Harrison Ford has shock response when asked about returning to the Yellowstone universe
Paramount Plus' second Yellowstone prequel series 1923 came to a close with the bloody Season 2 finale last month, leaving fans curious about the future of the franchise. While the streaming service does have another prequel series in development - 1944 - set more than two decades later - very little has been confirmed about the show. It is believed to follow the life of 20-year-old John Dutton II, who was just born in the 1923 Season 2 finale, who will seemingly father Kevin Costner 's John Dutton III. Many fans were surprised that both Harrison Ford, 82, and Helen Mirren, 79, survived the bloody Season 2 finale, which could technically open the door for his and Mirren's return in 1944. Granted, they would both be 100 years old in the show, if they returned in the present day during the 1944 series. While there is the possibility of Ford and Mirren returning in flashback scenes, set between 1923 and 1944, Ford revealed at a for your consideration (FYC) event (via THR) that he would be open to returning. 'I'm still alive,' Ford said of the possibility of returning, joking he'd only do so if series creator Taylor Sheridan, 'asks nice.' Still, he admitted, 'I have no idea what his plans are,' referring to Sheridan and the 1944 prequel. Mirren also joked she was, 'convinced that I was going to die so I was quite surprised I was still alive at the end of the show.' Both Jacob and Cara Dutton did indeed survive the bloody final standoff between the Dutton's and the wealthy Donald Whitfield (Timothy Dalton), who was trying to wrest the Dutton family land from them. The Season 2 finale also finally brought Alexandra (Julia Schlaepfer) and Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) back together after being torn apart all season, with Alex giving birth to John Dutton II, named after Spencer's late brother, though Alex would die shortly after giving birth. The 1923 newborn John Dutton II seems to be the show's direct link to the flashship Yellowstone universe, as John Dutton III's father, though that has yet to be directly confirmed from Sheridan's camp. Still, Mirren was enthralled by the finale, that this family essentially hinges on this newborn baby in the Season 2 finale. 'I love the fact that the future of Yellowstone is left in this tiny baby, in the arms of two older people, grandparents age. I thought that was a very interesting concept,' Mirren said. Still, Mirren was enthralled by the finale, that this family essentially hinges on this newborn baby in the Season 2 finale She added 'And [creator] Taylor [Sheridan] now I think is going to do 1944, as I understand, so that will be interesting too, the next generation.' As far as a potential return for Ford, there was a moment in the Yellowstone Season 2 finale that featured a flashback of a young John Dutton III (Costner) and a 90-year-old John Dutton II (Dabney Coleman), who tells his son not to sell an inch of the land his family has amassed over the years. While Jacob wasn't Spencer's father or John III's father, he did serve as the ranch's protector for decades, so it's possible there could be a similar scene with an aging Jacob near death and a young John Dutton II or Spencer. Paramount is also developing present-day Yellowstone spin-offs following Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and another for CBS following Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).

Landman Season 2 adds a new star from creator Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe
Paramount Plus' beloved new series Landman is getting a new star for its second season, one fans familiar with Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe will be familiar with. The first season of Landman debuted in mid-November 2024 with the 10-episode season wrapping up in early January, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris. The streaming service renewed the series for a second season back in March, with production starting up earlier this month. Thornton returns alongside Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, Michelle Randolph, Paulina Chávez, Kayla Wallace, Mark Collie, James Jordan and Colm Feore in Season 2. Sheridan also created Landman alongside Christian Wallace, based on Wallace's Boomtown podcast. Who will be joining Thornton and the rest of the cast in the West Texas oil drama? It's none other than Sam Elliott, who starred in Sheridan's Yellowstone prequel 1883. There are no details as to what character Elliott may be portraying on the show, which follows the lives of both blue collar and white collar men and women in the West Texas gas and oil industry. It's possible that Elliott could be playing Thornton's on-screen father, though they're just 11 years apart, but we'll have to wait and see. This will be Elliott's second stint in a Taylor Sheridan series, following his portrayal of Shea Brennan in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883. Brennan was a former Union Army captain who works for the Pinkerton Agency, leading a wagon train expedition westward. His emotional portrayal of Brennan - fueled by the loss of the character's wife and daughter to smallpox - earned Elliott a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2023. With production currently under way in Texas, it's possible the second season could eye a November debut like the first season, though no date has been revealed yet. The show is set in the West Texas oil fields, following the fictional oil company M-TEX and landman Tommy Norris, who juggles both his wild job and his family. When Tommy's not trying to control his ex Angela (Ali Larter) and daughter Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), he's trying to protect M-TEX's stake in a volatile landscape including drug cartels and rival oil companies. This will be Elliott's second stint in a Taylor Sheridan series, following his portrayal of Shea Brennan in the first Yellowstone prequel 1883 Landman ranked as a top 10 streaming video on demand (SVOD) original series in the fourth quarter of 2024. 'The series had 35 million global streaming viewers for the premiere episode and set new several records for Paramount Plus. It was the streaming service's most watched global premiere and finale in the streamer's history, and it was its top original show, engagement driver and household hit. Elliott will next lend his voice to The Dragon in the upcoming film Grendel alongside Bryan Cranston, Dave Bautista and Jeff Bridges.

Christian Pulisic 'doesn't have the answers' for USMNT but 'I care so much for this team, for this country'
USMNT captain Christian Pulisic had his two quietest games in a national team shirt in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal and third-place game, and it's no surprise that the Yanks lost both of those games. The week has left Mauricio Pochettino's program in a state of shock just 13 months out from the 2026 World Cup on home soil. Pulisic spoke to Paramount Plus' Nico Cantor after the game and the AC Milan star had very few answers for what's befell the USMNT in a 1-0 loss to Panama and 2-1 loss to Canada, both on American soil. MORE — What we learned from Canada loss | Player ratings 'Obviously disappointed,' Pulisic said. 'We'll go talk now but we've gotta come back from this of course. We're not at our best right now. ... Now all we cando is be examples at our clubs every day, be the best that we can be. 'When we come back, some things need to change. I don't have all the answers at the moment.' Pulisic was asked about the poor performances coming so close to the World Cup. He did not mince words. 'We'll see when it comes around who can be there,' Pulisic said. 'The feeling is not good right now. We need to turn it around and we can hopefully build some momentum this summer.' Pulisic said he enjoys playing in the No. 10 role for Pochettino but acknowledged it's been 'tough' as he's 'not seeing as much of the ball as I'd like.' And he also delivered some passion when asked about being given the captain's band to start a game for the first time under Pochettino's reign. 'This team is everything to me,' Pulisic said. 'I care so much for this team, for this country. I hope people know that about me. It's truly an honor to lead this country.'
