‘Dutton Ranch’ Director Explains How the Beth and Rip Spin-Off Felt Like Making ‘Yellowstone’ Season 6
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Marshals.]
Summary
Director Greg Yaitanes has entered the Yellowstone universe by putting his stamp on episodes of the CBS series Marshals, which has already been picked up for Season 2, and the upcoming Paramount+ series Dutton Ranch. In Marshals, a widowed Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, headed by his former Navy SEAL buddy Cal (Logan Marshall-Green), combining his tactical training with his cowboy skills in bringing range justice to Montana. While over on Dutton Ranch, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) will continue their journey of survival, no doubt with plenty of chaos and drama surrounding them.
Collider recently got the opportunity to chat one-on-one with Yaitanes (Presumed Innocent, House of the Dragon, House) about coming into the world of Yellowstone as a big fan, and how the spin-offs/sequels are most similar and different from not just the original series but each other. During the interview, he talked about reuniting with Quarry star Marshall-Green while directing the first two episodes of Marshals, why he’s drawn to the character of Kayce Dutton, how he felt about the way Monica’s death was handled, the challenges of shooting the big action sequence in episode two of Marshals, why Dutton Ranch felt like a season of Yellowstone, and whether there could be crossovers with the Dutton family in the future.
We also got to discuss how far into Season 2 development they’d gotten on Quarry before the plug was pulled on the series, his time on Banshee, what most impressed him about working with Anya Taylor-Joy on her upcoming Apple TV series Lucky, and why working with Nicolas Cage on the Spider-Noir TV series was a dream come true that he hopes to repeat if there’s a second season.
‘Marshals’ Marked a Reunion for Actor Logan Marshall-Green and Director Greg Yaitanes, After Making ‘Quarry’ Together
“We would all do another season in a heartbeat.”
Collider: I love that you’re reuniting with Logan Marshall-Green by directing episodes of Marshals, but it also reminds me of how salty I am that we never got more episodes of Quarry. Have you gotten over that fact?
GREG YAITANES: We wrote Season 2, and we were on track for Season 2. For a variety of reasons, it didn’t move forward, which was gut-wrenching. We had the scripts. We had a great arc. We just lost Tom Noonan a few weeks ago. The great thing is that it’s a show you could pick up 10 years later with that character. There’s no expiration date. The novels actually are around now, in terms of Logan’s age. Now, Logan’s on a smash TV show, so getting him would be impossible. I had lunch with (co-creator) Michael Fuller, yesterday, actually. It was supposed to be me and (co-creator) Graham [Gordy] and Michael, and Graham’s travel changed, so we didn’t get to have lunch with them. But we’re still in touch. We would all do another season in a heartbeat. It would be perfect. Every single person involved would do it. That said, it was really lovely to see Logan on Marshals and be able to get the opportunity to work with him again.
You said that the scripts were written for Season 2 of Quarry. Were there things that you had been looking forward to getting to do with the second season?
YAITANES: Oh, my God, it was a great season. It was going to be great. The specifics, I don’t remember all the details, but we did have a writers’ room, we wrote the scripts, and we had versions of all the scripts for the season. And then, right in the middle of the process, that’s when we got word that we weren’t moving forward. It was disappointing. But what’s nice is that, 10 years later, I’m on Zooms and people still bring it up. It is meaningful that it had an impact.
Was Season 2 going to have the same tone and vibe, or was it going to be bigger in any way?
YAITANES: It was going to be a pretty direct continuation of where we were. I think we were going to pick up a year later. There was a great story to be had.
It makes me feel lucky that I got a complete four-season story for Banshee. I wonder if that could even happen now.
YAITANES: It was a great time to tell that story the way we told it and how we cast it and a number of things that we did would be almost impossible today. There was a great article written about everything that conspired to have Cinemax not quite work out. It really bummed us all out because I really thought that could have been a great network for high and elevated pulp. I don’t know how it would have survived all the various things that are going on in the industry today. But back then, when they were making The Knick and Quarry and Banshee and Outcast and Strike Back, I just kept imagining that this would be a seven-day-a-week, two-shows-a-night of incredible programming. That would have been something I would have died to have had as a network when I was a teenager.
Even Warrior.
YAITANES: Can’t forget Warrior.
All those shows were so good. It felt like a channel that was just invented for my taste.
YAITANES: Someone someday will talk about it. It will be like ‘70s cinema for TV when they look back on all the great stuff that was on Cinemax at one time.
‘Marshals’ Review: A Bold New Dutton Spin-Off Officially Rewrites Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’
Luke Grimes leads the charge in this Dutton-verse sequel that is full of network potential.
How did you end up directing Marshals? Was it because of Logan Marshall-Green, or was that a coincidence?
YAITANES: No. It was a long process. I met (executive producer) David Glasser at 101 about three years earlier, and we had wanted to work together. They wanted me to come do some of their shows, and I really wanted to do something from the ground up with them. And then, I was watching MobLand and realized that was also being produced by 101. I wrote David, and I think I just happened to be in his head at the right moment, at the right time, and I got the call to take a look at Marshals and see if I’d be interested. I was an insane fan of Yellowstone. I had watched all the prequels and I had watched the other series, all in real time, week to week, so I knew the world. I got the material and showed up for a meeting relatively quickly. Spencer Hudnut was really great to collaborate with. Everything just vibed on the call. It was three years in the making.
‘Marshals’ Director Greg Yaitanes Was Drawn to the Soulful Nature of Kayce Dutton
“I loved working with Luke [Grimes].”
What do you find most interesting about Kayce Dutton as a character at the center of this story?
YAITANES: I also did a block of Dutton Ranch, right after I finished Marshals. When I read it, I didn’t know it was a broadcast pilot. That’s how good I thought the material was. It had such humanity and breathing and just the room to explore themes. I felt like it was a great father-son story when I read the script, and that’s what brought me to it. I thought, wherever Yellowstone was going, this was the continuation because it played like that. When I found out it was broadcast, I hadn’t done broadcast TV for 15 years, since House, so I thought this was a great way to reenter that space again, to a place where I cut my teeth and built things. Kayce is such a soulful character. I don’t know or remember what season and episode it was, but his walkabout episode sold me, as a man trying to work through what he’s carrying. I was really interested.
My first question when I got the scripts, as I was reading them, was, “How are they going to undo Kayce’s happy ending?” He really had a beautiful finish at the end of Yellowstone proper. And I was really moved to see, “Okay, life has gone in another direction.” I almost feel like [episode two] is really the pilot, and [the pilot] was the bridge between Yellowstone and Marshals. [Episode two] is really the show you’re going to be watching. I directed that episode, as well. I loved working with Luke [Grimes]. And then, to have Logan as your wingman, there’s such a deep bench with the cast. Tatanka [Means], I brought from Banshee. He was on Banshee when his dad passed, who was also on Banshee. It was great. I loved working with Spencer, and we had a lovely shorthand.
Fans of Yellowstone definitely seem to feel a certain way about Monica’s death. Were there conversations about how to handle that?
YAITANES: This is why it didn’t strike me as a pilot. There was no exposition about Monica’s death in the pilot. It was exactly what it would be like a year or two after the death of the character. You would be talking about the circumstances around it versus talking about the thing. What was really important was that we had her picture for the protest, and she was lovely to give us permission for that. That was a really critical piece to that scene. That’s what I thought that scene was about.
It feels like there could have been an episode that included Monica and would have shown us what happened to her. It was interesting to see that it was not handled that way.
YAITANES: Yeah, that’s all Spencer. Those conversations definitely preceded me. Immediately, being a single dad to a son, which was something I could personally connect to, having been a single dad at various times in my life, I felt that the way it was handled and the humanity in which it was handled was really beautiful, and I wanted to be part of it.
Things get heated in the latest Dutton drama as Kayce deals with old family secrets.
Have you thought about the parallels between Quarry and Marshals? You have these characters at the center of both stories that have been to war, they’ve had to kill people, they’ve had violence affect and ripple through their lives, and they’re also more likely to be quiet and internal. They seem like kindred spirits in a lot of ways. Is that something that was even on your mind?
YAITANES: There’s definitely a theme and a pattern to the things that I’m attracted to, which is quiet, internal men, carrying a lot and trying to navigate things with the tools they were given, and always striving for better.
Something that runs through Banshee and Marshals are these intertwined communities. With Banshee, we had the Amish community, and with Marshals, you have the reservation. What do you find most interesting about that aspect of the story?
YAITANES: We’re not pandering to anybody. That’s just what makes the world lived-in. If you watched all six seasons, or Season 5A and 5B, of Yellowstone, then you’re going to come loaded with a certain amount of information. And if you’re not, you’re going to catch up. You can enter this show having never watched one Taylor Sheridan show. And if you have, it will be a richer experience, but you will not be dinged for not having been there. In fact, what’s exciting is that this is an entry point for people to then go discover Yellowstone, which makes me thrilled. If they like this enough to want to know more about Kayce, then you have six seasons of a prequel waiting for you.
Real Navy SEAL Consultants Work as Advisors for the Story and the Action Sequences in ‘Marshals’
“At every point, you have a guide for how to do things.”
You’ve shot action sequences and violence for the screen, and particularly in Quarry and Banshee, the action had a very realistic feel to it, as far as the toll it can take. How different was it to do action sequences for Marshals, for a broadcast network TV series? You have a very complex action sequence in episode two.
YAITANES: I loved planning that. Michael Friedman was my second unit director on that, and he’s intimately familiar with the Sheridan universe, in terms of Lioness and Landman, and every other thing he touches. So, having him in my corner was a great collaboration on that. I really studied Yellowstone and the studio has a really helpful document of the pillars of the things that make Yellowstone, Yellowstone, that they kept for the prequels and they branched out. At every point, you have a guide for how to do things. What I always appreciate about the violence and the action is that it’s grounded. It’s not overly stylized.
Banshee was highly stylized and pulpy. Everything in Yellowstone is grounded and comes from a real place. People get punched and hurt. My favorite part of the action is that we get to tap into the Navy SEAL background to Kayce. That allows for all this tactical work. We have real Navy SEALs there. Ryan Sangster was our advisor, and he’s great. I would just say, “What would they do? How would they come up on the trailer or the zone of death? How would they go about it?” We would approach it like, “Okay, this is really happening. Where would your guys be?” And he’d be like, “Well, I’d have a person there, and I’d have a thing here, and I’d make sure of this.” And I was like, “Great, that’s what we’re doing.”
That scene goes from horses to a big shootout and then back to Kayce being back on a horse.
YAITANES: That was so fun. I wanted it to be like Raiders of the Lost Ark. When I was showing people what I wanted it to be, that sequence had to be as fun as something out of Raiders. I definitely got out of the grounded and made it a little more pop and fun for that sequence because it had to be. You can’t have Kayce chasing an SUV [on a horse] and not have a good time with it. It was so cool.
‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off Showrunner Explains Why They Had To Kill Off a Main Character in Episode 1
“We had to shake up his life.”
Did you feel like you had the time you needed to shoot all of that?
YAITANES: Nope. One of the shocks was just coming from my streaming schedule back to my broadcast schedule. That said, because of shows like Banshee, I’m really good at being able to matrix the units and the work so that the sum of the parts is greater than you could expect. We were incredibly strategic. Anytime Luke wasn’t in the zone of death scene, he was on horseback with the other unit. We were trading him and moving around and had blocked out the day in a very strategic way. It was two days, that whole sequence. Everything you saw was shot over two days, sunup to sundown.
It was so interesting to have that sequence end with him shooting the guy that’s already dying. It’s a moment that brings you back to the reality of what Kayce is dealing with, after the exciting action sequence ends.
YAITANES: Yeah, it gets real. He’s a complicated character. He’s got a badge, but he’s still exacting his own form of justice. It keeps the audience perfectly destabilized for what Kayce might do. You can’t fully understand him, which I appreciate. That moment particularly grabbed me. When I read these scripts – I read the first two when I took my meetings – those were the kinds of things that pulled me right in.
‘Marshals’ and ‘Dutton Ranch’ Each Draw From ‘Yellowstone’ in Completely Different Ways
“[‘Dutton Ranch’] has the best parts of what I loved about ‘Yellowstone.’”
You talked about also directing episodes of Dutton Ranch. Are you just all-in on the world of Yellowstone now?
YAITANES: I was halfway through shooting on Marshals, and Glasser was like, “Hey, you’ve done the down and dirty, scrappy version of Yellowstone. Come do our other show.” That was a completely different, but equally rewarding experience. I loved Kelly [Reilly] and Cole [Hauser] and Annette [Bening] and Ed [Harris] and everybody. That cast is just so terrific. I had time. It’s artful. It’s just a different kind of show. It’s much more of a drama and a soap. It has the best parts of what I loved about Yellowstone. Each one was Yellowstone in completely different ways, but each completely honest to the original series. My entry point into the Sheridan universe was starting with Yellowstone and then branching out. I really appreciate David Glasser’s taste. I watched The Agency. I watched MobLand. I watched them all. I’m interested in working with people of good taste.
What did you see as the biggest similarities and differences between the two shows, Marshals and Dutton Ranch?
YAITANES: The biggest similarity is that I’m following each of the surviving siblings of the original series. When you get into the ranch portion of each show, you’re on common ground. That’s what they have in common. And then, how we’re dealing with the human drama and the vulnerability is Yellowstone in both shows. The themes that everybody’s working with, like how everybody deals with their inner torment and how they exorcise it is different for Beth than it is for Kayce. They’re equally compelling offshoots of the original.
Which episodes did you direct for Dutton Ranch?
YAITANES: I did the second block. I did episodes three and four. Christina Voros did the opening two and the end two. It was really fun. It was a lovely invitation. Dutton Ranch has more continuity of crew from the original series. There was something fun about trying to create Yellowstone without a lot of the same craftspeople. Michael, David, and some other people came in to really give us a boot camp on what Yellowstone is and how to execute on it.
Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone Universe Enters a New Era With ‘Dutton Ranch’ First Look
The next chapter of the Yellowstone universe has reportedly wrapped filming.
I spoke to Luke Grimes recently, and we were talked about how it would be cool to see Kayce and Beth together again at some point, and he said that he didn’t know if it would work better to bring her into Marshals or to send him over to Dutton Ranch.
YAITANES: That’s a really good question. We talked about that a lot because each wanted to be on the other show. I feel like Kayce should go to Dutton Ranch. That feels like something that I would lose my shit over as a fan. That would be pretty cool. I just don’t know, in the world of what Marshals is, if Beth coming in would fit into that quite as well. Kayce would just naturally fold into Dutton Ranch because there’s a tonal similarity to the original Yellowstone. A lot of the people involved with Dutton Ranch really felt like they were making Yellowstone Season 6. Marshals is much more genre and guns-forward and those kinds of cool things.
Director Greg Yaitanes Is Excited for Viewers To See the Upcoming Apple TV Series ‘Lucky,’ Starring Anya Taylor-Joy
“When I got the call about that, I was all over it.”
With what I’ve seen of Lucky, that’s another project that looks badass, but this time with a woman, with Anya Taylor-Joy, at the center of it. What drew you to that? What do you love about that character and what she brings to the role?
YAITANES: I’ve wanted to work with Anya since I saw The Witch, and it was Jonathan Tropper again, so when I got the call about that, I was all over it. I got to meet Cassie Pappas, who was showrunning with Jonathan. It was just a great character. And then, my daughter is obsessed with Drew Starkey, from watching Outer Banks. It was Annette [Bening] again and Clifton Collins, and our collaboration was 30 years in the making. And it was Timothy Olyphant and Aunjanue [Ellis-Taylor]. It was a deep bench of great actors in an L.A. crime story. The bench is so deep on that show. It was very similar to how I felt on Presumed Innocent. I’d just go to work every day and look at who was going to be working with who, and it was just exciting to know what I was going to get to do with these pairings. Everybody on the callsheet was a great actor, so watching them work together was a pleasure.
What most impressed you about Anya Taylor-Joy and the work that she does in the series?
YAITANES: It’s really good. I directed episodes two and three of Lucky, which was almost like doing part two of the pilot. It’s a very continuous, interesting story that has got a lot of complexity to it. Anya is great at bringing that kind of nuance and humanity. There’s also something other and unknowable about her that makes me always lean into what she’s doing and what she might be thinking. Just to get to see her every day and be able to craft that performance with her was such a treat.
Her face and her eyes are just incredible. I feel like they do so much work.
YAITANES: Anytime, anywhere that she ever does something else, I’m there.
Directing Episodes of the Prime Video Series ‘Spider-Noir’ Was a Dream Come True for Greg Yaitanes
“I am such a noir nut.”
It’s interesting that you did episodes of Spider-Noir because that feels like a bit different of a project for you. What were the challenges specific to doing that series?
YAITANES: I am such a noir nut that when it came up to the plate, my film school self was all over it. I just ate up noir and it heavily influenced my early work. To be able to dial into and be able to create something that was in the spirit of that was awesome. And then, Nic [Cage] is incredible. I collected comic books from 13 to 18, and then a bit in my 20s. Comic books were truly my escape. There were four different Spider-Man comics, and every week I could get a Spider-Man fix. To imagine that I, who went as Spider-Man for Halloween or played Spider-Man when we would do imaginary play, could go back in time to my 14-year-old comic book-reading self that I would be directing a Spider-Man TV show, I’d think that I was a pretty lucky guy at that point. I really won.
Nic Cage seems like somebody who is just a big kid who doesn’t know how to not have fun.
YAITANES: He’s a big kid. He brought that energy. He was off-book for every episode. He was the first to set. He was the kindest to everybody. He was just terrific. He would just give you great ideas. He could take direction beautifully. He was just a dream. I have literally been watching him since before high school. I had to fangirl him at the beginning. I showed him that my wife has the original painting that became the poster for Valley Girl. I got my fangirling out of the way at the beginning.
He seems totally down for that, though.
YAITANES: He’s down. He’s so funny. We were between takes, and I was like, “Did you ever go to Japan to make commercials?” And he was like, “Oh, my God!” and he got his phone to show them to us and was cracking up with us. He’s in on all of it.
Nicolas Cage’s ‘Spider-Noir’ Leaves the Door Open for Season 2 and Beyond [Exclusive]
Cage is “a spider pretending to be a person” in the upcoming live-action series.
Do you feel like you’ve gotten your fill of noir, or do you feel like you need to do more now because of that?
YAITANES: Oh, my God, if that show has a second season, I’m going to be the first to raise my hand and go back. Every day, I had a great time. I came home from work so excited. I did the final two episodes, so they’re pretty spectacular. I cannot wait for everybody to see it.

Selma Blair is not letting her MS battle stop her from stepping out on the 2026 Oscars red carpet with style!
The actress, who has been open about her health challenge with multiple sclerosis (MS), showed that beauty is limitless with her outstanding look on the red carpet. Her love for fashion shone through, turning heads at the event.
Selma Blair’s journey with MS has been an emotional rollercoaster since her diagnosis in 2018. The ups and downs she’s faced were not kept behind closed doors as she continues to undergo treatment, managing the incurable condition.
Selma Blair Turns Heads With Her Outfit At The 2026 Oscars
Blair stunned the crowd and fans with her fit for the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday as she stepped onto the red carpet. The star wore elegance like a breeze, clad in a glamorous black dress, holding her matching black cane. The outfit was an all-black flowing gown that completely covered her feet and shoes. The actress turned heads in her gown, which featured a voluminous skirt and a black striped lattice pattern from the waist up.
The stripes were designed over a skin-matching toned fabric, which gave the impression of a sheer dress. The gown also highlighted Blair’s hips with the intriguing bodice tilted top, her arms owing to the sleeveless design, and her neck thanks to the low neckline. The event photos show Blair keeping it chic with the accessories.
The star rocked a thick diamond choker, along with bracelets on each wrist and what appears to be two enormous diamond rings on her left ring finger. Her blonde locks were neatly pulled back into a sleek ponytail, adding highlights to her lightly glammed face.
Behind The Movie Star’s Red Carpet Look
As the fashion mogul she is, Blair did not disappoint with her outfit choice for the party; however, she did not take this fashion decision into her hands. Her dress was custom-made and designed by Tamara Ralph.
Blair graced the grounds at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), holding a black cane with a curved silver handle that complemented her daring, sheer dress, which was a statement to her advocacy for disability visibility.
The cane she proudly flaunted was more than a fashion statement; it served as her mobility aid for the night due to her battle with multiple sclerosis (MS). The “Cruel Intentions” star has kept her battle with the illness in the spotlight. Last year, she attended the Vanity Fair party with a different mobility aid: her service dog, Scout.
Selma Blair Advocates For People With Disabilities Through The Fashion World
In 2023, Blair collaborated with her friend and designer Isaac Mizrahi and QVC to produce an inclusive clothing line that celebrates accessible fashion. The Blast shared that her motive was to help people like her by creating outfits with more accessible features than are readily available.
The collection called Isaac Mizrahi Live! x Selma Blair was created through help and joined forces with the disability community. The TV star shared that it had been a long-time dream for her since her diagnosis in 2018. The pair drew inspiration for the adaptive clothing fits from the 53-year-old’s determination and fortitude to push through despite her pain and struggles.
The clothing line’s features include easy-open necklines, stretch fabrics, magnetic closures, and flat seams, all made in accordance with universal design principles. Mizrachi also took time to incorporate other qualities, such as washability, affordability, and the use of very soft textiles.
The ‘Legally Blonde’ Star Draws Support From Her Son
Blair shares her teenage son, Arthur, with her ex-boyfriend Jason Bleick. With MS, which may affect a patient’s vision, cognitive abilities, and balance, the actress notes that most times her fatigue gets overwhelming. Coupled with the fear of losing her voice to the disease, she strives to make as many memories with her son as possible, including her recent venture to record music for Arthur.
The Blast reported that as she navigates through her career, illness, and being a single parent, she finds comfort in having Arthur by her side. Last year, in an interview, the movie star praised her son for being “brave” and always taking “great care” of her when she needed support amid her MS battle.
Blair’s support system has played a pivotal role in her journey. She continues to create awareness about her condition by sharing regular updates with the public. Her strong advocacy pushed fellow screen star, Christina Applegate, to get tested for MS when she started experiencing the tingling sensation in her feet. Applegate, upon noticing this symptom, got her diagnosis for multiple sclerosis in 2021.
Selma Blair’s Journey Has Been A Rough Path
The actress who shared the news of her illness, writing “I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy,” also opened up about the difficulties she faced in healthcare. She revealed that she faced a ton of gender bias and misdiagnosis in the medical world.
Blair explained that doctors dismissed her pain and symptoms, attributing them to menstruation and relationship-related issues. She recounted a time when a doctor told her to get a boyfriend to help take away the pain she was going through.
“I knew the pain was real. I thought it was. But I did start to convince myself, ‘You’re overly sensitive. There’s nothing wrong with you. Get it together, you lazy, lazy whatever,’” she shared. Blair also noted that her male peers who experienced similar symptoms were taken seriously and attended to immediately, while she was often dismissed.
Before her diagnosis came through, the older male doctors she saw labeled her as dramatic and never even ordered an MRI to investigate the reason behind the balance issues, headaches, and recurring fevers she complained about.

The “Hell of a Way to Go” singer joked that he would be passing out phone tethers at his next concert after the painful incident.
Jamie Foxx was one of the names mentioned by Michael B. Jordan during his acceptance speech at the 95th Academy Awards.
Foxx later returned the love with a series of emotional posts on Instagram celebrating his former co-star’s big Oscars victory. The pair previously worked together in the 2019 legal drama “Just Mercy.”
Jordan took home the trophy for Best Actor after earning widespread acclaim for portraying twin characters in the period vampire film “Sinners,” directed by Ryan Coogler.
In one of his posts, Foxx was full of praise for Jordan’s performance in the film, especially the fact that he played two roles.
For this, the “Django Unchained” star argued that Jordan deserved two Oscars.
Jamie Foxx Says Michael B. Jordan Is ‘Operating In Rare Air’ After Oscars Win
As he accepted his award, Jordan made a point of acknowledging every Black winner of the accolade before him.
“I stand here because of the people who came before me,” the actor said. “Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Halle Berry, Forest Whitaker, Will Smith. And so many others who kicked doors open so that actors like me could walk through them.”
Foxx appeared overjoyed to welcome Jordan to the exclusive club. He also promised him a worthwhile after-party to celebrate the achievement.
“Congratulations, my brother,” Foxx wrote. “You’re operating in rare air right now. Celebrate it to the fullest… and trust me, the after-party is going to be crazy.”
Foxx Shared Multiple Instagram Posts In Jordan’s Honor
As the evening went on, Foxx shared several Instagram posts celebrating Jordan’s historic achievement.
In one of the uploads, he reposted a clip of the newly crowned Best Actor delivering his speech acknowledging those who paved the way for him. Foxx captioned the moment: “Words can’t express how proud I am of you. You deserve this and so much more. Congratulations, my brother.”
The multi-talented star shared several other tributes, including montages highlighting Jordan’s many roles throughout his career.
One clip featured Jordan’s character from “The Wire” asking, “So, how do you become a king?”
Another montage showed Sylvester Stallone’s iconic character Rocky Balboa declaring, “It’s your time.”
Jamie Foxx Says Jordan ‘Changed The Culture’
Foxx and Jordan have frequently spoken about each other with deep admiration, even before they eventually co-starred in “Just Mercy.”
In 2018, Foxx hosted the BET Awards, where he praised the cultural impact of Jordan’s performance in “Black Panther.”
“You moved everybody; everybody was moved by that. You changed the culture,” Foxx said.
He then invited Jordan to the stage and asked him to repeat a line from the film that Foxx described as “so significant for today.”
The Killmonger actor responded by quoting his character’s powerful final words from the movie: “Burn me in the oceans with my ancestors [who] jumped from the ships because they knew that death was better than bondage.”
The ‘Black Panther’ Star Calls Foxx His ‘Big Brother’
That same year, the pair joined forces for a basketball shoot-off as part of Jordan’s MBJAM’s fundraiser for Lupus LA.
Speaking to ET Online on the sidelines of the event, Jordan revealed that the sport had actually played a key role in strengthening his relationship with Foxx.
“I met Jamie when I was really young and first moved out here,” Jordan said. “Playing basketball together, we had a lot of mutual friends, and he’s just always been a mentor and a big brother to me.”
The “Creed” star also expressed his admiration for Foxx’s wide range of talents. “He’s a multi-faceted, talented man who can do so many different things,” Jordan said.
Jamie Foxx Promotes His New Song ‘Somebody’ On Instagram
Over the past year, Foxx has been steadily returning to the spotlight following the serious medical emergency he suffered in 2023.
Before celebrating Jordan’s Oscar win on his Instagram, the singer had already taken to the platform to promote his latest single.
“Somebody” is the title of Foxx’s new ballad, which he released on the eve of Valentine’s Day this year.
In the post, the artist can be seen holding a rose and standing on a boat deck out on the ocean at night.
Superimposed on the image is text that reads: “Jamie Foxx. Somebody. Available on all streaming platforms.”
Editor’s note: The below interview contains spoilers for Paradise Season 2 Episode 6.
If viewers thought that the first season of Hulu’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi series Paradise was intense, the show’s return ups the ante on a variety of fronts. Not only does the story finally move beyond the Colorado bunker to confirm what life has been like for the survivors left behind on the surface, but the situation inside Paradise has never been more fraught, with increased security and monitoring even before Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) makes an extreme move to take her power back. On the surface, Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) has flown away from the bunker in an effort to reunite with his wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma), but their reunion is proving more complicated than he could have foreseen.
Ahead of the Season 2 premiere, Collider had the opportunity to speak with several cast members, including Brown and Nicholson, about some of their characters’ most pivotal moments over the first six episodes. Over the course of the interview, which you can watch above or read below, Brown explains why the Dan Fogelman-created series will never become too bleak, while Nicholson reveals what Sinatra is thinking about that big group, led by Thomas Doherty‘s Link, that just showed up outside the bunker, as well as her ever-complicated dynamic with Jane (Nicole Brydon Bloom).
COLLIDER: Sterling, there’s a lot more story that takes place outside the bunker this season, including flashbacks with new characters and a really strong sense of what it’s been like for survivors on the surface, but it always feels like the show circles back to emphasizing the innate goodness in people. What kind of conversations did you and Dan [Fogelman] have about always trying to showcase kindness between the survivors over the tone that a lot of these other post-apocalyptic narratives tend to take, where they’re a little bit more brutal?
STERLING K. BROWN: I think that’s an astute observation, and I think that’s sort of core to who Dan is as a person, and what he wants to point the world towards, is that in a global catastrophe, what have you, there’s a tendency to either become very selfish or selfless, and that you can afford and try to keep things to yourself, or you can open yourself up and recognize that there is a greater level of community and existence that we have when we share ourselves with each other, rather than keeping ourselves apart.
So, I think he wasn’t interested in the bleakness of the world so much as how it affects people and what it pulls out of you. I think in his own little way, he’s always saying that moving towards the light is good for everyone. It’s not a zero-sum game, right? I think especially in today’s world, there’s this prevailing feeling that if somebody gets something, somebody else has to lose something. The rising tide can lift all boats. A win for me can be a win for everybody else. So, I think it’s subtle, but I think it’s present, for sure.
Julianne Nicholson Reveals Sinatra’s True Intentions Toward Link’s Group in ‘Paradise’ Season 2
“No one else can come inside.”
What’s happening on the surface sits in sharp contrast to what’s happening in the bunker in Season 2, where there’s this increased sense of paranoia, law and order have really taken this more militaristic feeling. Julianne, Sinatra still sits at the heart of it. Even though, initially, you believe that she may be knocked down, she’s not out at all.
BROWN: “I get knocked down, but I get up again…” [Laughs] That’s great.
I loved the twist [of] the breath mint reveal.
BROWN: [Laughs] It’s so good!
JULIANNE NICHOLSON: I don’t think I knew that when we were filming it. I think that I figured it out later. I don’t know why the ball dropped later. I was like, “Oh, no, it’s not just his breath.” [Laughs]
3 Episodes In, ‘Paradise’ Season 2 Just Confirmed the Bunker’s Biggest Threat
A wolf in sheep’s clothing might tear everything apart.
Not only does it leave the door open for her to basically walk back through and assume her seat of power again, but then it builds to Link and the caravan that is setting up outside the bunker, and how Sinatra is going to deal with it. Do you feel like Sinatra really has any intention of negotiating in good faith, or is her outlook, “What do I have to do to get rid of these people?”
BROWN: Oh, this is good.
NICHOLSON: No. I think she wants to get rid of these people. No one else can come inside. Paradise has been designed within a fraction of a millimeter of its life to be able to maintain this amount of people for X amount of time. So, she is not interested at all, and she’s trying to give them something that they want and send them on their way.
Sterling K. Brown Explains How He Became the “Baby Whisperer” in ‘Paradise’ Season 2
“I’m kind of like Cesar Millan, but with babies.”
Sterling, I just spoke with Shailene [Woodley], and obviously, the circumstances around what happens with Annie this season are so heartbreaking, but it is very sweet to see you carrying around a little baby this season. How much of the parenting knowledge that Xavier extends this season came from your own experience, or Dan’s, or any of the writers’?
BROWN: I have way more experience than Fogelman with kids. He’s just got one, and he’s only about five years in. I’m 14 years into the game, Carly. And let us emphasize, for the spoilers of it, it’s not just a baby. I like little white babies. I like to carry little white babies around. It makes me very happy. I think it’s a delightful picture. No, I love babies. Actually, my whole career, I’ve always had babies and children in my sphere, and off-camera, I will go to the nurse or to the moms, and I hang out with the babies so we get a sense of comfort with one another, so when we get on screen with each other, the baby knows me. It is one of my favorite things to do. I’m kind of like Cesar Millan, but with babies.
NICHOLSON: He’s the baby whisperer.
BROWN: I’m the baby whisperer. So, yeah, it’s great — mostly for me. And I think Dan actually likes putting me in scenes with children because I think he knows I’m just a 50-year-old child to begin with.
NICHOLSON: Wait, because then you have all those little kids, as well.
BROWN: That’s right.
NICHOLSON: That’s so sweet.
Pivoting to an almost mother-daughter relationship that’s maybe a little less maternal, but I get the feeling this season with Sinatra and Jane that Jane almost regards Sinatra as the mother that she never had. Julianne, what do you think Sinatra’s feelings are towards Jane, especially in the wake of the shooting in the finale of Season 1?
NICHOLSON: She’s not giving it all away to Jane at this point. It was so fun to do that scene that Jane and Sinatra have together that our fantastic Ken Olin directed, where they’re figuring out, sussing out, what Sinatra remembers and what Jane feels comfortable sharing. It’s a really fun relationship to play with Nicole [Brydon Bloom]. She’s such a wonderful actor, and I do think she looks at Sinatra as sort of a mentor or mother figure, like somebody to look up to. But Sinatra, again, is keeping both eyes open. Fool me once.
New episodes of Paradise Season 2 premiere Mondays on Hulu.
Taylor Frankie Paul and her on-again, off-again relationship with ex-boyfriend (and the father of her son) Dakota Mortensen has always been one of the major storylines on the massively popular Hulu reality series “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” but apparently, recent drama between the two has caused production for the show to be paused.
As fans continue to take in the show’s fourth season, which recently dropped on March 12, the cast has been filming the upcoming fifth season. However, the former couple reportedly had a recent incident that resulted in production being shut down.
‘Mormon Wives’ Production Reportedly Shuts Down Due To Drama With Taylor Frankie Paul And Dakota Mortensen
According to TMZ, inside sources connected to “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” told the outlet that due to a heated incident between the show’s star, Taylor Frankie Paul, and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, production for season 5 has been paused for now.
Currently, the details of the reported fight have not been revealed, but apparently, it was serious enough to cause filming to cease.
Sources further shared with the outlet that production is “taking the matter seriously and handling with caution.”
Throughout the recently released fourth season, Paul and Mortensen have multiple blow-up fights that put the rest of the cast in the middle of the drama.
Taylor Frankie Paul Revealed That Season 4 Of ‘Mormon Wives’ Was ‘Extremely Hard’ To Watch
In a recent Instagram post, following the release of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” season 4, Taylor Frankie Paul shared insight into the difficulties of filming the season.
“I for the first time sat down and watched this season and it was extremely hard to do,” Paul began in the caption of the post. “These aren’t just story lines, these are our actual lives we are sharing. I’ll speak for myself on this, I’m not sharing to appease or switch ‘story lines’ for anyone’s entertainment.”
“A big reason I continue on is to potentially help someone,” she continued. “I know this because I’ve personally watched and listened to people’s experience and it helped me. Takes courage to share such vulnerable topics with an audience. My heart goes out to those around me that share and everyone else that continue to do so the hugs will always outweigh the hate for me.”
The Reality Star Recently Shared Her Mental Health Struggles
On February 23, Paul shared on Instagram that she has been recently “struggling” with her mental health.
She posted a series of photos documenting her recent struggles with mental health, including a cluttered home, screenshots of texts of her checking in on friends, and a main image of her smiling through tears.
Paul coupled the photo dump with a lengthy caption detailing her struggles with mental health, despite how things may appear on the surface.
“I guess an upside of struggling mentally is you start to sense and see the signs of others feeling the same,” Paul’s caption began. “We’re out here just checking in on each other when we can, and when we don’t respond, it’s not taken personally because we get it.”
“Just be mindful that sometimes that person checking in is the one needing help… and that one took me time to learn,” the reality star continued. “I sometimes ask myself what’s the point of all this sharing this sh—t and I tell myself it may be as simple as making someone feel less alone and if it helps just a few people than it’s worth it.”
Paul Is Gearing Up For Her Controversial Debut As ‘The Bachelorette’
On March 22, Taylor Frankie Paul will make her debut on the 22nd season of the long-running ABC reality dating series and will make history as the first non-‘Bachelor’ alumna to lead the franchise.
Many fans of the show and critics of her past indiscretions were not happy about her joining the show, including “The View” co-host Joy Behar, who questioned whether she is “Bachelorette” material.
“She has three kids and two baby daddies,” Behar said shortly after Paul’s casting announcement. “Will these bachelors line up to be baby daddy number three?”
The ‘Mormon Wives’ Star Addressed The Criticism Of Her ‘Bachelorette’ Casting
In a November 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paul noted the mixed reaction from the show’s fans but said she was still up for the challenge.
“I feel like it’s very fair to see some things and be like, ‘Oh, not a fan,’ if you’re looking at just very few things. What I will say is maybe tune in to make sure you’re really getting a read on who and how I am,” she said. Because if [you’ve] not really seen anything [I’m in], then you maybe only know my news headlines, which maybe aren’t the prettiest ones.”
“I feel like if you were to ever watch me, hear my story, I think I come off a little bit differently than people would just assume,” Paul continued. “I think maybe just give me a shot and see, and then at the end, if you’re still like, ‘Nah,’ then that’s up to them. But until then, I would just maybe give me a shot at just seeing who I am, really. That would be my only ask.”
After false romance rumors in the past, Virgin River‘s Ben Hollingsworth would love to work with friend Nina Dobrev on a rom-com.
“There was always this rumor that Nina and I used to date. That’s not true. We didn’t,” Hollingsworth, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly. “We used to be housemates in Toronto when I was a guest star on Degrassi and she was on Degrassi at the same time. We needed another roommate in our house — we had four actors living in a house — and she came in.”
Hollingsworth recalled Dobrev, 37, subsequently booking her lead role on The Vampire Diaries.
“We went to Los Angeles at the same time she booked The Vampire Diaries and I booked a show on the CW called The Beautiful Life, which only went for a minute,” he continued. “It would be great to reunite with Nina. She’s awesome and we’re great friends. Although it’d be a little weird, it’d be a lot of fun to do it.”
The actor, who shares three kids with wife Nila Myers, told Us that he is having a blast starring in romantic projects. However, he is also interested in any and all opportunities as he prepares to film season 8 of Virgin River.
“[Romance projects are] something that comes to me often. We get a lot of offers for that stuff, but it’s really tricky because you want to balance that,” Hollingsworth explained. “I’m a trained actor. I went to a conservatory and spent three years studying acting when I was 19 through 21. So I’ve got a really diverse background of theater training and I love stretching my range. I’ve had the opportunity to do it a little bit — and I want to continue to do that.”
He continued: “Maybe I can do [something like] Bridgerton. I love the idea of doing a period piece. I love action stuff and you see Brady do a little bit of it in Virgin River. I love doing my own stunts and working with stunt doubles. So it’d be fun to do kind of like a buddy cop action movie, too. We’ll see.”
Hollingsworth had a memorable season on Virgin River after his character Brady was involved in a motorcycle crash.
Virgin River centers around the dramatic love lives of those living in a small town, but the cast has found more stable relationships in real life. The Netflix drama, which debuted in 2019, centers around Melinda “Mel” Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), a widow who answers an ad to work as a midwife and nurse practitioner in […]
“That’s pretty much on par for Brady’s luck,” Hollingsworth quipped to Us. “I guess I just can’t have nice things. I guess Brady just can’t have nice things.”
Hollingsworth hinted that “it won’t be all smooth sailing” when Netflix’s longest-running scripted series returns for season 8, adding, “I definitely can’t spoil that. I think that’s going to be something that the audience is just going to have to wait another year to find out.”
Hollingsworth confirmed he knows where Brady will end up. “I would love for Brady to be back. That would be nice. I’d love for him not to die — especially because he finally just got what he wanted,” he concluded.
Virgin River is currently streaming on Netflix.

Do you ever long for a film that smashes together several very different genres, effectively creating something new? The Green Knight (2021) is currently streaming on Netflix, and what I like best about this film is that it blends together two of my favorite genres: high fantasy and bonkers road trip. That is, it has all the magic and mystical adventure you’d expect from a Lord of the Rings movie and all the wacky supporting characters and inexplicable side quests you’d expect from a National Lampoon’s Vacation movie.
The result is something oddly hypnotic, and this film transforms a dusty text from the 14th century into something provocative and unapologetically sexy. You can enjoy it as a poignant deconstruction of one of the most famous works in literary history, or you can simply enjoy it as a beautiful road trip full of sex, violence, and monsters. With more than a few drops of horror movie blood in its DNA, The Green Knight remains one of the most memorable weird films of the last decade.
Working On His Knight Moves
The premise of The Green Knight is that a young warrior, Sir Gawain, is eager to prove himself by landing a blow on the titular Green Knight, ignoring the warning that, in one year’s time, he’ll need to receive a similar blow from his foe. He doesn’t think that will be a problem after he decapitates his foe. However, the Green Knight calmly picks up his head and reminds the young man of the bargain he made. One year later, Sir Gawain gathers his courage and his honor as he embarks on a road trip that can only end one way: with his own decapitation.
The Green Knight doesn’t have too many big names: the titular villain is played by Ralph Ineson (best known for The Witch), and Barry Keoghan (best known for Saltburn) has a small role as a scavenger. Sean Harris (best known for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation) plays King Arthur, while Alicia Vikander (best known for Ex Machina) plays Sir Gawain’s love interest. As for Gawain, he is played by Dev Patel (best known for Slumdog Millionaire), who is mesmerizing as our lead. He sells the initial cockiness of his hot-blooded knight as well as the humbling transformation of his quest, ultimately making one of literature’s most famous characters flawed and compellingly down-to-Earth.
Questions, Axed And Answered
If some of this sounds familiar, that means you haven’t entirely drunk away the memories of your college Literature courses. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was a 14th-century verse poem written by an unknown scribe, and it’s considered one of the most popular and influential stories about King Arthur and his court. The original poem inspired Lord of the Rings creator J.R.R. Tolkien, and in a bit of inspired irony, the beautiful picaresque production of the movie clearly takes some visual inspiration from the LOTR adaptations directed by Peter Jackson.
Despite its lush visuals and impeccable casting, The Green Knight didn’t have enough “green nights” at the box office. The movie ultimately earned $20 million against a budget of $15 million, making it far less of a breakout pop culture success than other A24 productions like Hereditary and Midsommar. Nonetheless, this medieval mashup was a huge hit with the critics and with anyone who loves losing themselves in an impossibly detailed fantasy world.
A Scary Good Time
When The Green Knight came out, it was one of those films that delighted critics and baffled general audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 89 percent critical score, with reviewers praising the film for being such a fascinating deconstruction of its medieval source material. They also commended the movie as a spectacle, one that successfully cast a spell on the audience. Not everyone who watched felt that way, though: The Green Knight notably has a 50 percent audience score, with general moviegoers complaining that the film deviates too much from the original tale and frustratingly leaves major aspects of the story up to interpretation.
So, with critics loving it and casual audiences hating it, that brings us to the big question: why should you watch The Green Knight? The first, most obvious reason is that this film is a visual feast. From beginning to end, everything feels mesmerizingly dreamlike, and each scene will bring you deeper and deeper into this film’s fantastic spell. While they are very different types of movies, the visuals in The Green Knight often reminded me of the surreal visual landscape of Mandy, which turned every frame into the nightmare fuel of a fever dream.
Dungeons And Dreamers
Plus, at the risk of glazing the picture a little too much, The Green Knight may be the best fantasy movie since the original Fellowship of the Ring. That’s partially because of the amazing worldbuilding. Like the Hobbits in Peter Jackson’s seminal film, those watching this modern medieval masterpiece never know what fantastic vision will greet them next. For better or for worse, The Green Knight also cribs from the original Lord of the Rings texts in focusing less on fantastic battles and more on exploration and introspection. That’s bad news for those expecting endless duels, but great news for those wanting a fantasy movie that makes them really think.
It may not seem like it from the outside looking in, but The Green Knight is also perfectly aimed at men because this tale of knights, fights, and medieval tights is secretly all about exploring masculine ideas. What does it mean to be honorable, this movie asks, and why is it important to put your life on the line for what you believe? What does it mean to dedicate your life to a higher cause, and how is such a decision as confining as it is liberating?
Your Sexy Adventure Awaits
I get that you might have stayed away from The Green Knight because it looks like a frilly, frou-frou fantasy, but trust me: this movie is steeped in the chivalric code of the medieval world, and its exploration of what it means to be a real man almost shockingly echoes the concerns of the modern world. Plus, this exploration of masculine ideals is wrapped in such stunning visuals that you won’t want to miss a single frame. A film about manly men, served up with some serious eye candy. Honestly, what more could you want?
Are you ready to dive into the trippiest literary adaptation ever filmed, or would you rather just read the Cliff’s Notes rather than finish The Green Knight? The only way to find out is to undertake your own epic quest (from the bathroom to the living room) and retrieve the most enchanted object in your home: the remote control. It might not help you cut the head off an immortal warrior, but it will help transport you to the most ambitiously weird blockbuster of the last decade.
Teyana Taylor might’ve looked like the one dripped in Chanel at the 2026 Oscars. However, a heated moment with security proved she wasn’t—at least, not one to play with!

Viral Clip Shows Teyana Taylor Clocking Man
As mentioned, the internet learned of the heated moment after a clip from X account @MattWallace888 circulated. The viral video has over 1.9 million views on X as of Monday morning, more than 1,300 replies and over 17,000 likes.
In it, Teyana Taylor is heard telling the unidentified man and onlookers that he shoved her. She also calls him “very rude” several times while pointing in his direction.
“You’re a man putting your hands on a female,” the ‘One Battle After Another’ star says in the viral clip.
Another woman near Teyana is heard saying, “…uncalled for” and afterwards gently grabs Taylor’s pointing hand. TT then explains to another woman near her why she popped off, saying, “Everybody’s having a good time. But when you shove me, it’s a different story…Do not touch me, do not shove me.”

Teyana Explains Why She Popped Off
Later in the evening, TMZ caught up with TT. She was open about her reason for sounding off on the security guard, clarifying that everything was “all good.”
“Security was just doing a lot,” Teyana Taylor said. “There’s always that one, but I’m perfectly fine. I’m happy. There’s nothing to wonder. The first thing people do is definitely make assumptions. But at the end of the day I just don’t tolerate disrespect, especially when it’s unwarranted and unprovoked.”
Taylor Didn’t Win First Oscar, But ‘One Battle After Another’ Cleared
On Sunday night, Teyana Taylor was up for her first Oscar for ‘Best Supporting Actress.’ She got the nod for her role as Perfidia in ‘One Battle After Another.’ However, she ultimately lost to Amy Madigan in ‘Weapons.’
Meanwhile, the film itself came in with 13 nominations, and by the end of the night had won six. ‘One Battle After Another’ cleared in the ‘Best Picture,’ ‘Best Director,’ ‘Best Casting,’ ‘Adapted Screenplay,’ ‘Editing’ and ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for Sean Penn. While accepting the ‘Best Picture’ award, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson credited Teyana Taylor and the rest of the cast, who joined him on stage.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Taylor Sheridan has assembled a star-studded cast in his newest hit The Madison — but who does each actor play after numerous shocking onscreen deaths?
According to the official synopsis, The Madison follows the Clyburn family from New York City, who “relocate to the Madison River valley of southwest Montana for emotional recovery following a tragedy that shattered the family.”
Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell make up the cast in addition to stars Patrick J. Adams, Elle Chapman, Matthew Fox, Beau Garrett, Alaina Pollack, Amiah Miller as members of the Clyburn family. Ben Schnetzer, Kevin Zegers. Rebecca Spence and Danielle Vasinova are also featured in the hit Paramount+ series.
“Taylor has a wonderful knack of putting what he wants to be known from the script into the script. There is always a specificity to what locations are — to what moment of the scene is the most resonant to character descriptions,” executive producer and director Christina Alexandra Voros exclusively told Us Weekly about collaborating with Sheridan. “There’s so much DNA in the scripts themselves that there are fewer conversations than you would think [between us]. We’ve been working together for a very long time. I feel lucky enough to have been trusted with interpreting his writing for screen for a very long time.”
Voros also weighed in on Russell calling The Madison “a very female-gaze-oriented show,” adding, “I agree with Kurt. It is through a feminine gaze. But Taylor has always written strong women. He has always imbued his female characters with ferociousness and complexity that is really exciting to play with as an actress and also as a director.”
She continued: “In some ways, The Madison feels like a more feminine gaze — perhaps because you have all of these female protagonists — but I think he has had that element in his writing all along.”
