Casting News: Titus Welliver on Dark Winds, Days Recasts a DiMera and More
Titus Welliver is feeling some Dark Winds.
The ever-busy actor — who, not long after he ended his run as TV's Harry Bosch, joined the MGM+ crime drama The Westies — apparently will first slip in a visit to the acclaimed AMC drama, according to a photo from the set Welliver posted on social media.

There's no word yet on Welliver's role — TVLine has reached out to AMC for character details — but the photo and his caption ('back on the chain…') seem to indicate he's playing a Season 4 prisoner of some sort. Dark Winds concluded its third season in April; check out our finale recap here.
Welliver is best known to TV fans for his starring role in Prime Video's crime drama Bosch, which ended a seven-season run in 2021, and its spinoff Bosch: Legacy, which wrapped up earlier this year. He also guest-starred in an April episode of CBS' The Equalizer with an eye towards getting his own spinoff, but it failed to earn a series pick-up. His other TV credits include Deadwood, The Good Wife and Sons of Anarchy.

Who is MacKenzie Scott? All about Jeff Bezos' first wife
Amid the forthcoming nuptials of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former TV anchor Lauren Sánchez, attention has turned to his ex-wife, influential philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. Scott, 55, helped build Amazon in its early days and remains a major figure despite avoiding the spotlight post-divorce. The American Book Award winner has gone on to write two novels and become a celebrated do-gooder, providing sizable contributions to educational and racial equity causes and quietly redefining modern philanthropy. As Bezos, 61, moves into a more high-society life with Sánchez, 55, here's what to know about his first wife. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding: Everything we know so far Why did Jeff Bezos get divorced? How much money did MacKenzie Scott get? Bezos and Scott married in 1993 in Seattle, going on to have four children – three sons and one daughter. The couple divorced in 2019 after 25 years of marriage. In their divorce settlement, Scott received 25% of their shared Amazon stake, valued at roughly $36 billion. Bezos retained 75% of the couple's Amazon stock, in addition to her voting control in the company, as previously reported by USA TODAY. The settlement made Scott one of the wealthiest women in the world. Selena Gomez is one of Forbes' richest self-made women, Rihanna falls on list MacKenzie Scott foundation: Philanthropic transformation of Jeff Bezos' ex-wife Post-divorce, the Amazon cofounder pledged to give away the majority of her wealth. She has given away more than $19 billion in donations to date through her foundation, Yield Giving, and has become known as a rapid, "no-strings-attached" philanthropist – in contrast to Bezos' slower pace of giving. Scott has donated to more than 2,000 nonprofits over the past six years, proving to have a "transformational effect" on said organizations, a February study said. Scott is also part of The Giving Pledge, founded by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates to fund groups working on issues such as poverty alleviation, refugee aid, disaster relief, global health and education. Her generosity has made headlines, though not much else. She rarely gives interviews to date and has kept a low public profile. MacKenzie Scott has donated $19 billion. The impact? 'Transformational,' new study says MacKenzie Scott married (and divorced) after Jeff Bezos After her first marriage to Bezos, Scott married Seattle science teacher Dan Jewett in 2021, after first meeting at her children's school, the Washington Post reported. Scott filed for divorce in September 2022, which was finalized in January 2023. Contributing: Coral Murphy Marcos and Greta Cross

Paramount Is One Step Closer to Ditching the Showtime Brand Entirely
Stop us if you've heard this one before: Paramount+ is undergoing a name change. Well, sort of. Paramount+ on Tuesday announced that its ad-free tier, previously rebranded in January 2023 as Paramount+ With Showtime, will henceforth be known as… Paramount+ Premium. It will remain $12.99/month, and continue to offer full access to Showtime's slate of originals, which include The Chi, Dexter: Resurrection and Yellowjackets. More from TVLine MobLand Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+ Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to End With Season 5 at Paramount+ SkyMed Renewed for Season 4 - Who on the Cast Is Confirmed to Return? Now, here's where things get unnecessarily confusing: The Showtime cable network was also renamed Paramount+ With Showtime in 2023. But rather than go back to just being known as Showtime, the network will retain the Paramount+ With Showtime moniker — at least until Paramount inevitably decides to sunset the Showtime brand entirely. Because we all know that's coming. The Paramount+ With Showtime minus 'With Showtime' news comes six weeks after Warner Bros. Discovery revealed that two years after it rebranded as Max, its streaming service will once again be called HBO Max later this summer. Because time is a flat circle. And it'd be too easy just to call it HBO. Surely, you have snark—err, thoughts to share about the Paramount+ Premium rebrand (why not just call it CBS All Access again?!?) so have at it!
