A Major ‘Yellowstone' Character Will Reprise His Role in the New Beth and Rip Spin-off Series
After the airing of its long-awaited season 5 finale, Yellowstone the series might be over, but Yellowstone as a phenomenon is far from finished. The Taylor Sheridan TV Universe is eager to protect its ever-growing territory, and with John Dutton III's long reign at an end, his daughter will scoop up the reins in a new, as-yet-untitled spin-off. Per Deadline, the Paramount+ project will continue the story of the modern Dutton family, and thus will reportedly be the first Sheridan spin-off to feature 'Yellowstone' in its title—though the full title has yet to be disclosed. Actress Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, and Cole Hauser, who plays her husband, Rip Wheeler, are poised to anchor the show, which Deadline adds 'will likely feature other cast members from the mothership series.' (Just not Kevin Costner himself.) As for confirmation, Reilly herself stated that the show was coming in her own Instagram comments. She posted a reel the night of the Yellowstone series finale in 2024, stating, 'whatever the future holds this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past 7 years.' Finn Little, who plays Carter in Yellowstone, commented, 'Thank you Momma. @mzkellyreilly. It was a pleasure. X.' Reilly then responded, 'You and I just beginning xx love you.' That comment proved prophetic when, in July 2025, Deadline reported that Little would join the cast of the new spin-off series, for which he'd reprise his Yellowstone role as Carter. Plot details are scarce at this point, though Deadline teases the show will indeed explore 'what happens next for the characters in the hugely popular drama series who are still alive' at the flagship series' conclusion and will 'shar[e] the most DNA with the mothership of any show in the universe to date.' Initially, rumors circulated that a Yellowstone season 6 might move forward with Reilly and Hauser at its helm, but it seems that negotiation instead morphed into a spin-off. Paramount has yet to tease a potential air date for the Beth and Rip saga. Regardless of its timeline, Reilly and Hauser's lead vehicle won't be the only Yellowstone story moving forward. Another modern spin-off, The Madison—previously titled 2024—is in the works, in addition to other Yellowstone-adjacent projects including Y: Marshals, 1944, and 6666. Suffice to say: The Duttons will continue to leave their mark on Montana. This story will be updated.

Double Double: 6 STAR TREK Episodes With Duplicates
As we know from Futurama, 'Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.' Nevertheless, Star Trek is filled with many instances of characters encountering their duplicates. And in many cases, this leads to the characters battling it out with themselves. For this week's Trek Tuesday, we're exploring six Star Trek episodes in which characters encounter their own doppelgängers. Did we include your favorite? 'The Enemy Within' The original instance of this frequently used Franchise trope took place in Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1's 'The Enemy Within.' In this episode, Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) was seemingly duplicated by the transporter. It appears that one of the two Kirks is evil, while the other one is good. RELATED: Star Trek Episode Trilogy: Revisiting 'Unification' However, as the episode goes on, the truth is uncovered. The duplication hasn't resulted in a 'good' Kirk or an 'evil' Kirk. Instead, it has split Kirk into two entities, and each of them embodies half of the characteristics that make up Kirk as we know him. By the end of the episode, the two halves are rejoined and Kirk has returned to his normal state. 'Second Chances' In Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 6's 'Second Chances,' William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) learns that he was also duplicated by a transporter accident. The U.S.S. Enterprise-D travels to Nervala IV, where Riker had visited eight years earlier. Once they arrive, they discover a duplicate of Riker was created by the transporter and inadvertently left on the planet for the intervening years. Ultimately, the transporter clone accepts a posting on a different ship, leaving William and the Enterprise-D behind. He also begins to use his middle name, 'Thomas,' to distinguish himself from William. However, in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3 episode 'Defiant,' we learn that Thomas later joined the Maquis. At the conclusion of that episode, he is sentenced to a Carassian labor camp. However, Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4's 'The Inner Fight' suggests he subsequently regained his freedom. 'Deadlock' There were a few instances of crew member duplicates on Star Trek: Voyager. But in Season 2's 'Deadlock,' the entire ship gets doubled. Due to a subspace divergence field, the U.S.S. Voyager and everything and everyone aboard is duplicated. RELATED: What Is This? 8 Star Trek Crossover Episodes By the conclusion of the episode, one of the Voyagers has been destroyed and all but two crew members aboard have been killed. Fortunately, those two crewmembers — Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) and Naomi Wildman — had their duplicates killed on the other Voyager. These two survivors switch ships and the once again intact crew continues their journey back to Earth. 'Crisis Point' Photo Cr: Best Possible Screen Grab CBS 2020 CBS Interactive, Inc. All Rights Reserved. In Lower Decks Season 1's 'Crisis Point,' Bradward Boimler (Jack Quaid) reveals he's made a hologram program that duplicates the U.S.S. Cerritos and its entire crew. Boimler wants to use this as a training program. But Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) has other ideas. Hijacking the program to make a 'movie,' Mariner steps into the role of grizzled space pirate Vindicta. But she neglects to delete the holographic Mariner who is already aboard the Cerritos in Bomiler's program. This results in a climactic battle between 'Vindicta' and Hologram Mariner that comes with a side of self-realization. Hey, therapy works! 'A Quality of Mercy' Photo Cr: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 finale, 'A Quality of Mercy,' gives us a double dose of duplicate. First, an older version of Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) travels back in time to issue a warning to his younger self. Then, present-day Pike steps into the role of his future self, duplicating the events of The Original Series Season 1's 'Balance of Terror.' But this time, Pike is commanding the Enterprise rather than Kirk. RELATED: Hailing Frequencies Open: 3 Star Trek Podcasts At the end of the episode, Pike learns that tampering with the timeline isn't a great idea, even if it might spare him his fate. However, he also gets to meet the parallel timeline version of Kirk, learning more about commanding a crew from the experience. 'Face the Strange' Photo Credit: Paramount+ In the Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 episode 'Face the Strange,' Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) comes face to face with her younger self. After a 'bug' from the Temporal Cold War is placed on the U.S.S. Discovery, Burnham and her first officer, Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie), find themselves skipping through time. This results in Burnham meeting herself from way back in Season 1. Inevitably, the pair end up fighting with one another. But at the climax of the episode, the younger Burnham is able to listen to reason, allowing the ship to be returned to its proper time frame. The episodes discussed in this article are currently available for streaming on Paramount+.

Rosie O'Donnell, Donald Trump's citizenship feud caps decades of taunts and jabs
From name-calling to online spats, Rosie O'Donnell and President Donald Trump have gone head-to-head with each other for nearly two decades. Now, their long-standing feud has escalated after Trump threatened to revoke the comedian's U.S. citizenship months after she fled to Ireland. During an appearance on the Irish radio show, "Sunday with Miriam," O'Donnell opened up about the contentious back and forth with the president of the United States and explained why she's "very proud" to stand up against him after all these years. "He still uses me as a punching bag and a way to sort of rile his base," O'Donnell, 63, said. "And I'm very proud to be opposed to every single thing he says and does and represents. I think he's a racist, and he's misogynistic, and he's sexist, and he is a danger to women and children all over the world." Over the weekend, Trump claimed that O'Donnell is a "threat to humanity." "Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship," Trump wrote in a post to his social media platform Truth Social. "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" O'Donnell quickly responded to Trump's jab in several posts that she shared on her social media pages. "The president of the USA has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is - a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself," she wrote. "This is why i moved to Ireland - he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity." The decades-long feud stems back to 2006 after O'Donnell criticized him on "The View" about his decision to be lenient toward a Miss USA winner who had been accused of drug use and other bad behavior. O'Donnell — who was a co-host on "The View" at the time — said Trump is "not a self-made man" but a "snake-oil salesman on 'Little House On The Prairie.'" Trump responded to the criticism by calling O'Donnell a "real loser" and "a woman out of control." In 2011, after O'Donnell announced her engagement to then-girlfriend Michelle Rounds, Trump took to social media to share his thoughts. "I feel sorry for Rosie 's new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie–a true loser." The next year, Trump made a surprising remark after O'Donnell suffered a heart attack. "Rosie, get better fast. I'm starting to miss you!" he wrote on X (Twitter at the time). In 2014, O'Donnell told People Magazine that the criticism she got from Trump was the worst bullying she had been through. "Probably the Trump stuff was the most bullying I ever experienced in my life, including as a child," O'Donnell said. "It was national, and it was sanctioned societally. Whether I deserved it is up to your own interpretation." Trump responded to her comments by tweeting, "Rosie—No offense, and good luck on the new show, but remember, you started it!" In 2016, O'Donnell publicly endorsed presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and wrote on X, "HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT." Shortly after Trump claimed victory over Clinton in November of that same year, O'Donnell wrote "god help us all. i am not scared - i am sad - for all of us - for humanity." Last year, O'Donnell stayed engaged during the election, frequently posting videos on TikTok, including one when she warned people, "You can't forget what he's capable of. … This is not a sane person. This is a madman. You gotta get ready for what's coming. When democracy falls, fascism takes its place." In March, O'Donnell confirmed she had fled the U.S. for Ireland. "It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say," the 62-year-old said in a video on TikTok. "And the people have been so loving, so kind and so welcoming. And I'm very grateful." "Although I was someone who never thought I would move to another country, that's what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child," she explained. "I miss my other kids," she added of her five grown children. "I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home. And I'm trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back." The "A League of Their Own" star added that it's "heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know." She added that she was "sorry" to her fans who were worried about her and missed her. "I just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through and now, as we're getting settled, I was ready to post this and tell everybody what's going on." "The Flintstones" star said she encourages everyone to "stand up, to use their voice, to protest, to demand that we follow the Constitution in our country and not a king, not a man and we don't have cruelty as part of our governing style." That same month, President Trump criticized O'Donnell and her decision to move to Ireland during his White House meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin. When a reporter asked Irish Prime Minister Martin why he allowed the American comedian to move to the country, Trump was quick to respond. "Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people," a reporter noted to Martin at the White House. "Why in the world would you let Rosie O'Donnell move to Ireland? I think she is going to lower your happiness." Before Martin could answer, Trump chimed in and replied, "That's true. I like that question. Do you know you have Rosie O'Donnell? Do you know who she is? You're better off not knowing." The day before Saint Patrick's Day, O'Donnell published a poem, "Him," on her Substack, commenting on her long feud with Trump White House responded to O'Donnell's poem via an exclusive comment to Fox News Digital with a simple "Good riddance!" Fox News Digital's Brie Stimson contributed to this post.
