The Revenge Club ending explained: Who is the twisted killer among the group?
What started off as harmless fun has turned deadly, but who’s behind it all?
The Revenge Club started out as a divorce support group – but Rachel, Emily, Mina, Calum, Steven and Tej channelled their grief into something far more fun when they decided to get their vengeance on the exes that wronged them. It wasn’t set to last though, and while deep-faking pictures of a wild night in Ibiza is fun enough, or even freaking out an ex-best friend as she moves into the home once shared with a cheating spouse, murder takes things to a whole new level. As romance blossomed between Emily and Calum, and friendships grew tighter, it seemed someone had only revenge on their mind – and it turned deadly. Soon the body count was well and truly growing. First to go was Jack – the emotionally and financially abusive 'entrepreneur bro' husband of Rachel (who, it turned out, hadn’t even officially left him). Found dead in his own pool after a wild party, with a deadly mix of ketamine, cocaine and alcohol in his system, Jack’s death seemed like an accident. That is, until Emily’s husband Dan is found dead at the bottom of his staircase with a major head wound shortly afterwards. Now with two bodies attached to this club, and police realising some of the divorce club were present at the party Dan died at, suspicions began to grow. But the wheels truly came off when Steven’s wife Sue is found dead after someone let loose a jar of wasps in her car, prompting a fatal allergic reaction. What a way to go.

With everyone left now a suspect and panic setting in, here’s who was behind it all, and what happened when they felt the net closing in… The Revenge Club Ending Explained: Who is behind the deadly acts? Not knowing who to trust, and after witnessing Steven leaving the rec centre with blood on his hands, Emily is in fear for her life. Thankfully, Calum’s family have an old fishing cabin in the woods to hide in, and the couple flee, ready to leave the others behind and rely on each other. Police are on the hunt for former soldier Steven, believing him to be behind everything. It doesn’t help that they discover an empty gun case and bullets in his caravan, and find out he was dishonorably discharged from the Army after killing his commanding officer. Tej and Rachel decide to hide out together at her house, getting high and hoping they’re left alone as Steven goes on the run. Their moment of peace is ruined though as Steven breaks in, demanding to speak to them. He insists he was not behind the murder, having run away after finding Rita’s body because he believes he’s being framed, but they remain unconvinced. He eventually wins them over when he shares that he was discharged from the Army after his commanding officer turned on a 19-year-old, believing him to be a spy after an IED explosion. Rather than the teenager being killed, Steven saved him and turned his gun on the officer instead. When he discovers Rita is still alive – albeit in a coma – his relief speaks volumes, and Rachel and Taj decide to help him prove his innocence. But with only two suspects left – Emily and Calum – the group get investigating and discover Calum’s deadly secret… he was once suspected of murdering an old girlfriend. Her body was pulled from a lake after a weekend away in the woods, and while it was ruled a suicide, her family have always argued otherwise. When Taj traces Emily’s phone as far as a service station on route to the same woodlands, they make an educated guess and head off to save her. How does The Revenge Club end? <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/11/Martin-Compston-68c7cbe.jpg" width="7008" height="4672" alt="A woman with light brown hair wearing a beige trench coat leans into a car, speaking urgently to a man seated inside. The man, dressed in a brown jacket, listens intently. The scene is dimly lit with warm orange lighting, suggesting a tense or dramatic moment at night." title="The Revenge Club" /> At the cabin, Emily realises Calum is acting strangely, trying to force her to talk about finding Rita and pushing how much he loves her. After an argument sees him storm off into the woods with an axe, Emily later placates him, telling him on his return that she loves him too. But when she switches her phone off and hears messages from Rachel warning her that Calum may have been behind it all, she quickly gets dressed and tries to sneak out… only for Calum to catch her doing so. Panicking, she hits Calum in the head with a spade and leaves, but he chases her into the woods. She trips and falls, and Calum pins her down, urging her to listen to him, but he’s stopped by Steven, who shoots him and frees her just as the police arrive. Steven is immediately arrested, despite Rachel and Taj protesting his innocence, while Emily stands in stunned silence. Taj argues he saved her, but Steven responds that “they saved him first”, signalling he didn’t mind being arrested if it meant they were now all safe. When the police go to check on Calum, he’s gone – seemingly into the lake that he was accused of killing his ex-girlfriend. Two months later, the detectives are closing up the case, with Calum never found, despite police across the country looking for him. Things don’t seem airtight though, with certain pieces of evidence not quite lining up. Emily runs into Malcolm on the street as she prepares to go away. He tells her that Rita is slowly recovering, and he’s looking forward to a relationship with her now he knows she’s his mum. Asking how she’s getting on, the truth is finally revealed. As Emily praises him for the work he did with the support group, and how it helped her process her grief, flashbacks reveal she was actually the one behind all the murders. She spiked Jack with ketamine at the party, before allowing him to drown, and later pushed her ex Dan down the stairs. After discovering Steven’s ex, Sue, was trying to get back with him for a stake in his father’s £2million estate when he died, she killed her with the wasp trap. Rita unfortunately became collateral damage when she tried to replace Steven’s keys. Despite being shot, Calum even appears to be in on it all as well. Meeting up with him, Emily’s voiceover reveals the extent of their relationship: "Finding someone who sees what you’ve become, really sees it, and doesn’t ask you to be different, or better or good. Just you. And that’s how you know it’s real". Reunited, the pair head off on their new life together. The Revenge Club is available to stream on Paramount+.

Martin Compston talks new show The Revenge Club: "I think we've all got little revenge fantasies"
The Line of Duty star reveals who would be the subject of his own revenge while promoting the new Paramount+ thriller.
"Some revenge on Uri [Geller] would be good," says Line of Duty's Martin Compston when asked if he's ever had the urge to enact a little payback on anyone. "Uri said he moved the ball, that Scotland penalty against England in ’96. And I don't believe he did it, but the fact he tried it…" For context, Compston is talking about his latest project, Paramount+ thriller The Revenge Club, which follows six strangers at a divorce support group who decide to retaliate against the people who have broken their hearts. But what starts out as petty pranks — rat infestation, anyone? — eventually turns deadly. "As the group's plans grow bolder, the line between justice and madness begins to blur – and someone might just take things too far," reads the official synopsis. "I think all of us, we've all got little revenge fantasies, whether it be the high school bully, somebody's smashed into your car, somebody's made your work life hell," says Compston. "In general, people are good, so they just stay fantasies. But we've got these six people in this unique situation where they're all forced together. In no other walk of life would they be friends, but then over a couple of drinks, a bit of bravado in the pub, it suddenly sounds like a good idea. "They've all got different reasons — that's why I like the scripts… And then it's like a game of chicken: none of them want to pull out of it. They get a taste for it, and they find a little thing in their lives that makes them smile and gives them some excitement. "But they get carried away. It gets out of hand." Compston plays Calum, a man fighting to save his relationship with his school-age daughter following the breakdown of his marriage. He's joined by Aimée-Ffion Edwards (Slow Horses, Peaky Blinders, Luther) as Emily, whose life completely falls apart after her husband leaves her. But while The Revenge Club has its fair share of emotionally confronting moments, there's also a darkly comic thread running through the six episodes – something Compston enjoyed immensely. "As it goes on you get to stretch yourself a wee bit with the comedy elements, which I've always kind of needed to rein in [in other projects], but it felt really safe with our directors, Tim [Kirkby] and Dan [O'Hara], to push that. "There's one bit where I have to come in and I went, 'F**k it, I'll do a cartwheel or a f**king forward roll in.' And I'm sure it doesn't make the cut, but it was that kind of environment where you were like: try something and if it's funny and it works, we'll use it, and if not, then we won't. "So I loved being in that. It felt a real free place to express yourself."

Perhaps they could take a leaf out of Compston's book... "It wasn’t really revenge, but we've all switched numbers with your pal's phone, and he thinks he's texting a young lady and he's actually texting you," he laughs. "That can be quite funny. But not as funny when you're on the receiving end of it. That's not very good." The Revenge Club is streaming now on Paramount+. Get a seven day free Paramount Plus trial at Amazon Prime Video.

What to watch on streaming: today's picks from Netflix, Prime Video and more
Looking for something to watch today on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV and more? Don't miss our experts' recommendations...
We can all feel a bit overwhelmed when looking for something to watch in the world of streaming, so if you're in need of some help, you've come to the right place. This week on Netflix: Wake Up Dead Man, the marvellous third instalment in writer/director Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series, dares to get a bit spooky, as it finds gentleman sleuth Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) tackling the fiendish mystery of a seemingly impossible “locked room” murder. Josh O’Connor lends support as the small-town priest who’s in the frame for the crime. Put-upon house-sitter Trevor Bingley is back, plagued this time by an ever-crawling baby he wasn’t supposed to be looking after. Rowan Atkinson’s mostly visual comedy Man Vs Baby delivers plenty of wholesome Christmas chaos. Over on Apple TV, the creative team behind Top Gun: Maverick hits the asphalt and keeps the pace up for exhilarating drama F1 set in the world of Formula One. Brad Pitt is the former hotshot getting back behind the wheel with the help of an old buddy (Javier Bardem). Meanwhile, the door closes on Amazon’s “new chapter” of Aussie soap Neighbours after two years, much to the disappointment of a loyal audience gripped by the goings-on in Ramsay Street for four decades. How will this finale compare to the one from 2022, when the show was axed by 5? It might not be a huge stretch for him, but George Clooney puts in a roundly entertaining performance as a Hollywood A-lister undergoing a crisis of confidence in Jay Kelly, the latest comic drama from film-maker Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story). It’s Adam Sandler, though, who takes the acting honours as the star’s long-suffering manager. In The Roses over on Disney+, Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch get their claws out as the married couple whose relationship collapses in a new adaptation of black comedy The War of the Roses. There's no shortage of streaming options, and so to give you a bit of a hand, RadioTimes.com has collated some of the best new offerings: from Netflix and Disney Plus to Prime Video, BBC iPlayer and Apple TV, here are the latest highlights across the services. Whether it's a police procedural drama like NCIS: Origins, a reality show like Squid Game: the Challenge or a fascinating documentary thriller such as The Moonies: Married to the Cult, there's something here to suit everyone's taste. Take a look at the list below, which includes all the details about where you can watch any title – and what we think.

South Park season 29 release date speculation and latest news
Who will find themselves in the show's satirical crosshairs next?
South Park is winding down from a manic few months, which have seen Trey Parker and Matt Stone race to keep up with an ever-changing news cycle and a worryingly unstable world. The show has proven that, even after nearly three decades, it is more than capable of ruffling feathers and courting controversy, with the citizens of South Park getting into more jaw-dropping scenarios across the last ten chapters. The creative team will now be taking a well-deserved break, but the future of South Park is secure, following a major deal (valued at $1.5 billion) which will keep the animated series on Comedy Central and Paramount Plus for another five years. Their long-held position at Paramount might also entice the show to comment on a recent media news story that has dominated headlines in recent days – more on that potential storyline below, as well as some good old fashioned release date speculation. South Park season 29 release date speculation South Park fans have endured a rather chaotic release pattern as of late, with inconsistent gaps between seasons and abrupt episode delays making it difficult to predict precisely when the show will return. On the one hand, showrunners Trey Parker and Matt Stone might want an extended break after their recent production challenges, but they could be tempted back sooner given such huge news stories are continuing to break. Whichever the case, we can be relatively sure that South Park season 29 will premiere at some point in 2026. South Park season 29 plot speculation: What could happen next? South Park seasons 27 and 28, which aired back-to-back over the past few months, have been unrelenting in their criticism of President Donald Trump and the broader state of politics in the United States. By the time season 29 comes around, it seems highly unlikely that these complaints will have gone away, so we can probably expect more brutal satire of the current administration and its most controversial figures. Closer to home, Parker and Stone may attempt to comment on the recent discourse around a potential acquisition of Warner Bros by Paramount – the very same company that hosts South Park. Paramount and Netflix are currently locked in a fierce battle for the historic Hollywood film studio, with the outcome unclear at the time of writing this article – but perhaps it will have come into focus by South Park season 29's premiere. The proposed business deal has stoked fears in both directions, with questions raised over Netflix's support (or lack thereof) for the cinema industry as well as the Paramount-owning Ellison family's proximity to Trump. The US President could well decide to block both of the proposed deals, amid commentary that either one could risk creating a monopoly, as one of the media giants would be significantly bolstered by WB's existing empire. South Park creators Parker and Stone made it clear that they wouldn't be holding back their opinions and criticisms during the second Trump term, so don't assume they would shy away from mocking even their own employers for season 29 storylines. Is there a South Park season 29 trailer? Alas, there's no footage from South Park season 29 just yet. We'll update this page when a teaser drops. South Park is available to stream on Paramount Plus.

Landman season 2 release schedule: When will new episodes arrive on Paramount+?
Taylor Sheridan's drama starring Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore is releasing new episodes now.
The second season of Landman is now in full swing, and so far it's turning out to be a hard-hitting, powerful instalment of the show, as it has grappled with death and loss for our central characters. For instance, episode 4 saw Demi Moore's Cami finally reckoning with the loss of her husband Monty, who was played by Jon Hamm in season 1, while the Norris family also attended the funeral of Tommy's (Billy Bob Thornton) mother. This latest run of the show once again comes from Taylor Sheridan, the creator of other Paramount hits including Yellowstone, Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown, and there is no doubt still plenty of drama yet to come in the remaining episodes. But if you're wondering when the next instalment in the season will arrive, then never fear – we've got you covered. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the release schedule for Landman season 2 on Paramount+. How many episodes of Landman season 2 will there be? There will be 10 episodes of Landman season 2 in total, the same number as in season 1. Thankfully for fans, it seems there is still plenty of scope for the show to continue beyond this in future seasons. Ainsley star Michelle Randolph told The Hollywood Reporter: "There’s so many stories to tell. There’s so many really distinct characters, I feel like we could go on and on and on because what I always have to remind myself – the first season was 10 days in the show so I’m like, we could film the show for so long because it’s not like it’s one season, taking place over a year or anything. "There’s so much room for growth in every single character; they’re all deeply flawed in their own ways, which is what makes them really enticing to watch because it’s very human." Landman season 2 release schedule – When are new episodes out? New episodes of Landman will arrive on Paramount+ every Sunday, starting on 16th November 2025. This means the second run will continue right through the festive season, with the finale arriving on Sunday 18th January 2026. You can find the full release schedule for Landman season 2 below.

Jill Halfpenny's "gripping" new psychological drama gets its release date confirmed with tense first look
Girl Taken will arrive on Paramount+ at the start of next year.
Jill Halfpenny's new Paramount+ thriller Girl Taken, which was previously announced as Baby Doll, is just around the corner, with the release date for the series now having been confirmed. The six-part series will debut on 8th January 2026, and to go along with the announcement Paramount has also released a host of first-look images. The images introduce us to Jill Halfpenny's Eve, as well as her daughters Lily and Abby, played by Tallulah and Delphi Evans, and Alfie Allen as teacher - plus abductor and abuser - Rick Hansen. The series, which has been based on the novel Baby Doll by Hollie Overton, follows the story of twin sisters Lily and Abby, the former of whom is abducted from their quiet rural English town by beloved local teacher Rick. The synopsis for the series says: "After years of abuse in captivity, Lily escapes - only to discover that freedom brings its own challenges. The world she longed to return to has moved on without her. "As Abby, Lily and their mother Eve struggle to rebuild their family, they must confront the lasting damage and the terrifying reality that Rick is still out there, determined to control the narrative and evade justice. Raw and emotionally charged, Girl Taken is a gripping exploration of trauma, resilience, sisterhood, and the high cost of reclaiming one’s life." As well as Halfpenny, Allen and Tallulah and Delphi Evans, the series will also star Vikash Bhai (Virdee), Niamh Walsh (Smother), Levi Brown (This Town), Victoria Ekanoye (The Turkish Detective), Holly Atkins (MobLand) and Kiran Krishnakumar (What it Feels Like For a Girl).

Paramount Plus brings series and movies from US television channels straight to your living room.
Paramount Plus has launched two new subscription tiers in the UK and Ireland, with its basic (with ads) and premium plans joining the standard tier. The streamer said the move comes as "part of the ongoing strategy to offer customers a choice of pricing options to enjoy its vast 'Mountain of Entertainment'". It added: "The new price structure for the UK and Ireland will create a great value entry point to allow more fans to access the platform and – with the launch of the premium plan – provide enhanced video quality, such as 4K UHD and streaming, on up to four devices at once." Paramount Plus isn't the first streamer to offer an ad-supported tier, with the likes of Netflix and Disney Plus already offering options that pepper your shows with ads to help you save a few pounds.

South Park season 28 release schedule: How to watch new episodes in the UK
New season, same madness – here's when to expect the next chapter.
South Park season 28 is in full swing, and the latest instalment continued this season's political themes with an episode tackling Thanksgiving. The episode, titled Turkey Trot, took aim at Saudi Arabian sponsorship, as well as United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone recently confirmed that the show's shift towards political satire this season was not planned, but that “politics became pop culture”. Speaking to The New York Times, Parker said: "We’re just very down-the-middle guys. Any extremists of any kind, we make fun of. We did it for years with the woke thing. That was hilarious to us. And this is hilarious to us." Wondering when the next episode is set to be released? Read on to stay on top of the South Park release schedule and ensure you won’t miss a moment of the increasingly unhinged storylines.

But barring any more unexpected changes, we'd expect South Park season 28 to consist of five episodes in total.

Tulsa King season 4 release date speculation and latest news
Is the Sylvester Stallone drama returning for more?
Paramount Plus drama Tulsa King has now completed its third season, with the final episode laying the groundwork for more episodes. Well, it's a good thing then that the series has already been renewed for a fourth season – but there seems to be plenty of changes afoot behind-the-scenes of the Taylor Sheridan drama. It's already been announced that season 3 showrunner Dave Erickson is exiting the show, with Erickson also stepping down from showrunner duties on spin-off series NOLA King to primarily focus on helming Mayor of Kingstown. It's also recently been revealed that 26 crew members of Tulsa King‘s 600-member crew have been asked not to return for season 4. According to Deadline, "most, if not all, are expected to be replaced". But when will the fourth season of Tulsa King be released? Read on to find out everything we know so far. Will there be a Tulsa King season 4? Yes! Tulsa King was renewed for a fourth season back in September ahead of season 3's premiere. The renewal news was a natural next step for the drama, especially seeing as the season 2 premiere went on to be Paramount Plus’s most watched global premiere at the time, with 21.1 million viewers for the first episode. Tulsa King season 4 release date speculation As for a season 4 release date, one has not yet been announced. Seeing as the seasons of Tulsa King have stuck to the regular pattern of being released each year, we would anticipate a September 2026 release for season 4. We'd imagine that even with some drastic changes going on behind the scenes of the production, it has only stuck to its quick turnaround and so, wouldn't imagine that there will be any delays in the pipeline. However, with the release of NOLA King yet to also be confirmed, we could imagine that the two series will need to work around each other in terms of scheduling. It could perhaps be the case that NOLA King may be released first, with Tulsa King season 4 set to come soon after but it remains to be seen. Tulsa King season 4 cast: Who will star? Sylvester Stallone previously signed a contract confirming his leading role in both seasons 3 and 4 so we can expect the leading man to return. As for other faces returning to the cast for the fourth season, we'd expect plenty of returning faces but as of now, nothing has been confirmed. Meanwhile, Boardwalk Empire star Gretchen Mol has been cast in the new series regular role of a Tulsa politician named Amanda Clark, according to Deadline. The Tulsa King cast we'd expect to return for season 4 is as follows. Sylvester Stallone as Dwight 'The General' Manfredi Martin Starr as Bodhi Jay Will as Tyson Annabella Sciorra as Joanne Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher Robert Patrick as Jeremiah Dunmire Beau Knapp as Cole Dunmire Bella Heathcote as Cleo Montagu Chris Caldovino as Goodie McKenna Quigley Harrington Mike "Cash Flo" Walden Kevin Pollak as Special Agent Musso Vincent Piazza as Vince Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua Michael Beach as Mark James Russo as Ray Renzetti Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller Dana Delany as Margaret Devereaux What could happen in Tulsa King season 4? Season 3 of Tulsa King saw Dwight's empire continuing to expand, with his pool of enemies only growing wider. Of course, that also meant threats being made to his crew which put everyone in a more precarious position than ever. The Dunmires only continued to be a thorn in Dwight's side, with Jeremiah – the head of the Dixie mafia – becoming the main problem and squaring up to Dwight in more ways than one. As for how that may manifest in a fourth season of Tulsa King, we can anticipate that the season will either continue dealing with the tensions between Dwight and the Dunmires or, like with previous seasons, see the mafia captain facing some new adversaries entirely. Is there a trailer for Tulsa King season 4? No! Seeing as production for Tulsa King season 4 has just kicked off, there aren't any trailers to enjoy just yet. However, you can rewatch the trailer for season 3 below. View oEmbed on the source website Tulsa King is available to stream on Paramount+ - sign up for Paramount Plus+.

Iconic '90s sitcom receives first look at 30th anniversary reunion special as cast unites to celebrate
The special will air on CBS and Paramount+ later this month.
CBS has revealed a first look at the new Everybody Loves Raymond reunion special. The special, which will see the cast reunite to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the popular sitcom, will air on CBS on 24th November at 8pm, as well as becoming available to stream on Paramount+. Hosted by star Ray Romano and series creator Phil Rosenthal, the anniversary special will feature appearances from cast members Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten, Sullivan Sweeten and more. The cast will share memories of their favourite episodes from the Barone living room, as well as audition stories and other behind the scenes information from the popular sitcom. The special will also include a tribute to late cast members Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle, who played Raymond’s crotchety parents, Marie and Frank Barone. Everybody Loves Raymond, which starred Romano and Garrett as brothers often at odds with one another, ran for 210 episodes between 1996 and 2005 before being remade for numerous international markets. In the UK, it aired on the weekday breakfast slot on Channel 4. View oEmbed on the source website Romano previously shut down the possibility of an Everybody Loves Raymond reboot. Speaking on an episode of HBO‘s Real Time With Bill Maher (via Variety) back in 2023, Romano said: “As far as a reboot, well it’s out now of the question because unfortunately the parents are gone: Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts.” Besides the absence of Boyle and Roberts, Romano also said he was against the idea of a reboot because “they’re never as good. We want to leave with our legacy as what it is”. He continued: “The rest of the cast was happy to go on, but myself and Phil Rosenthal — who ran the show — we wanted it to end in season 8, because we just felt it, we felt it [was] time.” Everybody Loves Raymond is available to watch on Channel 4 in the UK and Paramount+ in the US.

Landman season 2 episode 1 just foreshadowed a big fan prediction for Tommy and Cooper's relationship
The family tension is ramping up in the sophomore season of Taylor Sheridan’s oil industry series.
Warning: Contains spoilers for Landman season 2 episode 1. Taylor Sheridan is a busy man. When he’s not playing with his cowboy kingdom in the Yellowstone TV franchise, he's still crafting enthralling, soap opera-style drama series like Landman, where greed, power plays, and twists and turns remain the order of the day. Fans turned out in their droves for the first season of the show, making it the most-watched original series on Paramount. A whopping 35 million viewers tuned into the premiere, and the season 1 finale was record-breaking, too. So, when the Landman season 2 release date was finally announced, it’s not surprising that ardent fans were cooking up theories as to how the next 10 episodes would shape both Tommy Norris and his relationship with his son, Cooper. In season 1, we saw Cooper go his own way after the fallout of the M-Tex explosion, acquiring small patches of land that he hoped would make him a pretty penny. His eventual goal is to keep buying and selling oil-rich land to earn enough money to purchase the coveted Wolfcamp oil shale. What felt like a pipe dream is quickly becoming a reality, though. In the season 2 premiere, we see Cooper’s well strike gold, making him a very rich man in the process. With an estimated 6,200 units of oil flowing through his land, Cooper claims this well will “pay for itself within two months”. In fact, it’s so lucrative that he can earn $29,000 a day, or $880,000 a month. That’s a whopping $10 million a year, and this is only the first of many wells he plans to drill. And this is where episode 1 plants the seed for a major clash between Tommy and Cooper, with his newfound wealth putting him on a direct collision course with M-Tex, and by extension, his father. Read more: Landman star Jon Hamm confirms Monty Miller's fate after emotional finale Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm: 'Without streaming, actors like us would just play the mayor in Batman' Over on Reddit, Landman fans have been trying to predict what will happen in season 2, and a popular theory is that Cooper and Tommy will end up as business rivals. One fan wrote: “I feel like Cooper and Tommy will eventually be competing since they will likely be using the same methods of drilling.” Another added: “M-Tex won't have the money to buy up Cooper’s growing land, so Cooper sells to the top competitor,” while a third user thinks we’ll see a “Cooper vs. Tommy oil king battle” play out this season. And episode 1 does appear to back this theory up... It not only shows Cooper stepping into the big leagues, he's also doing so without the help of M-Tex or his father, who he's clearly not shy about going up against. Of course, it could be that Tommy and M-Tex do manage to buy Cooper out and the Norris family will become even richer and live happily ever after. It would be far more interesting for Cooper to turn to M-Tex’s big competitors, TTP instead, though. He’s already got a grudge against M-Tex after the way they treated the victims of the explosion at the start of season 1, so it figures he would be keen to spite his former employers now. It might start an epic oil war in Midland, but that’s exactly the kind of drama Taylor Sheridan lives for. Landman season 2 is streaming on Paramount+ with new episodes arriving on Sundays. Season 1 is available to stream now. Get a seven day free Paramount Plus trial at Amazon Prime Video.

Landman season 2: Release date and latest news
When will Taylor Sheridan's series be back on Paramount Plus?
*Warning – contains spoilers all episodes of Landman season 1* Taylor Sheridan's TV empire continues to expand, and as fans wait for the next season of his show Lioness, as well as the many Yellowstone spin-offs in the works, they can first look forward to the return of his hit drama Landman. The series, which stars Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore, is almost back for season 2, a year after the first season debuted. This time around, Jon Hamm's character Monty is out of the picture after he met his end in the season 1 finale, meaning Moore's character Cami is stepping up. Thornton has teased how her new role at the top of M-Tex oil will affect his character, Tommy, telling Deadline: "Since she doesn’t really know the oil business that well, I’m there with her to show her how these people operate. "You can know something intellectually but what are the street smarts behind it? I know how to deal with these people she’s going to have to deal with. I just tell her, 'Look, some of these deals you can take but when it gets really weird and difficult, let me know because I know these guys.'" Thornton said this piles on the pressure for Tommy, explaining: "He goes from having a job that’s really difficult and a job that’s very dangerous to having two. Now I’m kind of executive and a landman and a family man in the midst of this tornado. It makes for some pretty interesting stuff I have to say." Meanwhile, Ainsley star Michelle Randolph has recently teased that this second season might not be the end for the drama, telling The Hollywood Reporter that there is plenty of scope for future. episodes. "There’s so many stories to tell," she said. "There’s so many really distinct characters, I feel like we could go on and on and on because what I always have to remind myself - the first season was 10 days in the show so I’m like, we could film the show for so long because it’s not like it’s one season, taking place over a year or anything. "There’s so much room for growth in every single character; they’re all deeply flawed in their own ways, which is what makes them really enticing to watch because it’s very human." But exactly when will fans be able to start watching Landman season 2? Read on to find out. Will there be a Landman season 2? There will! It was first reported by Variety in March 2025 that the show had been renewed for a second season on Paramount Plus. At the time of renewal, Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Media Networks, said in a statement: "Landman was one of the biggest shows of the year because of Taylor Sheridan’s unique ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, harnessing the Neo-western themes of rugged individualism, ambition and working-class struggles set against contemporary debates around energy, climate change and economic growth. "The series has helped drive Paramount+ to new heights as the #2 SVOD in the US for Original Hours Watched in Q4, alongside our other hit series Tulsa King, The Agency, Lioness and Dexter: Original Sin." The renewal shouldn't be a surprise. Not only was the show a ratings success, but the creative team behind the programme have long stated that they were hoping for more episodes. Speaking with The Direct, co-creator Christian Wallace previously said: "As long as there are stories to tell, I would love to keep telling them. And I think we really just skinned the surface on our first season, and that's saying something because they cover a lot of ground. So yeah, I hope we keep telling these stories for a while." Meanwhile, some cast members expressed their expectation that the show would be returning, with Demi Moore telling Deadline back in May 2024: "I’ve already completed the first season and I’m excited for us to start the second, which will be at the beginning of next year." Jacob Lofland also told ScreenRant that while he "can't say yay or nay, and I have no idea", he does "hope, more than anything, that we go back to working as quick as we can on it, because it's a blast, and I love making it, and I think this story needs to be told, and I think people are going to love it". Of his character's progression, Lofland said he would "hope to see Cooper become the young man that he's aspiring to be, and kind of step out of boyhood". Meanwhile, Paulina Chávez told ScreenRant that she hadn't heard anything about the show's future, but that she wants "to stay optimistic". "Billy Bob Thornton got nominated for a Golden Globe for the show," Chávez added, "so, I mean, I don't know, fingers crossed". When will Landman season 2 be released on Paramount Plus? Landman season 2 will actually be arriving fairly promptly after the first season, with just a year's turn-around between the two. Season 2 will officially start streaming weekly on Paramount Plus from Sunday 16th November 2025, with the run expected to last through until mid-January.

Line of Duty favourite's "darkly comic" new series sets release date – and it's only weeks away
Martin Compston leads the cast alongside Slow Horses and Luther star Aimée-Ffion Edwards.
While we all patiently wait for the BBC to officially confirm that Line of Duty is returning, Martin Compston's latest show The Revenge Club is set for release on Paramount+. Compston leads the "darkly comic" six-parter – which is based on JD Pennington's The Othello Club – alongside Slow Horses and Luther's Aimée-Ffion Edwards. The pair play "hapless strangers brought together by a divorce support group, each reeling from betrayal and heartbreak". Calum and Emily don't have much in common beyond their "emotional baggage," but that doesn't stop them from forming "an unlikely bond and coming up with a wildly misguided idea: to take revenge on the people who broke their hearts". Before long, their "retribution" – initially "petty pranks" – turns sinister as "the line between justice and madness begins to blur," resulting in "deadly accidents". "What if getting even felt better than falling in love?" continues the synopsis for the revenge thriller, which will be available to stream from 12th December. Alongside Compston and Edwards, the cast also includes Meera Syal (Mrs Sidhu Investigates, The Kumars at No 42), Sharon Rooney (Barbie, Daddy Issues, Jerk), Douglas Henshall (Shetland, Who Is Erin Carter?), Chaneil Kular (Sex Education, Accused) and Amit Shah (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Happy Valley).

Gabbie Asher, who co-wrote Prime Video psychological thriller The Girlfriend has penned the script alongside The Split's Matt Jones and Lupin's Adam Usden. It is directed by Tim Kirkby, whose credits include Fleabag, and Daniel O’Hara, whose work includes Stay Close. The Revenge Club comes to Paramount Plus on 12th December.

BAFTA winner Lennie James calls out issues of the current Trump era and why we need working class voices
He’s a major star on both sides of the pond and has won awards for writing and acting – so what’s next?
This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. British writer, actor and director Lennie James has just turned 60 and splits his life between the UK and the USA. He wrote and starred in the dramas Save Me and Save Me Too, he was corrupt DCI Tony Gates in Line of Duty and in May this year he won a Bafta for his performance as Barry Walker in Mr Loverman. In the USA he was Morgan Jones in The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, and in his latest role he is crime lord Frank Moses in Mayor of Kingstown, an American drama set in a community whose fortunes are entwined with those of the prisons that surround it. So what’s it like living the American dream? You have lived in America for a while now. What do you find are the cultural differences between the USA and the UK? We are two countries separated by a common language. There are similarities between Britain and America, but to almost every situation add race, add guns. Those two things define the cultural differences between our two countries. That, and size! Mayor of Kingstown is about private prisons. Was that a strange concept to wrap your head around as a Brit? It’s one that’s scary. Prisons can be big business. That means that they need prisoners. And in order to have prisoners, that affects the way that people are sentenced, and it affects who is being sentenced. Under this current administration, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out who is going to be populating the prisons and feeding that particular industry. Have you felt the difference in the past few years since Donald Trump became president again? It’s noticeable, particularly if you’re a black or brown person, a member of the LGBTQ+ community or a woman. It’s noticeable how quickly and systematically the advances that have been made are being eradicated. It’s obvious what’s going on and how someone who looks like me would feel about it. In Mayor of Kingstown you play erudite gangster Frank Moses. What attracted you to the role? I’m now looking for work that challenges me, that maybe scares me and isn’t what people expect. And this character intrigued me. I wanted to make him genial and apparently unthreatening. It was a huge amount of fun to play that juxtaposition. You won a Bafta for Mr Loverman earlier this year. How have you found the reaction to that show? There’s something particular about how people have reacted when they stop me for Mr Loverman. There is a sense that people want to say more but can’t say more. On a number of occasions I’ve tried to speak further with them and they have said, “No, I just wanted to say thank you, shake your hand and go on my way.” That always knocks me for six. A million things are said in a three-sentence exchange. And then you part ways. Are there still more opportunities for black British actors in the United States than there are in the UK? I went to LA in 2005 and there were more options, but within the context that there were more options for everyone. I’m not denying that there are limitations here for black actors. But equal to it, I felt I was doing what lots of actors were doing from all over the world: French actors, Scandi actors, South-Asian actors. Everybody was there for the same reason – because there were more options. You were 10 when you mother died, which led to you and your brother growing up in care in south London. Is it becoming harder for someone from that kind of background to break into acting? This life wasn’t a dream of mine when I was a kid. I didn’t know it was something I could dream about. The opportunities that presented themselves are what made it possible. At the moment, it seems like those doors have been pushed further closed. And I think there should be a concerted effort to reopen them. We risk losing the working-class perspective. And I think that the idea that you don’t have to make an effort to preserve the voices of the working class is criminal. You wrote 2018 drama Save Me, which felt particularly evocative in its portrayal of council estate life. What do you think TV gets wrong when telling stories about the working class? I hate it when they patronise us, caricature us, over-sentimentalise us. They get the moral compass and belief system of working-class life wrong. It’s often a story about people who hate where they’re at, but more often than not, it’s people who want better for themselves but are making the best of where they are. That’s a big difference. Some stories feel like they’re on safari. They have no core. In the past, you mentored kids with similar backgrounds to you. Do you still do that? I’m not in the same location enough at the moment to do it properly. You have to commit to being consistent. I do mentor people within my industry, particularly younger black male actors. I teach them: “How do you argue your corner without scaring people?” without the bass in your voice scaring white people, basically! And on the other side of that, how to navigate success. Some of it has taken me longer to learn than it should have. Do you have any career ambitions unfulfilled? There are parts I want to play. There are things I’d like to do. I don’t want to jinx them! One thing I can say out loud is that I’d like to write and direct a film. There’s a story that I want to tell, as a director. I just have to write it. Writing is far harder than acting. I love rewriting! But the blank page? It’s a regret of mine that I have yet to get over my fear of it. The latest issue of Radio Times is out now – subscribe here.

Will there be a NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2?
What does the future hold for one of the franchise's most popular couples?
NCIS: Tony & Ziva has triumphantly returned two of the franchise's most popular characters to the screen, picking up with the couple as their new life in Europe is disrupted by a new threat. Stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo first stepped into these roles for the original NCIS series two decades ago, yet the latter has hinted that this new era for Tony and Ziva might only be getting started. Despite initial murmurs that this reunion could be a one-time special event, both actors have now suggested that they would be more than willing to work on multiple seasons of NCIS: Tony & Ziva. That means that the main factor deciding the show's future is likely to be its viewership ratings, with more shows than ever competing for people's attention in the streaming age. Can a legacy brand like NCIS still hold its own? Maybe so, judging by the success of its other recent spin-offs! For now, here's everything we know about the status and possible future of NCIS: Tony & Ziva. Will there be a NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2? Paramount is yet to confirm whether NCIS spin-off Tony & Ziva will return for a second season, but there's reason to be optimistic about the future of the series. For one thing, NCIS is one of the studio's most popular and enduring television franchises, with the original series still going strong in its 23rd season, while Aussie spin-off Sydney and prequel series Origins have also scored renewals. Tony & Ziva co-star Cote de Pablo, who first appeared as the latter character in 2005, told Collider that she had "so much fun" revisiting the couple after a long absence from the world of NCIS. "Where this goes, we know not," she continued. "All we know is that we had to do this. Michael and I felt we owed it to the fans. And so we're really happy about this just being able to happen... If we got a chance to do it again, we'd be thrilled." When could a potential NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2 be released? If NCIS: Tony & Ziva were to be renewed for a second season on Paramount Plus, the series could quite plausibly follow the year-long production cycle common of other entries in the franchise. That would point to a launch for a possible Tony & Ziva season 2 in autumn or winter 2026, although that's just speculation for the time being – we'll update this page once any new details emerge. Who could star in a potential NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2? If NCIS: Tony & Ziva does return for season 2, it goes without saying that series stars Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo would reprise the title roles of Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David. The show could also feature cameos from other figures in the wider NCIS franchise, with Weatherly telling Collider that an appearance from original star Mark Harmon would be his "No. 1 favourite thing" to request if the show moves forward. He continued: "It's such a cool universe that we've created. It's outside of the procedural domain. "Deeks [Eric Christian Olsen] and Kensi [Daniela Ruah, of NCIS: Los Angeles] could pop up, Sam Hanna [LL Cool J] could pop up, or our lovable 'Probie': Timmy McGee [Sean Murray, of NCIS]." Here's a reminder of the key players in Tony & Ziva season 1: Michael Weatherly as Anthony DiNozzo Cote de Pablo as Ziva David Isla Gie as Tali DiNozzo Olivia Brody as Young Tali Amita Suman as Claudette Caron Lara Rossi as Sophie Summers Maximilian Osinski as Boris Peskov Anne-Marie Waldeck as Fruzsi Gortva Julian Ovenden as Jonah Markham James D'Arcy as Henry Rayner-Hunt Nassima Benchicou as Martine Aranow Terence Maynard as Dr Lang Emmanuel Bonami as Pierre Galimard Sean Pertwee as Aaron Graves What could happen in a potential NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2? With NCIS: Tony & Ziva season 2 not yet confirmed, we can only speculate as to what the next chapter could look like, but co-star Cote de Pablo has offered one potential avenue to explore. The actor told ScreenRant that she'd be interested in seeing the show move to a different part of the world, if a second season is ordered for Paramount Plus. "Right now, obviously the show's taking place in Europe, because the characters are living, and they've made a life, in Europe, but I have no idea where the story may take them," she began. "We've joked around, we could be in Asia. We could be exploring different continents, even," continued de Pablo, who also acknowledged the possibility of returning Tony and Ziva to Washington DC, where their fates entwined. Is there a trailer for a potential Tony & Ziva season 2? Not yet – we'll update this page if any new footage drops. NCIS: Tony & Ziva is available to stream on Paramount Plus.

Yellowstone spin-off casts Ozark and Narcos actors alongside original series stars
A host of new additions join an already starry line-up for the successor series.
Yellowstone spin-off The Dutton Ranch has expanded its cast with some notable new additions, as the Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) centric project continues filming in Texas. The series will follow the husband-and-wife in a new chapter of their lives, following the chaotic events of Yellowstone season 5, which brought the series to a close in December of last year. The synopsis, courtesy of Paramount, notes that the couple "are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch", but "tough times and stiff competition" lie ahead of them. "Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter [played by Yellowstone returnee Finn Little] becomes the man he's supposed to be." Joining the next chapter in Taylor Sheridan's western saga are four actors in intriguing new roles, who you might be familiar with from past roles in prestige American drama. Natalie Alyn Lind of The Goldbergs fame has been cast as free-spirited young woman Oreana, although there are no details just yet on exactly how her path leads to the Dutton ranch. Marc Menchaca, on the other hand, will be playing recently released convict Zachariah, who steps onto the Dutton property hoping for a fresh start as a cowboy and wrangler. The actor previously played Russ Langmore on Netflix's suspenseful crime thriller Ozark, while more recently he appeared as the twisted Red Schmidt aka The Dark Passenger in Dexter: Resurrection. Echo 3, Narcos and Agents of SHIELD alum Juan Pablo Raba will appear as experienced ranch worker Joaquin, who is renowned for being able to solve problems of all sizes – although in the wild world of Yellowstone that could have worrying implications. Last but not least, JR Villarreal is set to play Azul, the trusted right-hand man to Hauser's Rip; his past work includes fellow Taylor Sheridan/Paramount drama Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton. Last month, the series announced some high-profile castings, including screen legends Ed Harris (Westworld) and Annette Bening (Apples Never Fall), plus Suicide Squad and American Primeval star Jai Courtney. Bening's role is currently being kept under wraps, but Variety reports that Harris will play a good-humoured veterinarian named Everett McKinney, while Courtney is set to appear as an "imposing" ranch foreman. The Dutton Ranch is currently filming, with a premiere expected to be scheduled sometime next year. The Dutton Ranch is coming soon to Paramount Plus.

Long-awaited Star Trek series finally confirms release date – and there's not long to wait
Fans of Star Trek: Discovery may have a new favourite show on their hands.
A long-awaited entry in the small-screen Star Trek franchise is coming to Paramount Plus early next year, with Holly Hunter leading the cast of a dramatic new trailer. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been quietly taking shape over many years, with word of the project first making headlines all the way back in 2018. Since then, the series has evolved substantially, with original developers Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz (of Gossip Girl fame) jumping ship, leaving Absentia screenwriter Gaia Violo to rebuild and complete the series from the ground up. All that work is now coming to fruition, with Star Trek: Starfleet Academy confirmed to be getting a double-bill premiere on Paramount Plus on Thursday 15th January 2026 – just three months from now. The trailer dropped at this weekend's New York Comic-Con (NYCC), revealing a story that puts a distinctly Star Trek lick of paint over some familiar teen-skewing coming-of-age themes. View oEmbed on the source website Somewhat predictably, this approach has attracted some backlash from advocates of the classic Star Trek style, encapsulated by such cult entries as The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. The show could instead be considered a spiritual successor to Star Trek: Discovery, sharing its heightened melodrama and a few of its characters, including Tig Notaro's Jett Reno, Oded Fehr's Admiral Vance and Mary Wiseman's Sylvia Tilly. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy also returns Voyager and Prodigy's Robert Picardo to the franchise, while adding high-profile names like Holly Hunter (The Incredibles), Paul Giamatti (Downton Abbey) and Tatiana Maslany (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law). During an NYCC presentation, former late night host Stephen Colbert was also announced for the series, playing a voice-only role as the Dean of Starfleet Academy. View oEmbed on the source website The official synopsis explains that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy "follows a fresh class of cadets as they train under the watchful, demanding eyes of Starfleet's finest". It continues: "Together, they'll face the highs and lows of academy life: forging unbreakable friendships, clashing in explosive rivalries, experiencing first loves, and stepping into their destiny as the next generation of Starfleet officers. "When a mysterious new enemy threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself, these cadets must rise to the challenge or risk losing everything they’ve just begun to fight for." Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is coming to Paramount Plus in January 2026.

South Park season 27 release schedule: How to watch new episodes in the UK
The animated series is taking a different approach to its latest run.
Let me save you some time: No, there's no new episode of South Park this week. But don't be alarmed! The 27th season of the animated series might well be ruffling feathers, but it hasn't been pulled off air in response to any of its controversial gags and commentary. Instead, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with their wider team, are simply taking extra time to consider how best to satirise an increasingly strange and unpredictable world. Hopefully, this means we have some hilarious moments to look forward to, but in the short term, we're all going to have to be patient as they rustle up their next wonderfully warped instalment. If you're intrigued to see what madness awaits, read on for details on when the next episode of South Park season 27 will drop, and the full release schedule for the latest run. Or, if you're feeling nostalgic, check out our verdict on the best South Park episodes of all time. When is South Park season 27 episode 6 released? South Park season 27 episode 6 will air at 10pm on Thursday 16th October 2025 on Comedy Central UK – only one day later than the US premiere. Alternatively, South Park season 27 episodes head straight to Paramount+ shortly after their television broadcast, for those who'd rather stream at their own pace. There are now three weeks separating episodes 5 and 6, after the former suffered a week-long delay announced on the day that it had initially been due to premiere. Here's hoping that the long-running series can rediscover its regular rhythm again in the weeks to come. How many episodes are in South Park season 27? South Park season 27 will consist of 10 episodes in total. This makes it the longest run since season 23, which aired back in 2019. South Park season 27 release schedule Following the delay to the fifth episode of season 27, the show is set to return to its fortnightly schedule after the next episode. The current projected air dates for South Park season 27 are as follows, although these are subject to further change as the creators scramble to keep up with the modern news cycle. We'll update this page on the latest as any new developments come in.

The extensive South Park back catalogue is available to stream in its entirety on Paramount Plus, which you can also get as an added channel through Prime Video. Earlier in July, all 316 episodes had briefly been removed from the streaming platform everywhere except the US due to a licensing issue – but fortunately a compromise was reached and they were later restored to the platform.

Dexter: Resurrection future confirmed after prequel spin-off series axed after one season
It's been a rollercoaster ride for Dexter fans of late. First, they heard that prequel series Dexter: Original Sin had been renewed for a second season, only for the show to subsequently be cancelled before that could enter production. Since then, fans have been waiting for news on the future of sequel series Dexter: Resurrection – and, finally, they can breathe a sigh of relief. That is because Dexter: Resurrection has officially been renewed for a second season, with Michael C Hall returning as the iconic character, and Clyde Phillips acting as showrunner. The writers' room for season 2 is now open, and the news was announced by Hall in a video posted to social media, which you can watch below.

First of all, I just want to thank all the fans for tuning in and taking the Dexter: Resurrection ride with us this summer. Hope you enjoyed it. "And, secondly, we've been greenlit for another season. There's more to come. The writers' room is assembling now and details will be forthcoming, but I wanted to be the first to let you know that the story continues." The first season of Dexter: Resurrection followed up on Dexter: New Blood, and saw the title character reuniting with his son Harrison, and facing off against some new foes. The cast of season 1 included Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, David Dastmalchian and Krysten Ritter, while there were also some surprise returns for fan favourite characters from the original series. Now, here's just hoping this renewal gets a little further down the road than Original Sin's did. Dexter: Resurrection is available to stream on Paramount Plus.

Yellowstone's Ryan star Ian Bohen will be appearing in Lioness season 3.
As Taylor Sheridan continues to dominate Paramount Plus's programming with his suite of hit shows, one fan-favourite actor is jumping from one of his beloved series to another.

Dexter: Original Sin creator speaks out on show's shock cancellation – and he's not happy about it
"It wasn’t handled well and I’m not happy about it.”
Dexter: Original Sin creator Clyde Phillips has opened up about the show's shock cancellation, saying “it wasn’t handled well”. The show, which is a prequel to the original Dexter series, was cancelled back in August 2025 just months after it had been officially renewed by Paramount. Speaking on the Dissecting Dexter podcast about Dexter: Resurrection's recent finale, Phillips said he was unhappy with the way the prequel’s cancellation had been handled, given that he’d already informed the actors and writers they’d be coming back for the show. “It was a tough phone call I got that night where they had already picked up the show," he said. He added: "I had informed all the writers and actors, and then they unpicked it up, all while picking up Resurrection, which was no surprise. It wasn’t handled well and I’m not happy about it.” The cancellation of the second season of Original Sin came shortly after the closing of Paramount’s merger with Skydance. Variety reported at the time that new leadership had come in and decided to re-evaluate the company’s slate, leading them to choose to scrap Original Sin and focus instead on Dexter: Resurrection season 2 to continue the franchise. Phillips noted on the podcast that prior to the Skydance merger, the studio wanted to transform Dexter into a Yellowstone-style franchise, with the idea being that Phillips would take on the same responsibilities that Taylor Sheridan does for Yellowstone and the bigger franchise that spawned from it. As a result, Phillips had plotted out a big future for the franchise, but all of that now appears to have been scrapped. However, it seems the plan is still to go ahead with more seasons of Dexter: Resurrection, which should ease some fans’ concerns about the future of the franchise. Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter: Resurrection are available to stream on Paramount Plus.

Tulsa King season 3: Release date and latest news
What's next for The General? ***MAJOR TULSA KING SEASON 2 SPOILERS AHEAD***
Major Tulsa King season 2 spoilers ahead. The Tulsa King has weathered more than a few storms in his time – and there was yet another one brewing ahead of season 3. Just when it looked like everything was finally falling into place, Sylvester Stallone's Dwight was kidnapped at gunpoint in the middle of the night in the final moments of the previous chapter, before he was then informed that he now worked for whoever said antagonists were. But if history has taught us anything, our money's on The General – particularly given that the show was recently renewed for season 4, with sources also indicating to Deadline that Tulsa King could continue on past that, possibly reaching six seasons. But we're getting ahead of ourselves... For now, it's all eyes on season 3. Read on for everything you need to know, from when you can watch it, to who Sly is up against in the upcoming episodes. Tulsa King season 3 release date: When will it air? Season 3 will premiere on Paramount Plus on Sunday 21st September. There are ten episodes in total, which will air weekly. Tulsa King season 3 cast: Who stars? The cast for season 3 is as follows: Sylvester Stallone as Dwight 'The General' Manfredi Martin Starr as Bodhi Jay Will as Tyson Annabella Sciorra as Joanne Neal McDonough as Cal Thresher Robert Patrick as Jeremiah Dunmire Beau Knapp as Cole Dunmire Bella Heathcote as Cleo Montagu Chris Caldovino as Goodie McKenna Quigley Harrington Mike "Cash Flo" Walden Kevin Pollak as Special Agent Musso Vincent Piazza as Vince Frank Grillo as Bill Bevilaqua Michael Beach as Mark James Russo as Ray Renzetti Garrett Hedlund as Mitch Keller Dana Delany as Margaret Devereaux And in huge news, Samuel L Jackson will also appear as new character Russell Lee Washington Jr, who is also set to star in Tulsa King spin-off NOLA King, which will air in 2026. "NOLA King follows Russell Lee Washington Jr (Jackson), who, after befriending Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) during a 10-year stint in federal prison, is sent to Tulsa by New York’s Renzetti crime family to take Dwight out once and for all," reads the official synopsis. "Inspired by what Dwight created in Tulsa and impressed with the possibilities of second chances, Washington returns to New Orleans, the home he abandoned 40 years ago, to rekindle his relationship with his family, friends, and to take control of the city he left behind. "In so doing, he incurs the wrath of his former employers in New York, and makes himself vulnerable to old NOLA foes, both criminal and cop." Tulsa King season 3 plot: What will happen? <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2025/09/Tulsa-King-S3-634ef9b.jpg" width="6000" height="4000" alt="Three men stand in an elevator.

To his left stands a man in a gray checkered suit with braided hair, while on his right is a tall man with long blond hair, wearing a black patterned shirt and carrying a holstered gun. The elevator walls are wooden with brass handles." title="Tulsa King" /> Season 2 saw most of Dwight's enemies, including Chickie and Jackie Ming, meet grisly ends. Before Chickie was murdered by Bevilaqua in the season 2 finale, he was already on the back foot after Vince had "moved him aside" and brought the organisation under "new management". New York wanted what Dwight had built in Oklahoma, and Chickie was ordered to travel there and order encourage Dwight to return with him to the Big Apple. But when The General said no, Chickie adamantly refused to leave without him and turned to the man who would eventually end his life to hash out a plan. The pair of them then paid Dwight a visit with the proposal of creating a franchise based on his own enterprise, which had recently expanded after The General took Cal's business from him. But their conversation was cut short when Bevilaqua put a bullet in Chickie, which in turn earned him 50 per cent of Dwight's firm. "You earned it," he added. But despite Dwight's efforts to run a legitimate operation and keep the feds off his back, DC has requested everything Oklahoma law enforcement has on him, which would have been concern enough. It's what happened next, however, which shifted the narrative landscape. In the middle of the night, figures dressed in black and brandishing firearms abducted Dwight and declared that he now worked for them – teeing up an explosive third chapter. The official logline is as follows: "In season 3, as Dwight's empire expands, so do his enemies – and the risks to his crew. "Now, he faces his most dangerous adversaries in Tulsa yet: the Dunmires, a powerful old-money family that doesn’t play by old-world rules, forcing Dwight to fight for everything he’s built and protect his family."

Star Trek legend gives verdict on major relationship mystery teased in Picard season 3 finale
There are a few interpretations of one particular scene.
Star Trek legend Gates McFadden has opened up about how Picard season 3 ended, giving her take on a scene that prompted a lot of discussion among fans. The final episode of the Patrick Stewart-fronted series saw the healing of Jean-Luc Picard's relationship with his son Jack Crusher (who he shares with McFadden's Beverly Crusher). The end of the episode saw the three of them reunite – but, considering Picard and Beverly's romantic history, starting in The Next Generation, fans have wondered whether that scene was intended to hint that the pair of them were together. Giving her take, McFadden said she believes it was "meant to be left unclear". Speaking at Creation’s Trek to New Jersey convention (via TrekMovie.com), she referenced an idea Stewart had for the scene that never made the cut, saying: "You know that Patrick originally wanted it to be going back, he actually wanted his wife’s voice to be calling him into the house, his real wife’s voice. "But I think the fandom really did want us, for the most part, to get back together. So I think we sort of, we’re like this about it, right?" "It’s more like, No, we weren’t like, back together…. but obviously I was going to be in his life because we had a son… I think it doesn’t really matter. I think what matters is what you guys think, and it could be any number of ways.” While that doesn't quite help to clear anything up, it's certainly interesting to hear her interpretation. At the convention, McFadden also praised Beverly's arc in Picard, describing her as a more well-rounded character than we'd previously seen. Since Star Trek: Picard's final season, fans have been rallying to make new spin-0ff series Star Trek: Legacy happen. While showrunner Terry Matalas is currently busy with Marvel's Vision Quest series, he's certainly not ruling out anything in the future as he's said multiple times that he'd love to bring the Star Trek spin-off to life.

How to watch Primetime Emmys 2025 - can you stream it?
The Emmy Awards have taken place, but can you watch on demand?
It’s been a brilliant year for TV, and many of our favourite shows got their fair share of recognition last night at the 2025 Emmy Awards. Adolescence led the way with six wins in total, including for the performances of Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Owen Cooper, with the later making history as the youngest male winner in Emmys history for his role in the Netflix drama. “I was nothing about three years ago. I'm here now,” Cooper said as he accepted his award. The Studio followed shortly behind with four wins, including for Seth Rogen, who took home the Emmy for lead comedy actor for his role as studio head Matt Remick in the Apple TV+ hit. Meanwhile, medical drama The Pitt took home two major Emmy awards, including outstanding drama series, while Noah Wyle won the award for best actor in a drama. Elsewhere, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert bagged its first-ever win in the outstanding talk series category. Didn't catch the ceremony and wondering where you can watch on demand? Read on for everything you need to know about where to watch the 2025 Emmy Awards. How to watch Primetime Emmys 2025 - can you stream it? The 2025 Emmy Awards were broadcast live on Sunday 14th September at 8pm ET on CBS, as well as on services that carry CBS, including DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo and YouTube TV. If you're hoping to catch up on demand, the ceremony is available to stream on Paramount Plus from Monday 15th to Sunday 21st September. Who hosted the Primetime Emmys 2025? The ceremony was hosted by Nate Bargatze this year, who previously told Entertainment Weekly he would steer clear of politics. "I know there's heartbreaking stuff that's been happening right now, but I want this night to be an escape and I think that's why I was brought on," he said. However, the stand-up comedian was soon slammed on social media after he introduced a novel way of keeping acceptance speeches short. At the beginning of the broadcast, Bargatze explained that he would donate $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of America and that, every time a winner's speech went over 45 seconds, the money would start counting down by $1,000 every second. It was a move that soon proved to be controversial, with many fans on social media criticising the countdown clock that appeared on stage.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 ending explained – What happened to Marie Batel?
*Warning: Major spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 episode 10.* Throughout Strange New Worlds season 3, we've seen just how far the crew of the Enterprise will go for the ones they love - and that's been proven more than anything in the finale episode. As the latest season of the Star Trek spin-off comes to a dramatic end, we've finally discovered the fate of Marie Batel (Melanie Scrofano) and what's next for the crew as more strange new worlds await them. Thankfully, we have two more seasons ahead of us, with season 4 having already completed filming. But, as the show bows out for now, here's everything you need to know about how Strange New Worlds season 3 ended. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 ending explained - What happened to Marie Batel? Marie Batel, who earlier this season was treated with groundbreaking medicine after being infected with Gorn eggs, transformed into the Beholder statue on Vadia IX in the finale episode. It's a slightly puzzling turn of events, even for Strange New Worlds, so let's break down how we got here. In episode 5, the crew first encountered the Beholder statue on Vadia IX at an ancient site which turned out to be a temporally shifted prison for the Vezda. An inscription read: "Here stands the Beholder, sentry of eternal bridges," while L'an (Christina Chong) noticed a life sign emanating from it. Meanwhile, it was established that, on a quantum level, the Beholder's particles were in constant flux - both there and not there. In the same episode, Ensign Dana Gamble (Chris Myers) was killed by the Vezda, who then inhabited his body on board the Enterprise. While Scotty (Martin Quinn) contained the Vezda in an orb, we were warned that, had it escaped, it could have freed all of the Vezda who had been incarcerated. Cut to episode 10, when Batel is preparing to leave the Enterprise for a new job at the General's Office, and the crew attend a party for her thrown by Captain Pike. The gang's all there, except for Roger Korby (Cillian O'Sullivan) who is on a mission on Skygowan, integrating himself into a community who worship the Vezda. But things quickly get worrying when Scotty discovers that Dana Gamble's (Chris Myers) DNA pattern was rebuilt from emergency backups, and left the ship without anyone knowing. As for where Gamble could be now? Skygowan, of course. Pike sends down a landing party to Skygowan to meet Korby, with Nurse Chapel noting the similarities to Vadia IX. Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) notices that Korby's communicator went offline right at a gateway that looks exactly like the one on Vadia IX, with Chapel deducing that it must act as a transporter. Back on the Enterprise, Spock (Ethan Peck), Pelia (Carol Kane), and Scotty notice an inter-dimensional "lane line" connecting Vadia IX to Skygowan, suggesting that's how the entity inhabiting Gamble's body reached the Vezda prison – and ultimately meaning it could potentially unleash all the incarcerated Vezda on Skygowan. Korby suggests there will be more containment orbs through the gateway, but something else grabs M'Benga's (Babs Olusanmokun) attention: he reveals his life story is written in Swahili on the gate. He suggests it's down to destiny – that he has to stop the Vezda due to his personal bond with Gamble. But what M'Benga doesn't know is that Gamble can't pass through the gateway alone as it's built for two. The Vezda in Gamble's body ambushes them and throws itself and M'Benga through the gateway. Inside, Gamble starts to lash out at the Beholder statue – and, with every blow, Batel appears to become injured. It quickly becomes clear that the pair are somehow linked and, after Chapel runs some tests, she discovers that the DNA signatures from the statue and from Batel are identical. Somehow, Batel actually is the Beholder. Later on in the episode, Batel establishes how she became the Beholder – that the Vezda is actually evil itself and, after everything she's been through, she's managed to take on all of the adaptive qualities from every race that has fought evil, turning her into a universal protector. She suggests that she was the one to lock away the Vezda all those aeons ago. When Pike asks how that could have been possible, Spock points out that, when talking about inter-dimensional events, cause and effect can be reversed. Finally, Batel realises she can never leave Vadia IX and must stay to protect the world from evil as the Beholder, with Pike realising he must say goodbye to the love of his life forever. What happened to the Vezda? Afterwards, Batel goes to face Gamble. After some trouble with opening the portal, Spock mind melds with Kirk (Paul Wesley) to allow both starships to fire at the temple, hitting it with enough power to open it. As Pike urges Batel to fight back against Gamble, she tells him that, as both the Beholder and Marie Batel, the light she holds in her is brighter than his darkness. Batel easily vanquishes Gamble, leaving the rest of the Vezda in their prison, and vanishes into light, finally transforming into the Beholder for good, to stand guard and stop evil being unleashed on the universe. Was Batel and Pike's alternate life together real? Just before Batel faces down Gamble, though, we're taken out of the story for a glimpse into an alternative version of Pike and Batel's life together. Just how 'real' this version of their life together was is open to interpretation but there's a big clue near the end that it never happened. As Batel prepares to fight back, we her and Pike in another life, in which they're married, and have promised to enjoy however much time they have together before his inevitable accident. For one anniversary, Batel gifts Pike an apron with 'Chef Pike' written on the front. We see glimpses of their life together, including one scene of Batel and Pike preparing for the accident as he heads off on a three-month training mission. But he returns unharmed, and he's left puzzled about how he avoids his destiny, with Batel suggesting that Skygowan is the reason. She claims that she was able to open up the fabric of space and time and "reset everything". With Pike avoiding the accident in this lifetime, he and Batel celebrate anniversaries, as well as their daughter's engagement (to Robert April's son Eli). But Pike starts to hear a phantom knocking that Batel seemingly can't hear. Finally, we see Batel on her death bed as Pike sits next to her in her final moments. She tells him to open the door, where he finds Gamble looking back at him, and he's transported back to reality, before Batel faces down the Vezda. Later on, when Pike's back on the Enterprise, he finds an apron. Turning it over, he sees it's blank rather than the one emblazoned with 'Chef Pike', seemingly confirming that none of his life with Batel actually ever happened. What happened to the rest of the crew? After Batel's defeat of Gamble, the season wraps up pretty quickly. Korby reveals he wants to stay on Skygowan and says goodbye to Chapel. Elsewhere, Kirk and Spock's friendship has developed after their mind meld. Pike is heartbroken after the loss of Batel, but has Number One to look after him. Finally, it's revealed that Korby's research unveiled many uncharted planets – enough for a five-year mission – with Pike ordering Ortegas to whisk them away.
