So giddy up, get reading, and get watching!
Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Mayor of Kingstown is as follows: 'Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family – power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.'
Season 4 Premiere Date: October 2025
Cast, Season 4 Filming Updates, And More: In December 2024, Paramount+ renewed Mayor of Kingstown for a fourth season, which means the crime drama about America's prison system, co-created by Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, will return. On top of Jeremy Renner, Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, Nichole Galicia, and more, Season 4 will reportedly welcome Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie), Lennie James (The Walking Dead), and Laura Benanti (Younger, No Hard Feelings) to the cast. Per Variety, Falco will play Nina Hobbs, Anchor Bay's new prison warden. James is set to portray Frank Moses, 'described as 'a legendary gangster respected in the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan, and well beyond.'' And Benanti will star as Cindy Stephens, a new Kingstown correctional officer. Per Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, Kingstown is set to return in October 2025.
Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Tulsa King is as follows: 'Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight 'The General' Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a 'crew' from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.'
Season 3 Premiere Date: September 2025
Cast, Season 3 Filming Updates, And More: On March 18, Paramount+ confirmed that production on Season 3 was officially underway in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Jim McKay directing the season premiere. Since then, several new cast members have been announced. In addition to Stallone, Jay Will, Max Casella, Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, and more, Robert Patrick (1923) is joining Season 3 as Jeremiah Dunmire, 'a powerful, forceful man with deep pockets in the liquor business.' Beau Knapp (Seal Team) will play Cole Dunmire, 'Jeremiah's (Patrick) son and a trust fund country boy with crazy in his eyes.' Bella Heathcote (Pieces of Her) is also joining the third season as series regular Cleo Montague, 'a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner.' And James Russo is coming onboard in a recurring role as New York mob boss Quiet Ray Renzetti. Paramount+ also announced that Chris Caldovino (The Sopranos), McKenna Quigley Harrington (Susie Searches) and Mike 'Cash Flo' Walden were upped to series regulars for Season 3. And one of the most exciting casting announcements is the addition of Kevin Pollak in a series regular role of Special Agent Musso, 'an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.'
Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Landman is as follows: 'Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown, Landman is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. The series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it's reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.'
Season 2 Premiere Date: November 2025
Cast, Season 2 Filming Updates, And More: The debut season of Sheridan and Christian Wallace's Texas drama aired its finale on January 12, 2025. But fear not, Landman fans. Season 2 already started filming in Texas and is expected to premiere this fall. In addition to Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and more, Landman Season 2 will also welcome Oscar nominee and 1883 star Sam Elliott as a series regular. Yee haw!
Plot: Per a press release from Paramount, the early synopsis for The Madison is as follows: 'The series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.'
Premiere Date: Early 2026
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Sheridan fans who are missing the Duttons should get excited about The Madison, the next installment in the Yellowstone universe, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Zegers, Danielle Vasinova, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Matthew Fox, and more. According to Deadline, the series is aiming for a 2025 premiere date, so stay tuned for more updates.
Plot: Per a press release from CBS, the early synopsis for Y: Marshals (described as a working title) is as follows: 'Y: Marshals stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, 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.'
Premiere Date: Midseason 2026
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: The Kayce Dutton-centric Yellowstone spinoff was announced on May 7 and will air on CBS Sundays from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET when it premieres in 2026. While additional cast members and Yellowstone ties remain unknown at this time, CBS has revealed Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team) will serve as showrunner.
Plot: An official synopsis for Dutton Ranch (official title TBC) has yet to be released, but Yellowstone fans know this series as the Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) spinoff they've been waiting for. The series will likely follow the lives of the two core characters of Sheridan's beloved Western drama after the Yellowstone finale, which aired in December 2024. As Decider noted, 'Beth plans to stay in the ranching business with Rip and Carter (Finn Little). She finds a place with a 'little house, big barn' sitting on top of '7,000 acres deeded, another 20 in a BLM lease,' 40 miles west of Dillon, Montana where no tourists or developers lurk. While Rip agrees he could make 'something like this work,' he says 'not gonna get rich, but you can pay the bills.' Beth replies, 'You let me worry about the rich part.' With her observing the businesses of the 6666 and Bosque Ranch, we have no doubt she will quickly build a new dynasty for her, Rip and Carter to oversee.'
Premiere Date: November 2025
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, the highly-anticipated Yellowstone spinoff will arrive in Q4 of 2025 along with Landman. While Paramount has yet to release official details surrounding the series, Reilly confirmed a Beth/Rip spinoff was coming back in 2024. So stay tuned to see if any other Yellowstone favorites return.
Plot: Among Sheridan's new Yellowstone-related series comes another prequel. While 1883 ended in 2022 and 1923 ended in April 2025, 1944 is on the horizon, which Decider notes, 'will follow the next generation of Duttons during the height of World War II and will reveal how the political and economic circumstances will affect them and the ranch.'
Premiere Date: 2026
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While an official 1944 cast has yet to be announced, fans have considered the possibility that 1923 stars like Brandon Sklenar (Spencer Dutton) and Michelle Randolph (Elizabeth Stafford) could return as their character's older selves to continue the story. In an interview with Decider, Sklenar also explained 'we'll have to wait until 1944 to confirm that' Spencer and Alex's (Julia Schlaepfer) son becomes John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) father. So here's hoping the series gives 1923 fans all the answers they seek. According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, 1944 is expected to premiere later in 2026 after Y: Marshals.
Plot: Per Paramount+, 'Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program and follows a Marine recruited to befriend the daughter of a terrorist to bring the organization down from within… In Season 2, as the CIA's fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Zoe Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman), and Byron (Michael Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat. With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe is forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she has made as the leader of the Lioness program.'
Season 3 Premiere Date: TBA
Season 3 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Lioness fans know that despitethe positive reception Season 2 received (including a 90% certified fresh Tomatometer score), Sheridan's espionage thriller has yet to officially be renewed for a Season 3 after its Season 2 finale premiered on December 8, 2024. That said, Paramount+ has yet to cancel the original series either, and since we know the streaming service loves Sheridan shows, there's still hope for continuation.
Plot: Sheridan knows no limits when it comes to the entertainment industry, so in a twist, his upcoming projects aren't all scripted TV series. Sheridan, Blake Shelton, David Glasser, Lee Metzger, and Keith Urban have a new singing competition coming to CBS. Per the network: 'The Road follows Grammy Award winner Urban, who also serves as the headlining superstar for the series, on his journey to discover the next big artist alongside Grammy Award winner Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the 'tour manager.' The docu-follow format trails a group of emerging musicians (TBA) as they open for Urban at music venues across America, competing to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour. In the end, only one will walk away with the ultimate prize. The Road offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.'
Premiere Date: Sundays at 9:00 PM starting fall 2025
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Viewers will learn more about The Road's 12 Season 1 musicians as the series airs, but per The Road's teaser trailer, the performances have already been filmed at Urban concerts in Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Plot: Longtime Sheridan fans know this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning 6666, the Yellowstone spinoff that wasn't (yet!), but that may still come together one day. Per TV Insider, when the spinoff was first announced in February 2021, Paramount+'s description was as follows: 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing … The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.'
Premiere Date: TBA
Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While the Yellowstone offshoot 6666 was put on hold, it was expected to center on the Four Sixes ranch in Texas, where Jefferson White's character Jimmy went to work during the original series. While a cast wasn't announced in 2021, there's potential for White and other Yellowstone stars (including Sheridan!) to return down the line if the creator revisits the story. For those who don't know, the 6666 ranch is a real place near Guthrie, Texas, currently owned by Sheridan himself. So the possibility of shooting there in the future certainly remains.
Until then, Decider will keep you posted on more updates in the Sheridan-verse.

Fox News beats ABC, NBC, CBS during weekday primetime while CNN has lowest-rated week of year
Fox News Channel beat all broadcast networks in a key metric last week as CNN had its lowest-rated week of the year. Fox News averaged 2.7 million viewers during primetime on weekdays from May 26-30, compared to 2.4 million for NBC, 2.4 million for CBS and 2.3 million for ABC. While Fox News prevailed against the trio of broadcast networks, it also obliterated CNN. Fox News averaged 1.5 million total day viewers from May 26 through June 1, compared to a dismal 308,000 for CNN. During primetime, Fox News averaged 2.3 million viewers while CNN settled for only 374,000. It was much of the same among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as Fox News delivered 175,000 total day demo viewers and 240,000 during primetime, compared to 49,000 total day and 61,000 primetime demo viewers for CNN. CNN finished with its worst week of the year across both primetime and total day as Fox News had its highest cable news share since inauguration week. Along the way, the top 100 cable news telecasts for the week all aired on Fox News. "The Five" averaged 3.7 million total viewers and 409,000 in the critical demo to lead cable news in both categories. "Special Report with Bret Baier," "The Ingraham Angle," "Jesse Watters Primetime," "Hannity," "FOX News @ Night," "Gutfeld!," "Outnumbered," "The Will Cain Show," "America's Newsroom," "America Reports" and Harris Faulkner's "The Faulkner Focus" all had strong weeks, too, to help Fox News crush CNN.

This aircraft mechanic is using social media to make flying – and grieving – a little less scary
Max Comer never set out to become a social media star. But somewhere between fixing landing gear in Oklahoma and raising two young sons on his own, the 33-year-old aircraft mechanic — known as 'Airplane Facts with Max' online — started gaining followers by the thousand. In his quirky, deadpan videos, Comer introduces aircraft components like speed tape, cargo doors and ice detection systems — often relating them to elaborate 'Lord of the Rings' references. In one video about titanium engine fan blades, for instance, he dives into an extended overview of the origins of Andúril, the sword carried by Aragorn, which was reforged from the shards of Narsil by the Elves of Rivendell. But it's not all Tolkien. Sporting metal-band tees and long, wavy strawberry-blond hair, Comer also helps demystify air travel by posting reassuring videos about common in-flight worries, from banging sounds during takeoff to the origins of the 'smoke' coming from overhead vents. A post shared by Max (@airplanefactswithmax) He also clears up misconceptions about things like 'duct tape' on planes (it's actually speed tape) or the 'black' box (which is actually two bright orange boxes). To his surprise, people have embraced his dry humor and mix of aviation facts and Middle-earth lore — a curious combination that's earned him over 1.2 million Instagram followers and nearly half a million more on TikTok. 'One thing I've learned from my page is that aircraft mechanics aren't talked about much — we usually work behind the scenes, so I'm glad to shine a little light on what we do,' he tells CNN. 'There are hundreds of thousands of us out there, working overnight in the dark and the rain, changing tires and brakes, getting covered in hydraulic fluid. It's not glamorous. It's dirty. It can be hard on your body. But someone's got to do it — and we do.' Growing up in Denver, Colorado, Comer had a lot of freedom to pursue hobbies and do his own thing. He recalls spending his youth skateboarding, playing guitar in local bands and helping his dad with repairs on the family ranch. After high school, Comer gave college a try for about a year and a half, but it wasn't a good fit, so he dropped out. It's not glamorous. It's dirty. It can be hard on your body. But someone's got to do it — and we do.' Max Comer, aircraft mechanic In 2013, Comer met his late wife, Jones, and they later welcomed their first son, Finn, a year later. At the time, he was bartending while searching for a more stable career with benefits. A friend's father, an aircraft mechanic, was about to start school for his Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license and invited Comer to join him. So in 2015, he enrolled in a full-time A&P program while continuing to work nights at the bar. 'It was a grind,' he says. 'We were scrambling to make ends meet. But I knew it was just 18 months — and I could do it.' After graduating, Comer took a job with Horizon Air in Seattle, working on regional jets like the Bombardier Q400 and Embraer 175. 'I was really green,' he says. 'In school, you're working on engines that have been sitting there for 25 years. Then suddenly working on a live aircraft that's about to carry real people.' Thankfully, he was surrounded by veteran mechanics who showed him the ropes during overnight shifts when they would take care of whatever the planes needed, such as tire and oil changes or flight control checks. Sometimes, he worked on planes that carried his own family. He recalls one morning when he was stuck trying to fix a plane's cargo door. 'My wife, Jones, and my kid were actually on that flight,' he says. 'She's texting me from the terminal like, 'Fix the damn plane, Max! We're gonna miss our connection!'' And while it could be high pressure at times, Comer loved the job. 'There's a lot of stress in aviation for everybody in the industry. There's a low margin of error, so things have to be precise,' he says. 'The plane can't pull over. There's no side of the cloud where you can stop and check something. It makes me feel like what I'm doing on a day-to-day basis is important, because it is.' For the next few years, life was good for Comer — he had a fulfilling career, was deeply in love, and welcomed a second son. But then his world collapsed. In September 2022, Jones passed away unexpectedly. 'It was by far the hardest time in my life,' he says. 'She was the love of my life. A one-of-a-kind person who brought so much joy to our lives. I felt like my life was over. I couldn't sleep. I was spiraling.' As he struggled to stay afloat under the crushing weight of grief, Comer searched for distractions and comfort in literature. He turned to the world of 'The Lord of the Rings,' losing himself in Elvish languages, gruesome battles and the lore of Tolkien's magical realms. 'Tolkien has always been a comfort story for me,' he says. 'Oddly enough, my wife didn't like 'Lord of the Rings' — she thought it was boring. So, it was one thing that didn't remind me of her. It felt like a safe space away from everything.' Around the same time, Comer began posting short, monotone videos about aircraft parts on his private Instagram. His friends thought they were funny and urged him to try TikTok. So, in November 2022, he gave it a shot. 'I posted on TikTok, then accidentally fell asleep on my lunch break,' he says. 'I wasn't sleeping much back then and just dozed off.' He never imagined that first 'airplane fact' would take off. 'When I woke up, it already had 20,000 views. My phone had exploded,' he recalls. 'It was wild.' About three months later, he posted his first Tolkien-themed airplane fact, just to see if he could connect two wildly different interests. 'I didn't think I could do it again,' he says. 'But then I came up with another one, and then another. And I realized — I could just keep going.' If it were up to him, he says he'd talk about 'Lord of the Rings' all day. 'But I realized most people don't know as much about airplanes as I do,' he says. 'So I figured, why not do both? It's a win-win.' For a long time, Comer didn't mention Jones on his page. But when he finally did, the outpouring of support caught him off guard. 'It was overwhelmingly positive,' he says. 'People shared their own stories of grief, and it made me feel less alone.' Looking back, he says, Airplane Facts with Max gave him something vital. 'During that time, I had a hard time wanting to just keep going day to day. It gave me something to look forward to — a creative outlet I really needed.' And what would Jones think about it all? 'She loved social media. I think it would blow her mind. Especially because it's about two things — 'Lord of the Rings' and airplanes — that she thought were so boring,'' he laughs. 'She'd probably be like, 'My dumb husband? This guy?' But I think she'd probably be a mix of proud and jealous.' While Comer occasionally shares more personal posts, the vast majority of his content is lighthearted — created just for the fun of it. He says he truly enjoys finding unlikely links between cargo bays or landing gear and obscure Tolkien plotlines. 'I don't script the videos,' he says. 'I tried once, but it looked like I was reading. Now I just visualize it and go.' A post shared by Max (@airplanefactswithmax) He's especially proud when his content helps viewers overcome a fear of flying or inspires a new career path. 'I've had people message me saying they're starting A&P school because of my channel,' he says. 'That's wild to me. I hope that the industry treats them as well as it's treated me.' Comer currently works in heavy maintenance on Boeing 737s, 777s and 787s, performing comprehensive 'C-Checks' that commercial aircraft undergo every couple of years. 'We take the airplane apart and put it back together. When it leaves, it's basically a brand-new aircraft,' he explains. 'That's why a plane from 1996 can still fly.' Beyond aviation and Tolkien content, Comer has also started sharing his original music — mostly heartfelt acoustic tracks written about his late wife. 'For me, it just kind of flows out, and it feels good to be able to take that emotion and create something,' he adds. Whether through his poignant music or humorous aviation facts, Comer hopes his content resonates on multiple levels. He aims to shine a light on aircraft mechanics, ease anxieties around flying, delight fellow Tolkien fans — and perhaps offer solace to those navigating grief. 'This all started when I was at the lowest point in my life,' says Comer. 'It helped me find myself again and made me feel like I had something of value to give. 'If I've brought anyone a little laughter or comfort over the past few years, that makes me feel really good about what I've been doing.'

How To Make Money Podcasting: 5 Tips From "The Fantasy Footballers"
The Fantasy Footballers Sirius XM With more than five million podcasts in circulation globally, it can be difficult for creators to break through and build a profitable show. But for the hosts of one of the top fantasy football podcasts in the country, the formula for success and making money has been rooted in authenticity, trust, and smart business decisions. Here's how " The Fantasy Footballers" built a thriving podcast brand — and what other creators can learn from their approach. "A big driver of our success is the deep trust and authenticity we've built with our listeners and fans," the hosts said. "At its core, we're just being ourselves." The show started organically as conversations between friends who had worked together for years. "The three of us have worked together for years, so we've had the chemistry you hear on the show today from many lunch conversations over the years. The show is just those lunch convos… with microphones. We are essentially listeners' fantasy football buddies." That familiarity and camaraderie have helped attract and retain a loyal audience. "That authenticity is what's built our audience, and once they find us, they tend to stick around," they said. Rather than limiting its content to a single platform, the podcast team expanded its presence across multiple channels, including audio, YouTube, and social media. "Since the beginning, we've met our audience where they are – whether that's audio, YouTube or social," the hosts said. In 2024, they announced an exclusive partnership with SiriusXM, a move that further expanded their reach and opened up new opportunities to monetize. "Every episode of our show also airs on SiriusXM's Fantasy Sports Radio channel," they said. "It's another awesome way to get our content out there and reach even more fantasy football fans." They also create exclusive, standalone content for the SiriusXM app, designed to give listeners a deeper level of insider access. "The power of podcasting is in the ability to connect with fans in a truly authentic and meaningful way," said Lizzie Collins, senior vice president and head of B2B marketing at SiriusXM Media. "Andy, Jason and Mike of The Fantasy Footballers really embody that, and we're proud to support their growth across platforms through Creator Connect." "Trust with listeners and brands is essential to securing and maintaining impactful sponsorships and monetization," the hosts said. "Our fans spend time with us every day as we help them navigate their leagues and win championships. That builds real trust over time – and because we're selective with advertisers, our endorsements carry weight with the audience." One example is a branded segment called "Raising Cane's Rising Stars," sponsored by the fast-food chain Raising Cane's, which highlights emerging NFL players. "About 90% of our brand partners return to sponsor future segments because our integrations run deep and our audience connects their love for the show with our genuine enthusiasm for the brands and products we endorse," they said. Their continued success with advertisers underscores a larger trend — that fantasy football is no longer a niche hobby but part of a growing, multibillion-dollar industry. Their top piece of money advice for fellow creators is to focus on the opportunities that matter most. "Sometimes you have to say 'no' or 'not yet' – focus on the opportunities that make the most impact," they said. "The 80/20 principle is key to our business. Opportunities come from all over the place, but you need to focus on your primary disciplines and select your partnerships and opportunities carefully to maximize impact." By keeping a tight focus on their core content and audience, they've avoided distractions and scaled their show in a sustainable way. For these hosts, success is about more than downloads or dollars. "We're all family guys. Each of us has three kids," they said. "Being able to create a company centered around something we are all passionate about — fantasy football — and creating a show that we're happy for our kids and families to listen to has been an incredible opportunity that represents a 'richer life' to us." Whether you're just starting a podcast or looking to take your show to the next level, the path to monetization is built on connection, consistency, and credibility.
