Late last year, the five-season run of Yellowstone came to a conclusion. Before the series finale in December, it was announced that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and her husband, Rip Wheeler, in the first direct Yellowstone spinoff. Now, word has emerged that a second Yellowstone spinoff is in the works featuring Luke Grimes as Beth’s younger brother, Kayce Dutton.
According to Deadline, CBS is developing the new spinoff, which would be the first show in the franchise created directly for the network. SEAL Team veteran Spencer Hudnut will be guiding the series through development and may end up as the showrunner as well.
In the final episode of the series, Kayce sold the Yellowstone ranch — with the blessing of his sister and brother-in-law — to the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, whose ancestors controlled the land before the Dutton family claimed it for themselves. In return for that sweetheart deal, Kayce and his wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille), as well as their son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), were allowed to remain in a house built on the land where they had set up a small family business.
Without the fate of the ranch to fight for, it’s unclear what the premise of the new series would be about. The report is vague about the details, but it suggests that it will connect to Kayce’s history as a Navy SEAL.
In addition to this potential series and the one starring Reilly and Hauser, a third spinoff, The Madison, is already well-underway. Michelle Pfeiffer will headline that show. In the meantime, Peacock recently added all of the episodes for Yellowstone season 5 part 2.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
