Luke Evans Stuns Tonys With Performance Fans Can’t Forget
Luke Evans turned one of Broadway’s biggest nights into a social media frenzy when he took the stage at the Tony Awards and delivered a performance that instantly became one of the ceremony’s most talked-about moments.
The actor, currently starring in a revival of “The Rocky Horror Show,” stunned viewers with a daring costume choice while performing the show’s iconic anthem “Sweet Transvestite.”
Within minutes, fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from shock to admiration.
Luke Evans appeared during Sunday’s ceremony at Radio City Music Hall as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the flamboyant character immortalized by Tim Curry in the 1975 film adaptation of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
The performance centered on “Sweet Transvestite,” one of the musical’s most recognizable songs and a fan favorite for decades.
While audiences knew Evans would be taking on the role for the Broadway revival, many were unprepared for just how far he would lean into the character during the televised performance.
The 47-year-old made a dramatic entrance before turning toward the audience and cameras in a revealing costume featuring fishnet stockings and a jockstrap thong.
The look quickly became one of the defining images of the night and immediately set social media ablaze.
For many viewers, Evans’ interpretation stood apart from previous versions of the role and gave the classic character a distinctly modern edge.
Evans’ Costume Sparks A Flood Of Online Reactions
Almost as soon as the performance aired, social media users began sharing stunned reactions. One viewer joked per the Daily Mail, “Did not have Luke Evans showing full hole in a jockstrap thong at the Tonys on my 2026 bingo card.”
Another praised Luke Evans’ confidence, writing, “Luke Evans said: ‘we’re going a size smaller for tonight’s jockstrap’ to his dresser. And I commend him for it. Show it off, honey.”
Others appeared shocked that the outfit made it onto a nationally televised awards show.
“I didn’t know he’d be able to wear the jockstrap on national television UGHHHH LUKE EVANSSSSS STEP ON ME,” one fan posted.
Another viewer laughed, “I can’t believe they didn’t find a way to censor Luke Evans’ costume for this TV performance.”
Luke Evans Swapped His Red Carpet Elegance For A Much Bolder Look
The stage costume was in sharp contrast to the polished appearance Evans had showcased earlier in the evening.
Before taking the stage, the singer walked the red carpet in a classic white tuxedo alongside his boyfriend, Spanish entrepreneur Fran Tomas.
The elegant appearance gave little indication of the eye-catching performance that would follow later in the evening.
Although many younger fans know Evans primarily through his film work, the Hollywood star’s background is deeply rooted in musical theater.
Before becoming a Hollywood star, he built a successful stage career through productions in London’s West End, appearing in major musicals including “Rent” and “Miss Saigon.”
That theatrical experience ultimately brought him back to Broadway for “The Rocky Horror Show” revival, where he has earned acclaim for his take on Frank-N-Furter.
Evans Earned A Major Tony Nomination For His Performance
Luke Evans’ work in “The Rocky Horror Show” earned him a nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Musical at Sunday’s ceremony.
However, the award ultimately went to Joshua Henry for “Ragtime.” Other nominees included Brandon Uranowitz, also for “Ragtime,” Sam Tutty for “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York),” and Nicholas Christopher for a revival of “Chess.”
Despite missing out on the trophy, Evans remained one of the evening’s most discussed performers thanks to his unforgettable musical number.
His journey to Broadway recognition follows years of success on the big screen, during which he became known worldwide for portraying Bard the Bowman in Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” trilogy.
He later expanded his profile further by playing Gaston opposite Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in Disney’s live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Luke Evans’ ‘Rocky Horror’ Revival Faced Tough Competition Throughout The Night
Evans was not the only member of “The Rocky Horror Show” company recognized during the ceremony.
Co-star Stephanie Hsu received a nomination for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Janet, a role famously played by Susan Sarandon on screen. Hsu ultimately lost to Caissie Levy for “Ragtime.”
The category also featured Christiani Pitts for “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York),” Sara Chase for “Schmigadoon!,” and Marla Mindelle for “Titanique,” the musical parody built around Celine Dion’s songs.
Meanwhile, “The Rocky Horror Show” itself competed for Best Revival of a Musical. The production ultimately fell short against “Ragtime,” which enjoyed one of the strongest nights of the ceremony.
The revival category also included “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” a reimagined version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic that pays tribute to queer Harlem ballroom culture.

As a rule of thumb, if you are to adapt a video game into an on-screen adaptation, then you must remain faithful to the source material as much as possible. Faithfulness to the original story is what has made adaptations such as HBO’s The Last of Us such an impressive success story. Before the Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey-led series became a hit, Netflix had already brought Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy novels and the video game iterations to live action with The Witcher series. However, before these shows came to the fore, there was one mega tournament that held sway.
The Mortal Kombat game franchise is one of the most familiar IPs in the world. The allure of the franchise has since triggered several adaptations over the years, some more successful than others. The original movie adaptation came in 1995 and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. The 1997 sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, was directed by John R. Leonetti and didn’t perform as well as its predecessor. A cinematic reboot, Mortal Kombat, was released in 2021 and aimed to recapture some of the magic of the video games. Despite not featuring the titular tournament, the movie, which was directed by Simon McQuoid, enjoyed relative success and thus, a sequel was penned.
When Mortal Kombat II premiered earlier this year, it saw the return of its terrific cast, including Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki Sanada, and a wild Josh Lawson. The sequel went on to add new faces in Karl Urban and Adeline Rudolph. Following its somewhat mediocre showing at the box office, Mortal Kombat II is hitting digital Video on Demand platforms early. Digital platforms like Fandango at Home and Apple TV are listing the Urban-led sequel as having a digital release date of June 9, 2026. The sequel, written by Jeremy Slater and featuring fan-favorite characters such as Johnny Cage (Urban), Kitana (Rudolph), and Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, among many others was still unable to perform at the box office. This is despite having a much better critical reception this time around than its 2021 predecessor.
What Are the Chances of ‘Mortal Kombat III’?
Mortal Kombat II‘s box office release date was initially moved in order to reduce its competition at the box office. Unfortunately, the sequel found itself in conflict with the record-setting biopic Michael, starring Jafaar Jackson as his late uncle, and The Devil Wears Prada 2, which reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. So does Mortal Kombat II‘s dismal box office performance impact the chances of a third movie? For now, that remains to be seen. However, director McQuoid, speaking in May, discussed the prospect of Mortal Kombat III. McQuoid remained humble, noting he doesn’t want to come across as being “overly confident” but, it’s something “you think about it, and you theorize it.”
Mortal Kombat II is now showing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Caissie Levy attributed her 2026 Tony Award win, in part, to a support network of babysitters.
“Thank you to … every babysitter who’s made it possible for me to be both a Broadway actor and a mother,” the mom-of-two, 45, said during her Tony Awards acceptance speech inside New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 7.
Winning in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for her work as Mother in the revival of Ragtime, Levy also thanked her children, Izaiah, 10, and Talulah, 5, whom she shares with husband David Reiser.
“Thank you to my Ragtime family,” Levy began. “Playing Mother has been one of the greatest gifts of my artistic life, and being mother to my kids has been the greatest joy of my life. Izaiah and Talulah, I love you, and although I’m not there to tuck you in each night, you have to know that part of my heart stays home with you.”

Levy’s speech, which touched on her childhood dreams of becoming a Broadway star while growing up in Canada, concluded, “I love acting, I love theater, I love this incredible community. I’m so honored, thank you so much.”
Levy also thanked her parents, who joined her at the awards ceremony, and Reiser, a composer and writer. “My husband, David, where are you — wave at me, hi —I’m so proud of the life we’ve built together,” she said. “I love you, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”
While Ragtime has kept Levy on Broadway since October 2025, the actress stepped away from the Broadway-bound Lost Boys musical in November that year due to the demand of her family. She told Elle in an interview published on May 29 that her children had a “very difficult start to the school year” and needed more from her. “It became very obvious in a matter of weeks that there was no way I could go back into a [rehearsal] process [for The Lost Boys] and basically be gone for three months straight from my kids’ lives,” she told the outlet.
Paying tribute to the child care network she referenced in her Tony Awards speech, Levy added that their support has been crucial in getting her to where she is today. “I’m very fortunate to have this support system that definitely is integral to making a Broadway schedule work. The babysitters and nannies of the world, they are the heroes of my life, truly, and they always have been,” she said. “I’ve had past students of mine become little sisters who have helped me with my children. These young women have literally enabled me to have a career and have a child and be a parent at the same time.”
Past Chicago stars brought all that jazz to the 2026 Tony Awards to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved musical. Whitney Leavitt, Julianne Hough, Pink, Queen Latifah, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Dylan Mulvaney and more performed multiple during the Sunday, June 7, awards show at Radio City Music Hall in New […]
Levy continued, “I am always all about lifting up the babysitters and the nannies and the, sort of, tribes that we lean on to help raise our kids. To get to raise kids in this environment is so amazing, to have them backstage at the theater and have all these aunties and uncles in the cast and crew. It does take a whole village of people to help you do it.”

Steven Spielberg’s Forgotten Apple TV Sci-Fi Series Makes a Streaming Comeback Ahead of ‘Disclosure Day’
A good, bizarre anthology like Fargo or Love, Death Robots or American Horror Stories has the power to carry audiences into a very unique realm. But if the anthology’s drop comes at the wrong time and doesn’t become part of a bigger conversation, it’s very easy for a limited series to get pushed under the rug. This is what happened to this Steven Spielberg-made supernatural-thriller anthology.
The 2020 Apple TV reboot had the right pedigree on paper, with Spielberg producing alongside Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Eddy Kitsis, Adam Horowitz, and others. But this series arrived when Apple’s streaming identity was still being built, and the show never became the kind of defining early hit that gave the platform its personality. Its reception is also mixed, with a 6.2 IMDb rating and a 40% Rotten Tomatoes score, which probably did not help its case and made it easy for the anthology to disappear into the early Apple TV library while bigger conversations formed around shows like Ted Lasso, Severance, For All Mankind, and The Morning Show.
Now, six years later, Amazing Stories is suddenly showing chart life on the Apple TV Store in the United States. It was absent from the chart on May 30, May 31, and June 1, appeared at No. 14 on June 2, then jumped all the way to No. 3 on June 3, and has held that same No. 3 position on June 4 and June 5, 2026. That is a small but genuinely interesting second life for a reboot that never dominated the conversation during its original run.
‘Amazing Stories’ Was Probably Too Early for Apple TV’s Bigger Identity
Amazing Stories premiered on March 6, 2020, before Apple TV had fully taught audiences what kind of streamer it wanted to be. A Spielberg-produced anthology should have been a major calling card, but Apple’s brand had not yet hardened around prestige sci-fi, glossy workplace drama, sports comedy, and high-concept originals. In hindsight, the reboot feels like one of those early platform experiments that got buried before viewers had a reason to browse the library deeply.
The show has 5 episodes, and its cast ensemble is solid too — it includes names like Kerry Bishé, Josh Holloway, Austin Stowell, Dylan O’Brien, and Victoria Pedretti, among others.
Amazing Stories is currently trending on the Apple TV Store. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Kit Harington has shared a candid update on his relationship with his former castmates from the hit TV series “Game of Thrones.”
The final episode of the iconic show aired in 2019, and Harington has now revealed that many of the cast members have largely lost touch in the years since the show ended.
From 2011 to 2019, Harington and his “Game of Thrones” co-stars captivated audiences across eight seasons, helping turn the fantasy drama into one of television’s most iconic series.
Since the show’s conclusion, many of the cast members have pursued new projects. Harington himself has remained active with roles in productions including the financial thriller “Industry.”
The passage of time has also changed some of the relationships forged during the show’s run, as Harington revealed when former co-star Peter Dinklage asked whether he still keeps in touch with members of the cast.
“With Emilia [Clarke], yes, because she’s just down the road,” Harington shared during the interview. “But there’s an element of school leavers to it. We finished the thing, the magic is gone, and everyone has to separate.”
Harington and Dinklage were speaking as part of Variety’s Actors on Actors series.
The Actor Says Everyone Needed Some Space
Beyond keeping in touch with Clarke, Harington revealed that he still speaks with several other former castmates, including John Bradley, Richard Madden, and Alfie Allen.
He also suggested that the distance between many of the cast members was a natural consequence of spending so many years together.
“I think we were all quite desperate — we just had to get on with life. We had so much time together that actually, we needed some [space],” the actor noted.
On his part, Dinklage reflected on how nice it was to finally be in the same room with Harington again after so many years.
“We still have all those AI photos online of all us together at barbecues. Good to see you, man,” Dinklage said.
Kit Harington Explains His Return To Television
As part of the conversation, Harington’s role in the financial thriller “Industry” also came up. The actor portrays Sir Henry Muck in the series.
When asked how he joined the show, Harington explained that he initially stepped away from television to take a break from long-form character arcs.
He said, “I decided I didn’t want to do any other TV characters for a while. Then I turned and said to my manager, ‘I feel like I’m ready to take on a character arc again. I miss it.’”
He added that he was already a fan of the series and immediately connected with creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay.
“Industry” is one that I’d been watching. And the writers, when I met them, reminded me a lot of [‘Game of Thrones’ creators] David Benioff and Dan Weiss,” he shared.
Harrington Compares Sir Henry Muck To Jon Snow
Although he already admired the show’s writers, Harington admitted that his connection to Sir Henry Muck deepened once he began portraying the character.
“I came in and played this character that had a lot of pain there, but there’s a lot of humor. I was like, ‘This is the kind of thing I’ve been looking for, in the shape I’ve been looking for it,’” he said.
Comparing the role to Jon Snow, the character that made him a household name, Harington highlighted one major difference that made the experience more enjoyable.
“The trouble for me with Jon Snow was that I couldn’t, for many years, be lighter,” the actor explained, referencing the multiple layers of clothes he often wore for his “GOT” role.
Kit Harington Has A New Concern About Nude Scenes
In “Industry,” Harington appeared in several intimate scenes, something he revealed has also been true of several of his recent projects.
While he understands that such moments can serve a purpose in storytelling, the actor admitted that he has started reconsidering them because of his two children with his wife, Rose Leslie.
“I’m weirdly doing a lot of nudity at the moment, and sex scenes,” he shared.
“The more I do it, the more I think, ‘I think I should stop.’ I’ve got to start thinking about my kids, like, ‘Why is Daddy always naked on-screen?’” he added.
Love Island USA‘s Bryce Alakai Dettlof made a surprising revelation regarding his appearance in the newest episode of the show.
During the Sunday, June 7, episode, Trinity Tatum asked Bryce if he had “an ugly face growing up.” Bryce surprised her — and Us — by opening up about how he dealt with quite the opposite.
“No, I looked like a girl,” he said. “But it is funny because all the girls liked me.”
Bryce shared a specific story from his childhood.
“I remember in middle school, I was in 7th grade and there was a girl in 8th grade who was the hottest girl in all the school,” he added. “She came up to me and told me I was the cutest guy ever.”
He continued, “All the guys hated me and started bullying me for it. All the guys used to bully me because they thought I was better looking.”
Bryce isn’t the only one to share a surprising story in the villa. Earlier in the week, the Islanders had to read out sex facts and figure out which of them it was about. One of the revelations was that an Islander slept with someone in their 50s.
“I was out and I was having a good time with my friends. She started talking to me and she was hot as f*** for her age,” Gabriel Vasconcelos, who is 26 years old, said about his encounter with the 52-year-old. “We had a good night together. She had a lot of experience.”
Gabriel’s sexual history was then joked about when narrator Iain Stirling compared him to a “reverse Leonardo DiCaprio” due to the actor’s dating history. In addition to Gabriel and Bryce, season 8 of Love Island USA features Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity, Corbin Mims, Kayda Bosse and Zach Georgiou.
The Peacock show was also meant to feature Vasana Montgomery, who was cut from season 8 of Love Island USA after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Vasana was removed from the show before she got a chance to enter the villa. Both clips were leaked from her private social media, which meant producers weren’t privy to the posts while casting the season.
Love Island USA is all about coupling up — so which Islanders are currently together and which have already called it quits in the villa? Peacock’s popular dating show returned in June 2026 with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum […]
“I want to address a couple videos from my teen years that have recently resurfaced,” she wrote via her Instagram Story this month. “In those videos, I used a racial slur. I am embarrassed and disappointed by my words.”
Vasana noted that she wanted to take accountability for her actions.
“I take full responsibility for what I said and understand why it has hurt and upset people,” she continued. “Since then, I have grown a lot as a person and taken the time to educate myself, listen, learn, and better understand the impact that language can have.”
She added, “That growth does not erase my mistake, and 1am not asking anyone to excuse it. I believe people should be held accountable for their actions, but I also believe in growth, learning, and becoming better. To anyone I hurt or disappointed, I am truly sorry.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

Forget ‘Severance,’ Apple TV’s Sci-Fi Masterpiece Is the Perfect Weekend Binge Ahead of Season 3
Time is ticking ever-closer to Dunesday, as arguably the two biggest franchise releases of the year arrive in theaters on the same day. On December 18, the star-studded Avengers: Doomsday will be joined by Dune: Part Three as it makes its global debut, with the latter expected to be a decade-defining sci-fi spectacle. The final installment in Denis Villeneuve‘s acclaimed adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels, Part Three boasts an eye-catching cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy, and more.
For Ferguson fans, the release of Dune: Part Three might mark her most exciting project of a stacked year, but there is the small matter of her genius sci-fi series’ return to attend to in the meantime. On July 3, 2026, Silo, Apple TV’s genius sci-fi hit based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times bestselling trilogy (Wool, Shift, and Dust), will return for a hotly anticipated third season that promises plenty of twists and turns. Boasting a total of ten episodes, Silo will release throughout the summer, starting on July 3 and continuing every Friday through September 4. A certain must-watch while Apple TV subscribers continue to wait for Severance Season 3.
The Emmy Award-winning Graham Yost series has already become a favorite for Apple TV subscribers, with the second season earning rave reviews. “Silo continues to surpass the genre, asking viewers to question not only the motives of those in power but the strength of their convictions,” wrote Tania Hussain in Collider’s review of Season 2, with nothing but near-perfection expected again for Season 3. Ahead of the next installment, and following the release of a trailer, Silo has returned to the streaming charts, officially ranking as one of the ten most-streamed titles on Apple TV in the U.S.
Rebecca Ferguson Has Already Had a Busy Year
Although the return of Silo and the arrival of Dune: Part Three might be her most exciting projects of the year, Ferguson has already been very busy in 2026. She began the year with Mercy, an AI-based sci-fi thriller that co-starred Chris Pratt, and, although it faced mixed reviews from critics, the film has since become a huge streaming success. Then came a role in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the huge Netflix phenomenon that saw Cillian Murphy make his final bow as Tommy Shelby, before Ferguson starred as the villainous Dame Snap in the fantasy adaptation The Magic Faraway Tree, which has so far received near-perfect reviews.
Silo Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

The season of the summer blockbuster is officially here, and while The Mandalorian and Grogu didn’t get the ball rolling as well as Disney would have liked, Masters of the Universe is here to kick things off this weekend. One of the most anticipated movies of the summer comes this week, when Steven Spielberg officially returns to the world of sci-fi for his next epic, Disclosure Day, which stars Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor. Fans could argue for days about which summer 2026 movie is going to be the biggest, and while Spider-Man: Brand New Day may yet finish with the highest box office total, The Odyssey is guaranteed to turn heads. The new historical epic hails from Christopher Nolan, who recently swept the Oscars for his work writing and directing 2023’s Oppenheimer.
After starring in a key supporting role in Oppenheimer, Matt Damon has been promoted to the lead figure in The Odyssey, which also stars Chris Nolan newcomer Tom Holland. Between his work in The Odyssey and Brand New Day, Holland could easily add another $2 billion to his already impressive box office total. News broke earlier this week that The Odyssey has a runtime of 2:52, making it one of the longest movies of Nolan’s career, behind the three-hour epic, Oppenheimer. Further developments just yesterday revealed that the film carries a $250 million budget, which is Nolan’s most expensive film since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012. This gargantuan budget leaves The Odyssey with a break-even point of just over $500 million, but after Oppenheimer fell just short of $1 billion, there’s no reason to bet against Christopher Nolan right now.
Who Else Stars in ‘The Odyssey’?
In addition to Matt Damon and Tom Holland, who star in the father-son duo roles of Odysseus and Telemachus, Christopher Nolan has assembled one of the most impressive casts in movie history for The Odyssey. Also billed in lead roles in The Odyssey are Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, Lupita Nyong’o as both Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra, Zendaya as Athena, and Charlize Theron as Calypso. The star power doesn’t stop there, though, as Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, John Leguizamo, Ryan Hurst, Himesh Patel, James Remar, and Bill Irwin have all been tapped for roles in the film as well. The film is adapted from the famous fictional story by Homer.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of The Odyssey, which is coming to theaters on July 17.

Taylor Sheridan’s 2 New ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Offs Duke It Out on Paramount+ for the #1 Spot
Close to ten years since Yellowstone first premiered, the hit neo-western is now a full-fledged franchise with multiple hit spin-offs. Back in 2018, when it began airing, the Taylor Sheridan-created series was a surprise ratings hit despite the mainstream television audience having no idea it existed. But now it’s harder to ignore this universe when the mothership is still one of the most-watched shows on Paramount+ and on PVOD, while two new spinoffs have launched and are already ruling the airwaves.
March 1 marked the return of the Yellowstone universe, with Luke Grimes returning as Kayce in the universe’s first broadcast procedural, Marshals. After selling the ranch to Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and the Native community, Kayce runs a smaller ranching operation until a tragedy strikes, forcing him to make a change in his life. He joins the US Marshals and helps his SEAL buddy Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green) navigate Montana’s landscape and culture. A few months later, Dutton Ranch joined the roster, but at Paramount+ and Paramount Network. The show follows Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser‘s characters as they also move on from the Yellowstone to start their own ranching business. Both shows have been wildly successful, but one has outpaced the other in terms of raw viewership.
Marshals is the most-watched Yellowstone spin-off, with CBS ratings reporting 20 million viewers in 7 days of availability. That has made the show the most-watched new series and the most-watched series overall, surpassing Tracker. A good portion of that audience is live viewers, but the show also performs well on streaming platforms. Meanwhile, Dutton Ranch broke Paramount+’s record for having the most-watched premiere ever with 12 million viewers over the same period. Streaming data from FlixPatrol shows that Dutton Ranch is the most-watched on streaming, while Marshals has started slipping. This is to be expected when Marshals wrapped up its freshman run last week, while Dutton Ranch recently began its freshman run. Still, both shows are just getting started.
The ‘Yellowstone’ Universe Will Continue
With such viewership numbers, the fate of these shows is a no-brainer, and both have been renewed for a second season. Marshals will continue its run on CBS while Dutton Ranch will remain at Paramount+. The beauty of this is that Sheridan is not involved with writing either show, so they will return faster than if he had to be involved with every single script. Marshals was created by Spencer Hudnut, who also serves as the showrunner. Dutton Ranch was created by Chad Feehan, who also served as the showrunner for Season 1 prior to his firing. No showrunner for Season 2 has been announced yet.
Stream all three shows on Paramount+ in the US and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Some Euphoria viewers were shocked by Bishop’s fatal decision to ultimately betray his boss, Alamo — but when did he start to turn on the crime lord?
“This is just my own conjecture. I think for Alamo, when you’re in the hot seat, you know you’re always aware that people are snapping at your heels. People want that seat, people want what you have,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje, 58, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I think he’s always aware that he could have a challenge that is par for the course for being the boss or the emperor.”
Akinnuoye-Agbaje noted that Bishop (Darrell Britt-Gibson) was always someone Alamo second guessed, adding, “He’s always slightly paranoid about perceived or unperceived threats.”
The actor pointed to the scene where Alamo and Bishop were with Maddy (Alexa Demie).
Viewers were left confused by why Bishop betrayed Alamo in Euphoria‘s series finale. During the Sunday, May 31, episode of the HBO show, Ali (Colman Domingo) came into the Silver Slipper to avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death. He held Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) at gunpoint before they agreed to a Western-style showdown. But when Alamo drew his […]
“It surfaced there — even though it may not be written subtextually. Bishop talks in riddles and you could see that Alamo is frustrated,” he noted. “The frustration comes off, like, ‘Why are you not telling me the truth about this?’ I think there’s an inkling.”
Akinnuoye-Agbaje clarified it was only a theory, adding, “It’s just a general perceiving of threats around him for being the top of the throne — and he may have thought Bishop at one point may want it because he’s always with him. Bishop is always the guy with him everywhere.”
During the May 31 series finale, Bishop had a hero moment when he helped Ali (Colman Domingo) avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death by removing bullets from Alamo’s gun moments before an appropriate, Western-style showdown.
Britt-Gibson, 39, previously shared his thoughts on the twist.
“I wasn’t aware, at first when I began filming, but I was made aware of it probably midway through filming,” he told TVInsider. “And I just thought it was so beautifully done.”
Britt-Gibson said the narrative choice made sense, adding, “At that point, it felt very much in line with what Bishop would do, in my opinion. And so it felt very organic that that was gonna happen. When we actually got to film it, nothing about it felt like a shock or a surprise to me.”
After Alamo’s death, Bishop also moved in on Maddy — whom his boss was previously interested in.
“I’m dead at that point so I didn’t see nothing,” Akinnuoye-Agbaje quipped to Us. “That’s the exciting part. We throw it out and then it’s for you guys to create your own theories and move it in your head. I’m dead. I don’t care. I’ll haunt both of them.”
Euphoria‘s series finale introduced a potential romantic between Maddy and Bishop — but did they actually get together? Darrell Britt-Gibson was asked about his character Bishop offering to give Maddy (Alexa Demie) a ride home during the Sunday, May 31, episode, to which he told Decider, “You know, I interpret it in a lot of […]
Akinnuoye-Agbaje did take the opportunity to reflect on whether Alamo and Maddy would have made it.
“He realized he has everything but nothing. He had this wonderful moment of self-reflection — this epiphany that he had been exploiting women all this time — and now he wanted to surrender to them,” he continued. “He mistakenly — or rightly — thought that, ‘OK, Maddy, you’re The One.’ But obviously when push comes to shove — excuse the pun — he threw her out the window and used her as a bulletproof shield.”
Despite his interest in Maddy, Akinnuoye-Agbaje didn’t see it lasting long.
“He was always going to be about himself first,” he told Us. “That is the man. So would they have had a future? I think he would have tried. They would have had their cocoa colored babies, perhaps. But I think anytime he was under threat — his empire or his life — he would have sacrificed her in a minute as we saw in the showdown.”

Democrat Nithya Raman has overtaken Republican Spencer Pratt to secure second place in the primary race for Los Angeles’ next mayor.
After the latest round of ballots were counted on the evening of Sunday, June 7, the Los Angeles City Council member, 44, leapfrogged Pratt, 42, to sit just behind incumbent Karen Bass. Prior to Sunday’s count, Raman had been trailing behind the Hills alum by a considerable margin.
Raman currently holds 27.12% of the vote at the time of publication, compared to Pratt who holds 26.69%. Bass, 72, is meanwhile holding strong with 34.68% of the vote. (The results have already cemented Bass’ place in the November runoff for L.A. mayor.)
While Pratt looked likely to advance his bid, finishing in third place would knock him out of November’s showdown.
Spencer Pratt has fired back at criticism of a new attack ad in his Los Angeles mayoral campaign. On Wednesday, April 29, the former Hills star released a campaign ad filmed outside the homes of two of his opponents in the upcoming mayoral primary: current Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman. […]
Raman exclusively told Us Weekly on April 30, via a “Nithya for Mayor” spokesperson, that she condemned Pratt for filming part of his own campaign outside her home.
“Filming outside my home, where I live with my young children, feels unnecessary and reckless,” the spokesperson said at the time. Pratt’s campaign included an advertisement that saw him visit the homes of both Raman and Bass to provide insight into each candidate’s unique living situations. (Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, have lived in a trailer with their two children since losing their home in the 2025 Palisades wildfires.)

Pratt had declared in the controversial ad, “This is where Mayor Bass lives. Notice something? Or here, where Nithya Raman’s $3 million mansion sits? They don’t have to live in the mess they’ve created.”
In a June 2 primary, Bass advanced to November’s general election. While Bass has refrained from publicly commenting too much on Pratt, she did comment on Raman during a Politico event in May. “I question her ability to lead the city when she struggles being a member of the city council,” Bass said at the time.
Pratt announced his candidacy one year after his family lost their home in the wildfires.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt declared during the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration that announced the campaign. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”
He exclusively told Us Weekly in a May 27 cover story that he had never predicted he would be running for mayor.
“I truly never imagined I would actually, probably [become] the mayor,” he said. “I just wanted somebody to [tell] the truth, and I wanted to have that platform as a candidate against [Bass] to get the truth,” he said at the time.
