Heads Up: Vijay Sethupathi stars in Ace, a film that tries to bluff with comedy, action, and a heist — but doesn't quite have the right cards. Retro Ride: Mohanlal's Thudarum revs up old-school action with Ilaiyaraaja music and raw nostalgia — but don't expect Drishyam-style twists. PSA: JJ Abrams throws it back to the '70s with Duster, where fast cars, FBI agents, and blue suede shoes collide. 👁🗨 Watch, skip, or wait — Sudhish Kamath is your binge guide, your designated driver through the noisy streets of content chaos.

Texas Wants Its Own Film Industry, and Some Creative Control
Taylor Sheridan calls his 2016 thriller Hell or High Water a love poem to Texas, but to film it, he had to go to New Mexico. The movie tracks brothers-turned-bank-robbers through West Texas oil country as they try to save the family ranch and stay a step ahead of the law. But every horse, cow and oil rig shown in the film was shot east of Albuquerque, thanks to state financial incentives for the production.

Texas House Passes Bill Sweetening Film & TV Production Incentive, With High Wattage Help
Texas is on the cusp of a sweeter deal for film and TV production, the latest state pushing to keep projects local. The Texas House officially passed Senate Bill 22 Monday in a move that would boost cash available to $300 million every two years for the next decade starting with the September 1 fiscal year – so $1.5 billion total. That's below an initial biennial $500 million the State Senate signed off on earlier this month but still a major upgrade in terms of dollars and stability. More from Deadline Brandon Sklenar Set For Taylor Sheridan-Penned Action Thriller 'F.A.S.T.' At Warner Bros Glen Powell-Starrer 'Chad Powers' Sets Hulu Premiere Date Paramount Using Taylor Sheridan, 101 Studios Relationship As Model For Success Says Co-CEO Texas appropriations run on two-year cycles and so have its film incentives. About the highest they've ever been was $200 million for the current cycle two-year cycle. The one before that was just $40 million. The new incentive would run through 2035, giving productions a whole new level of visibility. It offers direct cash grants with percentages tiered based on spending up to 25% for $1.5 million of qualified in-state expenditures. That's an increase from 20% currently, and can reach 31% with various uplifts. It's been a priority bill for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick this session and he's had some notable support from Texas natives Dennis Quaid, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Taylor Sheridan, leading to some high wattage testimony at the State House in Austin and during a major activation during SXSW to help push through the legislation. Glen Powell, Owen Wilson and more have shared their love for Texas filmmaking on social media and in a video called True To Texas – Let's Bring Productions Home filmed partly at Stray Vista Studios in Dipping Springs west of Austin. The bill, which passed the House by 112-26, now heads back to the Senate and ultimately to the desk of Gov. Greg Abbott, a supporter, who has until June 1 to sign. 'The idea is that Texas doesn't have to be the end all, just not lose productions that want to shoot here,' said Grant Wood, a co-founder with Chase Musslewhite of Media For Texas, a new group that's been spearheading the push. Its site lists a dozen productions that are Texas stories but shot in states with better incentives were better. 'Georgia gives a billion dollars a year [in tax credits]. New York is at $700 million. We really need something that's going to at least give us a seat at the table so that we can stop our Texas stories from going to New Mexico, Louisiana, Georgia. That's our biggest issue. It's not even attracting or competing to get all the production that we possibly can in Texas. It's just to stop the Texas stories from leaving,' said Musslewhite. Speaking with Deadline about the bill before the House voted, they said Texas makes sense geographically as 'a third media coast.' 'We are proud to have played a role in advancing this historic legislation, made possible by the leadership of Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Senator Joan Huffman, and Representative Todd Hunter. We extend our deepest gratitude to these champions, to the legislators who voted YES in both chambers, and to the passionate members of our creative community who have rallied behind this cause. We are also grateful for the support of Texas-born talent who understand the importance of telling Texas stories here at home,' the group said in a statement Monday. 'While the bill's funding was adjusted from the original $500 million to $300 million, this remains a landmark investment in the future of media production across the state. There are a few final steps ahead, but today's vote gives us strong confidence that SB22 will soon make its way to Governor Abbott's desk for final approval.' It called the passage a 'victory belongs to every crew member, storyteller, entrepreneur, and advocate who believes in the power of Texas-made media.' Some big names operate out of Texas from Richard Linklater-founded Austin Film Society and Austin Studios, Robert Rodriquez-based Troublemaker Studios and the ATX Studios complex, also both in Austin. Sheridan, whose latest shoot in Texas is Landman for Paramount+, is looking at partnering with businessman Ross Perot, Jr., who owns warehouses in the Alliance area of Fort Worth, to build sound stages there. The team behind juggernaut The Chosen has filmed at Capernaum Studios near Fort Worth and is now set at Camp Hoblitzelle in Midlothian. 'There's about five major developments where the land has been bought, the plans have been made … They just sort of need this bill to pass to feel confident,' says Musslewhite. The crew base is good but could certainly use expanding. She said her group is talking to the Georgia Film Academy – which has done an exceptional job in career development — to develop some sort of similar workshop in Texas 'to speed things up and help people get their trade degree very quickly.' There's been a push to boost incentive across the country with New York boosting its package to $700 million a year and California working on a major upgrade to $750 million.

Kevin Costner Thinks All The Yellowstone Characters 'Should Be In Prison.' Honestly, I Think He's Right
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Kevin Costner may have left Yellowstone on not the best of terms, but for the most part, he speaks about the show quite highly. For example, he recently complimented how the series captured 'modern-day ranching.' However, he also tells it like it is. So, let's be real. This show is dramatic and soap operatic, and yes, as the John Dutton actor said, all the characters 'should be in prison.' While Costner left Yellowstone, he didn't leave the Western genre. So, during a chat with ET, he opened up about working in this landscape and on the Taylor Sheridan drama specifically. Speaking about how it represented 'modern-day ranching' as well as its more over-the-top plot points, the actor said: Well, it's modern-day ranching. Yellowstone was able to capture that really so beautifully. I mean, it's a bit of a soap opera; we all should be in prison. Read More About What's Next For Yellowstone The Release Windows For Yellowstone's Spinoffs About Kayce, Rip And Beth Have Been Revealed, And Now I Have Two Important Questions If you watch really any episode of Yellowstone with a Peacock subscription, I think you'll find this point to be true. There are so many brutal moments in Yellowstone that single-handedly prove Costner's point. And that's not even because some of the main characters (cough, cough, Beth) DO end up in prison at one point or another. Think about it. The Duttons have the Train Station, which is literally a place they go to dump the bodies of people they've killed. All the main characters, Kayce, Beth, Jamie and Rip, have also all killed people. Beth murdered her brother in the series finale. While he may have had that one coming, it was also illegal. Rip has caused the deaths of many folks who wound up at the Train Station. Jamie killed his biological father and that journalist. Kayce is a great shot and has lethally used that skill. These are just crimes having to do with death, too. We haven't even addressed various assaults and fights that should have ended with jail time. Plus, there's also potential white-collar crime to consider. Also, can we talk about the Y brand for a second? A lot of the time, the characters don't get a choice in getting it, and it's quite a violent action. I think that would be considered a crime as well. However, since it swears people to secrecy, it hasn't led to legal action (as far as we know). Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearTo watch Yellowstone, you'll need Peacock. If you have it, you'll also get access to NBC and Bravo shows as well, alongside brilliant originals, like Poker Face. Thankfully, plans are pretty affordable and start at $7.99 per month. View Deal Again, this isn't a knock on the show. I love how dramatic it is, and it was incredible to see the lengths this family was willing to go to to protect their ranch. However, what Costner and I are saying here is simply a fact. Yellowstone is like a big soap opera, and in the real world, these people should 100% be in prison for what they've done. In fact, if you look back at the Dutton family tree and the shows about this family's history (which you can stream with a Paramount+ subscription), they are all criminals for at least one reason or another. Their enemies have also committed what feels like an infinite number of crimes. So, yeah, they should all be in jail.

Taylor Sheridan's TV Show Lineup: ‘Landman' Season 2, ‘1944', ‘Yellowstone' Spinoffs, And More
Over the past six months, Taylor Sheridan's hit Western dramas Yellowstone and its prequel series 1923 ended, much to fans' dismay. But rest assured, the Sheridan-verse is still going strong with 10 — count 'em, TEN! — new and returning series reportedly in the works from the hard-working creator. From hyped-up Yellowstone spinoffs designed to help keep the Dutton world and its beloved characters alive to highly-anticipated returning series including Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, and Landman, Sheridan has a lot in store for fans — and a lot of work cut out for himself. If you're desperately searching for the next Sheridan show to add to your watch list, or are simply wondering if and when your favorite Sheridan series are returning with new episodes, Decider's got you covered. Below is your guide to Taylor Sheridan's new, returning, and potential TV shows in various stages of development in 2025 and beyond. While not every series has an official premiere date yet (or was even officially green lit — looking at you, Lioness Season 3), we've listed the plots, casts, filming updates, and more information on Sheridan's upcoming television lineup on Paramount+ and elsewhere. So giddy up, get reading, and get watching! Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Mayor of Kingstown is as follows: 'Mayor of Kingstown follows the McLusky family – power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.' Season 4 Premiere Date: October 2025 Cast, Season 4 Filming Updates, And More: In December 2024, Paramount+ renewed Mayor of Kingstown for a fourth season, which means the crime drama about America's prison system, co-created by Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, will return. On top of Jeremy Renner, Dillon, Tobi Bamtefa, Taylor Handley, Derek Webster, Nichole Galicia, and more, Season 4 will reportedly welcome Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie), Lennie James (The Walking Dead), and Laura Benanti (Younger, No Hard Feelings) to the cast. Per Variety, Falco will play Nina Hobbs, Anchor Bay's new prison warden. James is set to portray Frank Moses, 'described as 'a legendary gangster respected in the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan, and well beyond.'' And Benanti will star as Cindy Stephens, a new Kingstown correctional officer. Per Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, Kingstown is set to return in October 2025. Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Tulsa King is as follows: 'Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight 'The General' Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a 'crew' from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.' Season 3 Premiere Date: September 2025 Cast, Season 3 Filming Updates, And More: On March 18, Paramount+ confirmed that production on Season 3 was officially underway in Atlanta and Oklahoma, with Jim McKay directing the season premiere. Since then, several new cast members have been announced. In addition to Stallone, Jay Will, Max Casella, Andrea Savage, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund, and more, Robert Patrick (1923) is joining Season 3 as Jeremiah Dunmire, 'a powerful, forceful man with deep pockets in the liquor business.' Beau Knapp (Seal Team) will play Cole Dunmire, 'Jeremiah's (Patrick) son and a trust fund country boy with crazy in his eyes.' Bella Heathcote (Pieces of Her) is also joining the third season as series regular Cleo Montague, 'a Tulsa native born and raised, and the daughter of a distillery owner.' And James Russo is coming onboard in a recurring role as New York mob boss Quiet Ray Renzetti. Paramount+ also announced that Chris Caldovino (The Sopranos), McKenna Quigley Harrington (Susie Searches) and Mike 'Cash Flo' Walden were upped to series regulars for Season 3. And one of the most exciting casting announcements is the addition of Kevin Pollak in a series regular role of Special Agent Musso, 'an FBI agent who has an axe to grind.' Plot: Per Paramount+, the official synopsis for Landman is as follows: 'Based on the notable 11-part podcast Boomtown, Landman is set in the proverbial boomtowns of West-Texas and is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. The series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires that are fueling a boom so big it's reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.' Season 2 Premiere Date: November 2025 Cast, Season 2 Filming Updates, And More: The debut season of Sheridan and Christian Wallace's Texas drama aired its finale on January 12, 2025. But fear not, Landman fans. Season 2 already started filming in Texas and is expected to premiere this fall. In addition to Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter, and more, Landman Season 2 will also welcome Oscar nominee and 1883 star Sam Elliott as a series regular. Yee haw! Plot: Per a press release from Paramount, the early synopsis for The Madison is as follows: 'The series is a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.' Premiere Date: Early 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Sheridan fans who are missing the Duttons should get excited about The Madison, the next installment in the Yellowstone universe, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Kevin Zegers, Danielle Vasinova, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman, Amiah Miller, Matthew Fox, and more. According to Deadline, the series is aiming for a 2025 premiere date, so stay tuned for more updates. Plot: Per a press release from CBS, the early synopsis for Y: Marshals (described as a working title) is as follows: 'Y: Marshals stars Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.' Premiere Date: Midseason 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: The Kayce Dutton-centric Yellowstone spinoff was announced on May 7 and will air on CBS Sundays from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. ET when it premieres in 2026. While additional cast members and Yellowstone ties remain unknown at this time, CBS has revealed Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team) will serve as showrunner. Plot: An official synopsis for Dutton Ranch (official title TBC) has yet to be released, but Yellowstone fans know this series as the Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) spinoff they've been waiting for. The series will likely follow the lives of the two core characters of Sheridan's beloved Western drama after the Yellowstone finale, which aired in December 2024. As Decider noted, 'Beth plans to stay in the ranching business with Rip and Carter (Finn Little). She finds a place with a 'little house, big barn' sitting on top of '7,000 acres deeded, another 20 in a BLM lease,' 40 miles west of Dillon, Montana where no tourists or developers lurk. While Rip agrees he could make 'something like this work,' he says 'not gonna get rich, but you can pay the bills.' Beth replies, 'You let me worry about the rich part.' With her observing the businesses of the 6666 and Bosque Ranch, we have no doubt she will quickly build a new dynasty for her, Rip and Carter to oversee.' Premiere Date: November 2025 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, the highly-anticipated Yellowstone spinoff will arrive in Q4 of 2025 along with Landman. While Paramount has yet to release official details surrounding the series, Reilly confirmed a Beth/Rip spinoff was coming back in 2024. So stay tuned to see if any other Yellowstone favorites return. Plot: Among Sheridan's new Yellowstone-related series comes another prequel. While 1883 ended in 2022 and 1923 ended in April 2025, 1944 is on the horizon, which Decider notes, 'will follow the next generation of Duttons during the height of World War II and will reveal how the political and economic circumstances will affect them and the ranch.' Premiere Date: 2026 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While an official 1944 cast has yet to be announced, fans have considered the possibility that 1923 stars like Brandon Sklenar (Spencer Dutton) and Michelle Randolph (Elizabeth Stafford) could return as their character's older selves to continue the story. In an interview with Decider, Sklenar also explained 'we'll have to wait until 1944 to confirm that' Spencer and Alex's (Julia Schlaepfer) son becomes John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) father. So here's hoping the series gives 1923 fans all the answers they seek. According to Paramount Global's Q1 2025 earnings call transcript via MarketScreener, 1944 is expected to premiere later in 2026 after Y: Marshals. Plot: Per Paramount+, 'Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program and follows a Marine recruited to befriend the daughter of a terrorist to bring the organization down from within… In Season 2, as the CIA's fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Zoe Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman), and Byron (Michael Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat. With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe is forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she has made as the leader of the Lioness program.' Season 3 Premiere Date: TBA Season 3 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Lioness fans know that despitethe positive reception Season 2 received (including a 90% certified fresh Tomatometer score), Sheridan's espionage thriller has yet to officially be renewed for a Season 3 after its Season 2 finale premiered on December 8, 2024. That said, Paramount+ has yet to cancel the original series either, and since we know the streaming service loves Sheridan shows, there's still hope for continuation. Plot: Sheridan knows no limits when it comes to the entertainment industry, so in a twist, his upcoming projects aren't all scripted TV series. Sheridan, Blake Shelton, David Glasser, Lee Metzger, and Keith Urban have a new singing competition coming to CBS. Per the network: 'The Road follows Grammy Award winner Urban, who also serves as the headlining superstar for the series, on his journey to discover the next big artist alongside Grammy Award winner Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the 'tour manager.' The docu-follow format trails a group of emerging musicians (TBA) as they open for Urban at music venues across America, competing to win over local fanbases to secure a spot in the next city and remain on the tour. In the end, only one will walk away with the ultimate prize. The Road offers viewers a backstage pass into the gritty and unforgiving life of a touring musician. With exclusive access to behind-the-scenes workings of the music industry, viewers will see what happens when some of the best up-and-coming performers pile into a tour bus and tackle a grueling schedule in pursuit of their dreams.' Premiere Date: Sundays at 9:00 PM starting fall 2025 Cast, Filming Updates, And More: Viewers will learn more about The Road's 12 Season 1 musicians as the series airs, but per The Road's teaser trailer, the performances have already been filmed at Urban concerts in Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. Plot: Longtime Sheridan fans know this list wouldn't be complete without mentioning 6666, the Yellowstone spinoff that wasn't (yet!), but that may still come together one day. Per TV Insider, when the spinoff was first announced in February 2021, Paramount+'s description was as follows: 'Founded when Comanches still ruled West Texas, no ranch in America is more steeped in the history of the West than the 6666. Still operating as it did two centuries before, and encompassing an entire county, the 6666 is where the rule of law and the laws of nature merge in a place where the most dangerous thing one does is the next thing … The 6666 is synonymous with the merciless endeavor to raise the finest horses and livestock in the world, and ultimately where world class cowboys are born and made.' Premiere Date: TBA Cast, Filming Updates, And More: While the Yellowstone offshoot 6666 was put on hold, it was expected to center on the Four Sixes ranch in Texas, where Jefferson White's character Jimmy went to work during the original series. While a cast wasn't announced in 2021, there's potential for White and other Yellowstone stars (including Sheridan!) to return down the line if the creator revisits the story. For those who don't know, the 6666 ranch is a real place near Guthrie, Texas, currently owned by Sheridan himself. So the possibility of shooting there in the future certainly remains. Until then, Decider will keep you posted on more updates in the Sheridan-verse.
