The series premieres August 8, 2025, with two episodes, followed by weekly releases, and is already renewed for a second season.The series begins with the death of Red Jacob MacKenzie, leader of Clan MacKenzie. He leaves no named successor, creating a leadership dispute. Ellen MacKenzie, his eldest child, is capable but excluded from leadership due to her gender. Her brothers, Colum and Dougal, are contenders, though neither was appointed before Red Jacob's death. The clan risks being taken over by an outsider if no decision is made.
Red Jacob promised Ellen the right to marry for love rather than politics, angering her brothers, who try to restrict her movements. The MacKenzies have rivalries with both the Grant and Fraser clans but consider alliances to avoid conflict.Ellen reconnects with Malcolm Grant, a childhood acquaintance, but develops a deeper bond with Brian Fraser, son of Lord Lovat. Their romance grows despite political risks, forming one central love story.The second romance follows Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston during World War I. When first seen, they are married with a child. A car accident sends them into a river, leading to a mysterious disappearance.

Weapons box office: Zach Cregger's low-budget horror is #1 film in the world; beats The Fantastic Four, Freakier Friday
Sinners walked so that Weapons could run! 2025 has been the year of horror for world cinema. The latest sensation is Zach Cregger's chilling and haunting film, Weapons. After earning critical acclaim, the film has also set the box office on fire, far surpassing expectations with its opening weekend haul. Weapons box office: Zach Cregger's horror film has had a great start. Weapons box office The Zach Cregger film earned $42.5 million domestically (in North America) on its opening weekend, securing the top spot easily. It beat the other new release - Lindsay Lohan's Freakier Friday, which earned $29 million in US-Canada over the weekend. But Weapons' true success lies in its global appeal. Unlike Sinners, the Ryan Coogler film that broke the bank in North America, but did not quite do that well overseas, Weapons has started well outside the US as well. In its opening weekend, Weapons earned $28 million overseas, bringing its global total to $70 million. This made it the highest-grossing film over the weekend worldwide, beating not just Freakier Friday, but big Marvel tentpole The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Both the films earned $30-35 million internationally over the weekend. Weapons' achievement is stupendous, considering it has a budget of only $38 million, which means it is already at the break-even point, after just the opening weekend. Weapons and Freakier Friday's box office success AP quoted Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the data firm Comscore, as saying that viral marketing tactics, coupled with strong social media word-of-mouth, boded well for both films' success. 'The top two films could not be more different, and that's what makes this weekend so appealing for moviegoers,' Dergarabedian said. 'Both are perfectly tailored for their audiences to react in real time over the weekend to these films and then post on social media.' All about Weapons Weapons transports audiences to the small town of Maybrook, where 17 kids get up and leave their homes at 2:17 am, leaving bewildered parents in their wake. The town is left to navigate the lingering effects of trauma through horror, paranoia and a touch of existential humour. Weapons generated a lot of buzz for its strong reviews (95% on Rotten Tomatoes). The film joins a stream of successful horror movies this year, its opening numbers coming in just behind Final Destination: Bloodlines and Sinners. (With AP inputs)

‘I'm so grateful to be Nick Jonas': Wyckoff shoutout at MetLife Jonas20 kickoff leaves fans buzzing
The Jonas Brothers opened their Jonas20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour at MetLife Stadium on August 10 - but Nick Jonas had the first viral moment of the night. The Jonas Brothers kickoff their JONAS20 tour at their hometown, New Jersey.(AP) Grinning at the crowd, he declared, 'I'm so grateful to be Nick Jonas from the great state of New Jersey. Let me rephrase that - my name is Nick Jonas, and Wyckoff, New Jersey, is my hometown.' Then came the mic-drop visual: he spun around to show the back of his jacket, stitched with Wyckoff, New Jersey. Cue an eruption of cheers from the 80,000-strong audience. Swoon or side-eye? Twitter can't decide Within minutes, fan reactions flooded social media. Some were pure heart-eyes: 'Nick Jonas always knows how to keep it real and warm' and 'We're grateful he's Nick Jonas too.' Others brought the sass: 'Grateful to be the brothers' shadow?' one wrote, while another quipped, 'I am also grateful to be Nick Jonas.' And then there were the aspirational takes: 'Manifesting this level of confidence.' The mix of love, laughs, and light ribbing only amplified the moment - proof that Nick knows how to work both a stadium crowd and the internet. A New Jersey homecoming For longtime fans, the moment was more than just a playful introduction - it was a full-circle nod to the brothers' journey. From their early Disney Channel fame in the Camp Rock era to their chart-topping comeback in 2019, the Jonas Brothers' story has always had New Jersey at its heart. Nick's proud shout-out put that history front and center, connecting the stadium-sized production to the small-town streets where it all began. The moment doubled as a personal flex and a hometown love letter - the perfect icebreaker for a 20th-anniversary tour loaded with Jonas Brothers classics, solo hits, surprise guests, and even built-in 'pee breaks' for the two-and-a-half-hour runtime. The Wyckoff jacket wasn't just merch - it was a wearable love letter to the place where Nick first picked up a guitar. Also Read | Selena Gomez says the best thing she got out of her relationship with Nick Jonas was Taylor Swift Nick's cheeky hometown shout-out set the tone for Jonas20: nostalgic, personal, and unapologetically confident. If night one is anything to go by, the brothers' anniversary run will be one long string of headline-ready moments.
