In the universe of Yellowstone spinoffs, Y: Marshals is clearly one that Paramount is prioritizing. The series, which will see Luke Grimes reprise his role as Kayce Dutton and join the U.S. Marshals, is set to air on CBS instead of Paramount+, and we now know more about who will be joining Grimes in the cast.

Variety is now reporting that Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill, all three cast members on Yellowstone, will reprise their roles as Thomas Rainwater, Mo, and Tate Dutton, respectively. We also know that Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, and Tatanka Means will all be joining the cast as members of the Marshals service.

Brett Cullen will also appear in the recurring role of Harry Gifford, the head of the U.S. Marshals in Montana, and it was previously announced that Logan Marshall-Green would be joining the cast as Pete Calvin, a friend of Kayce’s from his time in the military.

The official logline for the series: “With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce Dutton (Grimes) 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.”

With a full cast, it’s clear that Paramount is moving full steam ahead with the series. The show is expected to premiere on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. on CBS in 2026.

China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.

According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.

Grok’s AI-generated Odyssey series is seven minutes of nothing happening beautifully
The landscapes look convincing. The fake Hugh Jackman and Instagram-face amalgamation playing Penelope are harder to forgive.
Uniform ships Odyssey by Grok

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?
