Fans annoyed ‘most ridiculous TV show ever' is getting another spin-off
It can be a pretty frustrating feeling to see one of your favourite series get cancelled just as it is about to hit its stride.
Fans of shows such as Mindhunter, The OA and The Punisher still can't seem to get over their respective cancellations.
But for Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, which stars Kelly Reilly and Wes Bentley, that certainly does not seem to be the case.
Following the Dutton family, who own the largest contiguous ranch in America, the show depicts their constant conflict with various groups, such as Native American tribes and the National park, who are seeking to encroach upon their land.
Yet, despite being described by a critic at the Guardian as a 'bloated ranch-based soapy mess', a new series centred on Kayce Dutton has been greenlit at CBS.
Titled 'Y: Marshalls', the spin-off will be written by Spencer Hudnut while Yellowstone mastermind Sheridan, who is known for writing season 1 of True Detective, will be an executive producer.
Responding to the news, there was some mixed feedback to say the least.
On X, @Brandi74950103 said: 'He was a really complex, conflicted character. If they do this right, it could be a great show.'
However, @nikkibluvs responded by saying: 'How many does that make🙄🙄'
Despite hundreds of thousands of cowboy fans over the world watching Yellowstone, it seems no one can agree whether it is good or not.
Even on the Yellowstone section of Reddit – where you'd expect to find the series's most devout followers – people have labelled the it 'the most ridiculous TV show I've ever watched'.
Dmick74 said: 'I watched the first season a couple years ago and I had a hard time believing that people were calling it a great show considering it's nothing more than a daytime soap opera with a bigger budget. It's ridiculous.'
Reddragon105 also wrote: 'It might be the dumbest show I've watched in years. We powered through the first season waiting for it to get good and it was a straight up joke.

'When season 2 started and Costner's colon cancer (which he had feet of intestines removed) was suddenly diagnosed as a blood clot by a horse vet, I turned it off for good.'
Meanwhile, Massive-Device-1200 highlighted some of the most bizarre reoccurring themes such as that all people from California are 'evil, vegan, land buyers' and they 'must be shot or driven out or bullied… only true rangers can buy land'.
Not everyone dislikes the Dutton family's misadventures, though.
Dragonsmilk commented: 'Extremely popular soap opera for men with cowboys. No more, no less.'
AuntieEvilops similarly echoed: 'It's a western soap opera. Folks shouldn't go in expecting anything more than that.'
If fans can agree on one thing, it's that Yellowstone is divisive.
But when it came to the show's finale in December last year, there was pretty much unanimous agreement that it wasa 'letdown that never should have happened'. More Trending
The latest series was first said to be in the works at the network back in March, but CBS has now given the show a 13-episode order, according to Variety.
There are plans for the series to begin shooting this summer to launch at midseason 2026.
Luke Grimes will once again play Kayce, who is the youngest of the Dutton siblings and a former Navy SEAL.

Love Island fans work out ‘real reason' couple have split again as on/off Islanders unfollow each other
LOVE Island fans claim to have worked out why one of the show's couples has split again. The Sun revealed today how Harriett, 25, and 28-year-old Ronnie have called time on their relationship while on holiday in Ibiza. 5 Love Island fans are suspicious about Ronnie and Harriett's split Credit: Rex 5 The Sun revealed today how the pair have broken up again Credit: Rex Although the pair have not formally confirmed their break-up, Harriett has complained to fans about the "bad day" she's having. Harriett and Ronnie have unfollowed each other on Instagram, with him deleting all trace of her on the photo sharing site too. But fans are suspicious about the on/off couple's latest split. Mulling it over on Reddit, many claim to have worked out why Harriett and Ronnie have broken up again. It has been suggested that Ronnie might be being lined up to make a shock entrance in this summer's Love Island for Casa Amor. The twist, which comes later in the series, always sparks drama as the couples are put to the ultimate test with a host of new bombshell arrivals. Writing on the social forum, one fan said: "They'll be back together in a month." But another replied: "Ronnie will be the big post Casa bombshell by then." Agreeing, someone else added: "No kidding. He'll cry about Harriett while hitting on other women." A fourth chimed in: "And then Harriett will come back in for him to win her back." Ronnie Vint breaks silence on rumours he's split from his Love Island girlfriend Harriett Blackmore Another viewer begged: "Please don't give the producers ideas!" Ronnie and Harriett originally split last summer - just weeks after leaving the villa. The pair then rekindled their connection on Love Island: All Stars in January. Last week, the couple were at the centre of break-up rumours after fans noticed Ronnie had deleted photos of Harriett from Instagram. A mystery post appeared on the site which claimed to show Ronnie confirming: "Yeah it's true. Will explain my side of things later." Have YOU got a story or an amazing picture or video? Email exclusive@ and you could even get PAID But Ronnie quickly hit out and insisted he was the victim of a hoax by a malicious troll. He wrote online: "This is clearly a set up. Edited because we are sweet and I haven't commented a thing. Thank you." Following today's news that the couple have in fact broken up, Harriett has spoken out. Refusing to address the reports directly, she told her Instagram followers: 'I've never felt this exhausted in my entire life. 'Love you guys! Bad day, not a bad life.' 5 Ronnie and Harriett rekindled their romance on Love Island All Stars Credit: Getty 5 Ronnie has deleted all trace of Harriett on Instagram Credit: Instagram/@ronnievint

Doctor Who fans fume that character was 'butchered' as actor speaks out on exit
Doctor Who season 15 came to a divisive end last week, and one show's stars has finally spoken out about her exit. Varada Sethu, who played Belinda Chandrab– the latest companion to join Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor in the Tardis – addressed her exit on Instagram. In an emotional post, the 30-year-old apologised for being 'late to the party' but said she 'needed to take a few days' to process the show, the finale and everything Doctor Who had brought into her life. 'My heart has doubled in size,' she wrote. 'I have felt so so full of gratitude and love, I still feel I haven't found the words to express it. It has been a true gift to know a woman like Belinda, I will never forget our journey together. 'Thank you @ncutigatwa for being my partner in crime, my beloved Doctor. You are unending, pure magic, what a privilege it's been to bear witness to it. Mom & Dad forever❤️ My sweet angel @milliegibbo, thank you for your kindness, for always lifting me up, you have stolen everyone's hearts!! I cannot wait to see what life has in store for you.'

Varada finished by thanking the 'beautiful fans' and Russell T Davies, adding she finally understands what he meant when he said her life would 'never be the same again'. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Despite Varada's grateful words, a number of fans aren't happy with how Belinda (and Varada) were treated in the finale with some going so far as to say her character was 'butchered'. 'You and Ncuti deserved BETTER!' wrote ryan__norman__97, while Merrony97 added: 'Fantastic character until the final episode where it completely jumped the shark'. Noinxo wrote, 'Feels incomplete, like someone gave me a book with pages ripped out of it; but leaving the last chapter.' 'They didn't do your character justice, but it was a Beautiful ending to a chapter. Such an amazing cast and amazing characters. Still, though, continue success in everything you do!' Sadly, this feeling that Belinda was done dirty is pretty pervasive in the Doctor Who community at the moment. Across Reddit, X, and Instagram, you'll find countless fans praising Varada for her performance but complaining about the treatment of Belinda in the finale. Their main issue seems to be that the character was established as an independent woman who had her agency stolen from her when the Doctor rewrote reality to bring her 'wish world' child, Poppy, back to life. They believe the Doctor took this decision without considering whether Belinda would have wanted a child in the first place. Our Deputy TV editor Tom Percival gives his verdict… The most recent Doctor Who finale had some moments of greatness, but honestly, for the most part, it was a confusing mess. The episode's big baddies, The Rani and Omega, were dealt with far too quickly, the stuff about Poppy was harder to wrap your heart around than theoretical physics, and don't get me started on Susan's disappearing act. That said, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find Ncuti's final decision to regenerate to save a child quite emotional, and I did enjoy seeing the Time Hotel again. Of course, the elephant in the room is Belinda's ultimate fate. I'm not sure if it was just bad storytelling or a poorly conceived idea, but the Doctor rewriting reality to give a woman a child (without her consent) just left a bad taste in my mouth. You don't have to look far to find fans expressing this view. On another Instagram post, one fan going by the name _raggedywho wrote 'NEVER forgive RTD for what he did to Ar Belinda…' Meanwhile, _ataho_ said, 'The character assassination of Belinda Chandra, Original timeline. Belinda, we mourn you.' On Reddit, Icy_Bandicoot3674 complained that 'Episode 1 Belinda is a completely different character to the rest of the season, and by episode 8, there is absolutely nothing left. She basically doesn't exist from Ep 4 to Ep 8'. This sentiment was echoed by agitatedandroid, who added, Belinda could have been so much more.' 'Perhaps a sort of cross between Donna and Martha. But she was never really given an opportunity to even be Belinda,' they continued. 'And by the end, she's not even the Belinda she started as. Her entire reality is rewritten into what the Doctor wants.' KronksKronk, however, was probably the most withering, labelling Belinda's treatment as 'gross'. More Trending 'The Belinda from episode 1 is… dead in a way, they raged. 'Her whole life got rewritten without her consent, so she suddenly has a kid and an ex-husband, and it gets played off as a victory.' It wasn't just Belinda's fate that annoyed fans who tuned in for the finale. Others were let down by the treatment of the Rani and Omega, two classic villains fans have wanted to see return for years. Others, though, were just disappointed to see Ncuti Gatwa regenerate into Billie Piper, a move criticised by some as stunt casting. Doctor Who is available to stream now on iPlayer. Got a story?

Harry and Meghan 'feared children's passports were being held up by King'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly became exasperated as they struggled to get British passports for their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet and believed their royal titles had something to do with the delay Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feared passports for their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet were being held up due to the use of their royal titles, it has been claimed. The couple are said to have been left exasperated as they waited months for British passports to arrive and reportedly believed it was due to the fact they included their children's royal titles on the application. Archie and Lilibet got prince and princess titles when their grandfather King Charles became monarch in 2022. The first time their titles were formally announced was after Lilibet's christening in March 2023. Due to the reported hold-up, it is said that Harry started to explore the possibility of changing his family surname to Spencer in a nod to his late mother, Princess Diana. A source close to Harry and Meghan reportedly told the Guardian: "The King hadn't wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names." However, Buckingham Palace has strongly denied that the King or any of his aides had anything to do with the delays in issuing the passports. Eventually, the passports were issued but the insider added: "Harry was at a point where British passports for his children with their updated Sussex surnames (since the death of Queen Elizabeth II) were being blocked with a string of excuses over the course of five months. "Out of sheer exasperation, he went to his uncle to effectively say: 'My family are supposed to have the same name and they're stopping that from happening because the kids are legally HRH, so if push comes to shove, if this blows up and they won't let the kids be called Sussex, then can we use Spencer as a surname?'." They also claimed that the Sussexes want their children to retain their titles and HRH styles so they can choose to become working royals if they so wish when they are adults. A spokesperson for the Sussexes said they do not comment on private issues about the couple's children. The Home Office declined to comment. Archie and Lilibet are eligible for both US and UK passports as dad Harry is a UK citizen while mum Meghan is an American citizen. There has been continued controversy over the Sussexes' HRH titles since the pair quit their royal roles five years ago. As part of their Megxit negotiations with the Palace, Meghan and the Duke of Sussex agreed to stop using 'Her Royal Highness' and 'His Royal Highness' at the end of March 2020. They still retain the styles, with Harry having had his since birth, but they are essentially held in abeyance. However, earlier this year, it emerged Meghan had used her HRH style on a gift basket sent to make-up entrepreneur Jamie Kern Lima last year, with a monogrammed card reading: 'With Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex'. Kern Lima showed an image of the present in footage of her podcast interview with Meghan. It contained a jar of Meghan's jam which she has started selling as part of her As Ever lifestyle business brand. A source described the basket as a 'personal gift'. The duchess's representatives denied that the couple used them, but a source later said that the Sussexes did not use HRH publicly but retained the style, and did not use it for commercial purposes.
