Yellowstone, the modern-day western starring Kevin Costner as ranching family patriarch John Dutton, has been airing since 2018. It became an expectedly huge hit for the Paramount Network, the sort of linear TV hit people didn’t think could happen in the age of streaming. The show has even produced several spinoffs, with more on the way.
And now, the original series is ending; the upcoming second half of the fifth season will contain the final episodes. Reports vary over exactly why it’s ending, but it often comes back to scheduling conflicts with Costner.
The most likely source of those scheduling conflicts? Horizon, a pair of movies that will follow an ensemble cast of characters colonizing the American west before and after the Civil War. The first teaser trailer is now out, so Yellowstone fans can get a glimpse of what Costner ended the show for:
What’s interesting is that Costner clearly still wants to work in a Western milieu, but I guess he doesn’t want to do it on the Dutton ranch.
The first Horizon movie will come on June 28, 2024. The second will follow on August 16. According to The A.V. Club, Costner — who also directs these movies — originally wanted to make this a four-part event, but the Hollywood actors strike disrupted his plans and he had to whittle things down. A third movie may be forthcoming down the line.
Captain Marvel is back in new teaser trailer for The Marvels
As long as we’re watching trailers, Marvel put out a new one for The Marvels, its forthcoming superhero team-up movie. The film will find Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) teaming up with Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) and Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), but this new teaser focuses mostly on Captain Marvel. She’s the one who got her own movie before this, after all:
The Marvels will be out in theaters on November 10.
Finally, since it’s bad luck to have a trailer roundup post with less than three things, please enjoy this movie for Night Swim, which stars Wyatt Russell as a former baseball player who moves into a new house with his family only to find that his pool is…wait for it…haunted as s*it.
Maybe put in a bird bath instead. Let them deal with it. Night Swim is coming out “soon.”
