Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly moves on from Kevin Costner series in new detective drama
Yellowstone actress Kelly Reilly, known for her role as Beth Dutton alongside Kevin Costner in Taylor Sheridan's drama, has signed on to an intriguing new detective series.
Saying goodbye to Paramount Plus' Western saga, Yellowstone fan-favourite Reilly is transitioning to a "riveting" crime thriller based in the UK.
The upcoming drama, set to broadcast on Sky, features the London-born actress as a former detective turned teacher living in a fictional Welsh town that's been rocked by the death of a young boy.
Named Under Salt Marsh, the series also stars English actor Rafe Spall, Game of Thrones star Jonathan Pryce, Nightsleeper's Naomi Yang and Industry's Harry Lawtey.
The plot summary states: "Under Salt Marsh is a riveting crime thriller set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen.
"As a once-in-a-generation storm starts brewing far out at sea... teacher Jackie Ellis finds the body of her 8 year old student, Cefin, apparently drowned.

"The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, stirring up the spectre of an unresolved cold case that shook the town three years prior – the vanishing of Jackie's niece, Nessa, which cost her career.
"Cefin's death brings Jackie's former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to Morfa Halen to head the investigation into a community he let down once before.
"Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good."
Reilly, aged 47, takes on the role of teacher Jackie Ellis, with Spall portraying her former flame, Detective Eric Bull, reports

The cast also features talents such as Sandman's Dinita Gohil, Bad Sisters' Brian Gleeson, Fresh Meat's Kimberley Nixon, Happy Valley's Mark Stanley, Fool Me Once's Dino Fetscher and Julian Lewis Jones from House of the Dragon.
Currently in production across locations in Wales, the series is a brainchild of Claire Oakley (known for Make Up) and comes under the production banner of Little Door Productions working hand in hand with Sky Studios.
Add to that, the series Under Salt Marsh has been given a boost with backing from the Welsh Government through Creative Wales.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have such a talented cast bringing these characters to life," remarked Elwen Rowlands, CEO of Little Door.
"Claire's compelling scripts tell a thrilling story of a community deeply connected with its environment, raw with emotion, and beautifully mirrored by the stunning backdrop of North Wales where the story unfolds."
Games of Thrones actor Jonathan Pryce will star
On top of Under Salt Marsh, Yellowstone's own Reilly has another intriguing project lined up - the forthcoming film Last Meals. In this new prison-themed flick, she'll share the screen with Boyd Holbrook and Samuel L Jackson, who portrays a "disgraced former White House chef" named Walter.
In his new role, Walter is tasked with preparing the final meals for death row inmates, and he develops a connection with Reed, an inmate on hunger strike.
Walter suspects that Reed might be innocent and, with assistance from Reilly's character Hannah, attempts to challenge the prison head, bringing a glimmer of hope to the other prisoners.
This follows the conclusion of Yellowstone in December 2024, which wrapped up after five seasons and 53 episodes.
Under Salt Marsh will be accessible on Sky and the streaming service NOW in the U.K. and Ireland. NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution will manage the international sales of the series.
Yellowstone is available to stream now on Paramount Plus and Netflix.

8 historic board games that originated in Asia
2. Shogi (Japan, approximately 8th century) Above Shogi (Photo: Mahmoud Adel / Unsplash) If Western chess is war with honour, shogi is war with espionage, betrayal and reincarnation. Known as Japanese chess, shogi was played by samurai and is still a cultural mainstay, with televised tournaments and manga fame (see: March Comes in Like a Lion ). What makes shogi interesting is how captured pieces switch sides. Your opponent's bishop, for example, can become your assassin. Brutal, poetic and very Kill Bill . Where to play it now: Try shogi apps or dive into the real-deal woodboard version sold at Tokyo's Nakamura Jōki shop (established 1859). You can also stream a match and watch pros in kimonos face off like it's an intellectual WWE showdown. 3. Xiangqi (China, 12th to 13th century AD) Above Xiangqi (Photo: Vyacheslav Koval / Unsplash) Xiangqi is what happens when military strategy meets Taoist thinking. The gameboard mimics a battlefield, complete with a 'river' that divides the two armies and 'palaces' to protect the king (general). Cannons jump over pieces to attack, and elephants can't cross water. As far as board games go, it can be fast, fierce and is often played by shirtless uncles in the parks of Beijing, where he will obliterate you in around 40 moves. Where to play it now: Visit Hong Kong's Victoria Park or Taipei's chess squares. See more: Game on! Spice up your group outings with these fun board games 4. Makruk (Thailand, 12th to 14th century) Above Makruk (Photo: B20180 / Wikimedia Commons) Makruk is Thailand's elegant version of chess, and many argue it's even closer to the game's original Indian ancestor, chaturanga (which we'll discuss later). Here, pawns turn into queens, pieces have more limited range and endgames are more strategic than chaotic. It's like playing chess in a tuxedo—more refined, less brutal. Unlike many of these board games, which have gone to obscurity, Thai kids still learn makruk at school, and the game is often played at temples or during quiet family gatherings. It is less performative than Western chess, but just as savage underneath. Where to play it now: Look for local chess cafés in Bangkok or visit Some luxury hotels even offer makruk boards in their libraries. 5. Pachisi (India, 4th century CE) Above Pachisi (Photo: Jan Ranft / Unsplash) Pachisi, also known as the royal game of India, is over 1,000 years old and was reportedly played with live courtiers as pawns at Emperor Akbar's palace. The cross-shaped board symbolises karma and fate, and the game blends chance (cowrie shells were used instead of dice) with strategy. It later inspired Ludo, Sorry! and every friendship-ending move in Parcheesi. Think of it as the chic, ancient ancestor of modern party games, but with better outfits and more drama. Where to play it now: You'll still find hand-painted pachisi boards in Rajasthan's artisan markets. You can also download a digital version to play while waiting for your turmeric latte. 6. Hanafuda (Japan, 18th century) Above Hanafuda (Photo: Marcus Richert / Wikimedia Commons) When Western playing cards were banned in Japan, gamblers and rebels made their own. Enter hanafuda, or 'flower cards'. Each card represents a month with poetic floral illustrations (think cherry blossoms, irises, maple leaves). It's part memory game, part art appreciation. Where to play it now: You can still buy exquisite hanafuda decks in Kyoto (Nintendo, which started as a hanafuda card manufacturer, makes them) or download apps to play. Koi-Koi is its most famous variant. 7. Chaturanga (India, 6th century) Above Chaturanga (Photo: Chaturaji / Wikimedia Commons) Long before pawns dreamed of promotions and bishops cut across diagonals, there was chaturanga, the grandfather of board games. It's a game of military strategy from ancient India that would go on to become chess as the world knows it. Played on an eight-by-eight board and featuring four divisions of the Indian army (infantry, cavalry, elephants and chariots), chaturanga mimicked battlefield tactics in turn-based form. It travelled westward to Persia (where it became shatranj), passed through the Islamic world and eventually reached medieval Europe, picking up queens, bishops and castles along the way. While modern chess has shed many of its Sanskrit roots, the soul of the game remains distinctly Asian. And in case you're wondering: yes, the term 'checkmate' is derived from the Persian 'shāh māt'—meaning 'the king is helpless'. Where to play it now: Modern recreations of chaturanga can be found in historical gaming museums or online platforms. For a cultural deep dive, some Indian museums and game cafés host traditional board game nights featuring ancient classics like chaturanga, pachisi and moksha patamu.

Mahjong (China, mid-1800s) Above Mahjong (Photo: Jing Bo Wang / Unsplash) Some say mahjong is a game, others say it's a lifestyle. Born in the Qing Dynasty and codified in the 19th century, mahjong combines memory, strategy, luck and the kind of family feuds that only a four-player table can inspire. With its beautifully etched tiles and hypnotic clacking, mahjong isn't just played, it's performed. The game reflects Confucian ideals of harmony and balance, and its complexity has kept generations hooked across Asia and beyond. Mahjong travelled with Chinese diaspora communities in the early 20th century and was quickly embraced in the West, particularly among Jewish American women in the 1920s (a love affair that still thrives today). Today, it's both highbrow and homey: fashion houses like Valentino and Gucci have created mahjong-inspired accessories, and luxury game sets can run into the thousands. Where to play it now: Drop by Hong Kong or Shanghai teahouses or Taiwanese night markets where you'll find old masters and eager rookies locked in all-day tile battles. You can also check Chinatown communities worldwide. Whether it's NYC or Vancouver, mahjong parlours remain social hubs. Brands like Mahjong Line have also given the game a Gen-Z facelift with colourful redesigns and Instagram-friendly sets.
