club. Nils Sjöberg — Taylor’s pseudonym — was listed as a producer on the track, which was featured in a 2020 episode of Killing Eve.
The single art featured what appeared to be a photo of Austin as a child with his face covered. In the image, the youngster is wearing a Dolphin Club T-shirt. Of course, neither sibling has confirmed the fan theory.
Taylor Swift started writing songs about love and breakups in the early 2000s, but her talent was soon recognized by music executives who knew she was the real deal. From releasing her first record in 2006 to gracing stages all over the world this star has earned her place in the Hollywood A-list music scene. […]
A Supportive Sibling
In 2022, Austin let it slip that he was on the team that helped created Taylor’s “I Bet You Think About Me” music video, which was directed by Blake Lively.
“I am so proud and thankful that we’ve been nominated for the ACM award for video of the year!” he wrote on Instagram of the song in February 2022.
The Travis Kelce Connection
Austin dressed up as Santa Claus during the Chiefs Christmas Day game in 2023 and earned Kelce’s respect.
“I respect a full commit,” the NFL star said on the “New Heights” podcast. “It was a full commit. He killed it.”
Lending Swifties a Helpful Hand
Austin swooped in to assist a fan in need at one of Taylor’s Indianapolis Eras Tour stops in November 2024. Per social media footage, a fan dressed as Kelce was seized by security while shouting his name and approaching the VIP area. The fan was instructed to take off their football helmet and did so as Austin came over.
“Hey, let’s not put our hands on people,” Austin told security before complimenting the fan. “I’m sorry about that. It’s a really cool costume. … You guys enjoy the concert. Have a great night.”
Her Man of Honor
When Taylor married Travis Kelce in July 2026, she enlisted Austin as her Man of Honor in lieu of a traditional bridal party. Travis, meanwhile, chose brother Jason Kelce as his Best Man.
“Her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor’s Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis’ Best Man,” a press release read. “The ceremony joined both families together and was officiated by friend Adam Sandler.”
It’s nothing new or revolutionary for TV shows to base themselves on books, especially in this modern age of streaming. Heck, some of the most successful shows of all time, like Game of Thrones, are based on books. Since most of these shows have source material to fall back on, it’s easy to create something that is enjoyable and that keeps people coming back for more. Unfortunately, it’s even easier to muck everything up.
Indeed, there have been many TV series that have been based on books, but that do not give their sources any sort of boost in popularity—in fact, sometimes, it’s quite the opposite. It’s often very disappointing for fans of the books (naturally) when these shows come through and set fire to everything the fans loved, and it always leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths. These are the worst book-to-TV adaptations of all time, some of which were canceled quickly before they had the chance to do any more damage.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ (2022–Present)
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is an adaptation of several works by J. R. R. Tolkien, who penned an enormous universe consisting of thousands of years of history that collectively became known as Middle-earth. There have been several popular film adaptations over the years, so hopes were high when a new show coming out promised to delve into some of the more elaborate and fascinating parts of Middle-earth’s history that hadn’t gotten the chance to be filmed yet.
The Rings of Power was a resounding success with critics because it is technically impressive. The visuals are gorgeous, the action exciting, and the acting is very well done. However, for fantasy fans and for die-hard fans of Tolkien’s work, the show has proven to be a disaster. It destroys much of the lore that one of the greatest writers of all time crafted with such care, and deviates from the source material far too much for its own good. It’s not a terrible show by any means, but it is a major disappointment, especially for those who were expecting something on the level of Peter Jackson‘s acclaimed film trilogy.

‘Nancy Drew’ (2019–2023)
The Nancy Drew series of YA mystery novels has been immensely popular and has seen a few TV adaptations in the nearly 100 years since they’ve been around. All the books claim to be written by Carolyn Keene, but this is actually a pseudonym that numerous different authors have adopted over the years. In any case, the recent incarnation of the series created by The CW is really bad in pretty much all respects.
The main problem with it was that it lacked any of the spirit that made the novels so popular in the first place. The eponymous character is generally known for her bubbly and optimistic demeanor, never backing down in the face of adversity. But in this show, everyone is super moody, and the show bears an overly dark tone, trying to appeal to audiences way beyond the books’ level of maturity. The cast is good, and the show is visually pleasing, but it was just too somber and depressing, and had no reason to last for four whole years.

‘Beauty & the Beast’ (2012–2016)
There are so many adaptations of the original Beauty and the Beast fairytale that it’s impossible to count them all. But among the worst of them is the 2012 series from The CW, which inexplicably decided to go for a more murder mystery route rather than an expansion of the story itself. To its credit, it is a reboot of a 1987 CBS series, but this doesn’t help it at all. Not only does it have to live up to its predecessor, but to the original story, as well.
It did neither of those things. There was zero chemistry between its two main actors, who, in accordance with the story, are supposed to fall in love, and the mystery at its heart was just not that interesting or suspenseful. The series was able to pick itself up and dust itself off as it went on, but the first two seasons are one heck of a slog that’s nearly impossible to get through. Truth be told, while the later seasons are fine, they aren’t worth the agonizing effort of watching Season 1.
7
‘The Rook’ (2019)
For all of the terrible TV shows that overstay their welcome, at least The Rook had the decency to remain a miniseries. Based on a 2012 novel, The Rook bears a rather interesting premise. Taking place in London, the supernatural drama thriller follows a woman named Myfanwy, who wakes up on the Millennium Bridge surrounded by dead bodies, completely unaware of how she got there or what killed all those people. Eventually, she discovers that she is a sleeper agent with a top-secret British intelligence service.
All of that sounds great, right? Unfortunately, the miniseries fell flat in terms of execution. It failed to make its promising storyline interesting, and deviated so far from the novel upon which it is based that it’s nearly unrecognizable. But perhaps worst of all, it’s just so bloody boring. It could have been a really exciting psychological thriller, but they get all the interesting stuff out of the way early and don’t really keep up their momentum.

’13 Reasons Why’ (2017–2020)
13 Reasons Why starts out promising. It opens up with a teenage girl’s death, with her leaving behind a series of tapes, each one listing a reason why she died. These tapes are found by her secret admirer, who, upon listening to them, learns that each of the 13 tapes names specific individuals, with the request being that the tapes be sent to those people so that they can understand their actions and the untimely death of their classmate.
The first season is actually pretty good and remains an intriguing, yet tragic tale of the darker side of adolescence. Unfortunately, the show seriously overstayed its welcome after that, moving far beyond the source material that the original novel provided due to its resounding success. Each subsequent season of the series is pretty terrible and ruined the greatness of the first season entirely. 13 Reasons Why is an example of a show that should have quit while it was ahead and stayed a miniseries rather than trampling all over what made it so popular in the first place.

‘The Walking Dead: World Beyond’ (2020–2021)
The original run of The Walking Dead inspired a few spin-offs here and there, but none have been as truly terrible as The Walking Dead: World Beyond. All the shows are based on a series of comics-turned-graphic novels, and gained pretty positive reception, even though viewership kind of fell off towards the end. The show is pretty basic, with it being about a zombie apocalypse, albeit featuring a huge number of characters, with the spin-offs sort of extending the plotline.
Perhaps what made World Beyond so bad was that it brought nothing new to the table: no new interesting characters, no new developments in the zombie pandemic, no nothing. On top of that, it came out while the original series was still running, making the entire franchise feel overly crowded and hard to swallow. Maybe audiences just needed a break, but World Beyond offered little to reinvent the universe, and didn’t really do the comics any justice, either.
4
‘Supergirl’ (2015–2021)
For all of its campy awfulness, it’s frankly a miracle that Supergirl lasted as long as it did. Supergirl was conceived as a part of the Arrowverse, which has most certainly seen its share of ups and downs over the years. To its credit, Supergirl‘s main cast are experienced and really give it their all during each of their performances. The problem isn’t the actors, it’s literally everything else. The script and dialogue were cringe-inducing, the “action” sequences are cheesy and awkward, but the worst part of it all is the show’s atrocious CGI. Oh man, that CGI.
From obvious green screens to unconvincing visual effects, Supergirl has some of the worst CGI ever seen on television. Clips of it even went viral online because of how horrid the CGI is, becoming the subject of mockery from fans and non-fans alike. Even though that’s the most glaring issue in the show, there’s a whole lot more about it that misses the mark by a mile. Even though it’s based on comic books rather than a novel, Supergirl most definitely counts as one of the worst book-to-TV adaptations ever.
3
‘Inhumans’ (2017)
Inhumans is frequently cited as the worst ever drama series and the worst comic book-to-television adaptation, and it’s most certainly not hard to see why. It was such a travesty that it only lasted eight episodes before being canceled and swept under the rug. Unfortunately, people didn’t forget how atrocious the show was. Honestly, thank goodness this show isn’t part of the MCU, or it could’ve ruined the entirety of the franchise.
Critics were extremely harsh with their reviews, stating that Inhumans tries to do a lot of things, but remarkably, fails to do any of them… or at least, fails to do any of them well. Other critics were even more harsh, saying that calling it a train wreck is almost too generous, because, at least a train wreck, people can’t look away from, whereas Inhumans is so easy to turn off. It’s a mess, and it’s no surprise to anyone that this show was canceled so soon.

‘Are You There, Chelsea?’ (2012)
In general, biographical sitcoms can work, especially biographical sitcoms based on comedians’ lives. Take a look at shows like Seinfeld or Everybody Hates Chris, for example. Both are based on the lives of their comedian creators, and are some of the greatest sitcoms ever conceived. So, when a sitcom was announced based on Chelsea Handler‘s memoir, there was no reason to expect the level of awful that it actually delivered.
The memoir is mostly a collection of humorous anecdotes from Handler’s life, many of them awkward or embarrassing. It’s not exactly high art, but it’s enjoyable and fairly relatable. The show, however, was nothing short of an atrocity. To say it wasn’t funny would be a huge understatement. It lacked every ounce of the dry wit that helped launch the memoir onto the bestseller list, and for all of its attempts, lacked anything original or even remotely humorous. Are You There, Chelsea? is one of the worst sitcoms of all time, and one of the worst adaptations of a book ever made. It’s no surprise to anyone at all that it only lasted one season.
1
‘Caillou’ (1997–2011)
Ask any parent out there, and they’ll tell you no children’s show grinds their gears more than the critically-panned Caillou, an animated series about a four-year-old French-Canadian boy based on a series of picture books. Generally speaking, kids’ shows should be educational, and should present children with ways to deal with real-life situations while also helping them develop basic life skills like reading and writing.
Caillou offered none of that. The titular character is nothing but a whiny, spoiled brat who always gets his way by kicking and screaming or otherwise throwing some sort of tantrum. At no point does it present children with how to deal with negative emotions; instead, it spreads the message that they can get pretty much anything they want if they scream loud enough, so it’s no surprise that parents loathe this show with every fiber of their being. Heck, even non-parents can’t stand the little bald brat and his frequent meltdowns. There have been numerous attempts at a revival, but these have always been met with severe rebuttals from the public. Caillou is a terrible influence on kids, and pretty much everybody hates it, so there’s no doubt that it is, without question, the worst book-to-TV adaptation ever conceived.
