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.

Yellowstone fans overjoyed as major character announces return
The original Yellowstone series concluded after its fifth season last year, but the Duttons will live on in an upcoming spin-off. The as-yet-untitled series, which is centered around the characters Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, will also star Carter in a prominent role, according to Deadline. Played by Australian actor Finn Little, 19, Carter previously appeared on seasons four and five of the original Yellowstone. The character is a troubled teenager and orphan who is taken in by Beth Dutton and becomes a ranch hand at Yellowstone. Fans of the western are already overjoyed by the news of Carter's inclusion, with one commenting, 'Awesome!!! I would be disappointed if he wasn't in the spin off. He's a amazing actor and he worked good with Beth and Rip's characters.' 'I for one am happy Carter will be a part of this spinoff. Carter was the best thing to happen to Beth and Rip,' wrote another. A third commented, 'This is great news. Looking forward to the Beth and Rip spin off!' The Beth and Rip series isn't the only Yellowstone spin-off on the way. Yellowstone star Luke Grimes landed his very own spinoff, which is currently in production. Back in May it was announced that the actor, who played Kayce Dutton on the saga, will be the focus of Y: Marshals. On the show, Kayce will join the US Marshals in Montana. The last time viewers saw Kayce, he had moved to a small part of the Yellowstone ranch. It remains unknown whether the show will feature his wife Monica and their son Tate, played respectively on the original series by Kelsey Asbille and Brecken Merrill. The official logline has Kayce 'combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.' It comes after Grimes slammed Yellowstone star Kevin Costner when he said it was easier filming the end of season five without the Hollywood icon. The actor, 41, played the son of Costner's rancher patriarch John Dutton. Costner sensationally left the show before its final half-season, amid explosive reports that he clashed with its creator Taylor Sheridan. In the wake of his departure, Grimes said the last episodes were 'the easiest' to film because 'some of the conflict was gone,' kicking up a flurry of rumors that he had also feuded with Costner, though he denied 'any hard feelings.' Grimes is currently starring in Eddington, a film by Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster.

Acclaimed Nicolas Cage Thriller ‘The Surfer' Gets Streaming Date
Paritial poster for "The Surfer" featuring Nicholas Cage. The Surfer — a new psychological thriller starring Nicolas Cage — is coming soon to digital streaming. Rated R, The Surfer opened in theaters in limited release on May 2. The official summary for The Surfer reads, 'In the psychological thriller directed by Lorcan Finnegan, a man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son. But his desire to hit the waves is thwarted by a group of locals whose mantra is, 'Don't live here, don't surf here.' 'Humiliated and angry, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising in concert with the punishing heat of the summer and pushes him to his breaking point.' Cage plays the man, known only as 'The Surfer,' in the film, while his son is played by Finn Little. The Surfer also stars Julian McMahon as The Surfer's main antagonist, Scally. The Surfer is expected to be released on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Friday, June 6, according to When to Stream. While When to Stream is typically accurate with its PVOD reports, the streaming tracker noted that The Surfer's studio Roadside Attractions and distributor Lionsgate have not announced or confirmed the digital release date and it is subject to change. The Surfer is currently available for pre-order on Prime Video for $14.99, which will also be the film's purchase price. Typically, PVOD rental prices are $5 less than purchase prices, so viewers can expect to rent The Surfer for $9.99 for a 48-hour period when it becomes available. In addition to Prime Video, The Surfer will be available on such digital platforms as AppleTV, Fandango at Home and YouTube. The Surfer has thus far earned $1.020 million in North American theaters and more than $154,000 internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $1.174 million to date, per The Numbers. Information on the production budget or marketing spend on The Surfer has not yet been released. The Surfer earned an 86% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics based on 131 reviews. The RT Critics Consensus reads, 'Nicolas Cage expertly rides the waves of toxic masculinity in this sand-filled arena of torment.' Audiences were not nearly as high on The Surfer on RT, giving the film a 46% 'rotten' score on the site's Popcornmeter based on 250-plus verified user ratings. The RT audience summary reads, 'While the story is too flat for most to ride, Nicolas Cage beguiles as The Surfer, and the iconic Australian backdrop makes for a stunning screensaver.' The Surfer is still playing in theaters and is expected to arrive on PVOD on June 6.

Perfectly cast King of Weird Nicolas Cage loses the plot in Aussie thriller The Surfer
With a crazy homegrown surfing thriller, a quality biopic and a fun but forgettable fright-fest, there's something for everyone on the big screen this week. THE SURFER (MA15+) Director: Lorcan Finnegan (Vivarium) Starring: Nicolas Cage, Julian McMahon, Finn Little ★★★ Cage becomes a wave-ing lunatic Take the 1970s Australian classic Wake in Fright and, while you're at it, grab the equally excellent 2017 adaptation of the Tim Winton novel Breath. Now upload the two of them to the AI platform of your choice, and instruct the program to generate a third movie from the pair. The end result should be something just like The Surfer: a disturbing psychodrama about a stranger in a strange land, in which the stranger is played by Nicolas Cage, and the strange land just happens to be the sunburnt country in which we all live. The casting of cinema's reigning King of Weird makes perfect sense in the particular case of The Surfer. It is difficult to think of anyone else but Cage coping with (and then fully meeting) the peculiar demands asked of him here. The movie opens on a single stretch of West Australian coastline that becomes a complete and combustively dangerous obsession for Cage's unnamed protagonist. All this bloke wants to do is take his teenage son (Finn Little) out into the water to ride some of the beautiful waves rolling into shore. However, the local surfers who spend every waking minute watching or wading into this spectacular swell do not take kindly to the presence of outsiders. In fact, the moment any foreign foot lands on their patch of sand, this unruly mob (on the instruction of a cult-leader-ish dude played by Julian McMahon) assume an attack formation that banishes any would-be rider straight back to the car park. Quite rightly and quite worryingly, Cage's character isn't having any of this. Despite copping a severe beating and the subsequent theft of his prize board, our hard-pressed hero refuses to let the matter rest. He sets up home in the aforementioned car park and devotes all of his attention to somehow catching that one wave he originally had in mind. Needless to say, as this is a Nicolas Cage movie, there's a high chance this fellow will lose his mind by the end. If all of this makes The Surfer sound like an acquired taste, be assured your reading of the situation is bang on the money. However, Cage's appropriately addled performance and some unconventional flourishes from Irish director Lorcan Finnegan guarantee The Surfer will get inside your head and stay there. The Surfer screens in special previews from this weekend (check local listings) and opens in full release next week. MONSIEUR AZNAVOUR (M) Selected cinemas Just as Frank Sinatra's unique combination of voice and attitude proved irresistible to the English-speaking world for several decades, those of a French persuasion never once fell out of love with Charles Aznavour. This classy biopic of the French crooning legend takes a safe, yet always interesting route through a long and winding career that eventually saw Aznavour sell over 200 million albums around the world. Of course, there are some sizeable hurdles that had to be cleared by Aznavour (played with great conviction by Tahar Rahim) before he made it to the big time, and the movie is at its strongest while its subject is still getting a foothold on the ladder to success. After countless rejections in his early days (many a theatrical agent thought his looks were too ethnic and his vocals sounded too nasal), a chance meeting with the legendary chanson singer Edith Piaf provided the break Aznavour had impatiently waited for. Once ol' Charlie gets to the top, we encounter a familiar formula we've seen countless times before, particularly in those biopics centring on single-minded artists who do anything to establish, exploit and extend their time in the spotlight. However, the music sequences (sung live by Rahim) pay their way handsomely throughout, to the extent you'll probably stream yourself a repeat listen afterwards. CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD (MA15+) ★★★ This ultra-disposable horror-comedy hybrid has one thing going for it: energy. This ain't the kind of horror movie to sit on its hands for minutes at a time while we wait for another wave of dread to build, crash and then subside. No, once Clown in a Cornfield gets on its ridiculous roll, there's just no stopping the thing. While it falls short of the high ha-ha levels set by that recent cheeky chiller The Monkey, there's still enough well-crafted laughs and genuinely grotesque shocks to the senses to justify attendance for those so inclined. The villain to be loathed, feared and secretly cheered here is Frendo the Clown, the former mascot for a corn syrup factory that had to be shut down in controversial circumstances. The teen buddies who have Frendo reaching for the nearest crossbow, pitchfork or chainsaw are partially responsible for the closure, which has not made them very popular in their small Missouri hometown. However, once their numbers start diminishing in kinetically gruesome ways, the threat posed by the icky sicko that is Frendo rises exponentially to all in this rural hamlet. Fun while it lasts, though forgettable once you're home.
