CAUTION: That dead elk in Yellowstone could be grizzly bear bait

Heeding legitimate signs is always important, but between May 1st and October 15 at Yellowstone National Park it will be particularly significant. These signs will help visitors avoid encounters with the friend-shaped but not-too-friendly member of the local fauna. “It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs,” the national park emphasized in a recent statement. Yellowstone National Park is home to both grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) and black bears (Ursus americanus), with 150 to 200 grizzlies spending at least some time in the park. Grizzlies are a subspecies of the brown bear (Ursus arctos). They are usually larger and, as its scientific name suggests, much more aggressive. The Endangered Species Act classified grizzly bears as Threatened, though their estimated population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has made a formidable comeback. In 1975 they were estimated at 136—by 2024, that had increased to 1,030. The park also announced that it will be capturing a few …

Yellowstone star reveals he initially hated character death

Published by Daniella Wilson

While Kayce Dutton continues his journey in the wake of Yellowstone’s main show coming to an end, there are a lot of changes in the character’s life for audiences – and star Luke Grimes – to deal with. Most notably, fans were shocked to learn that Kayce’s wife, Monica Dutton, would not be a part of the new spin-off series, Marshals. Kelsey Asbille, who has starred opposite Grimes since the start of Yellowstone, was written out of the latest story with an off-screen death. Grimes was gutted about the decision when he was first told his long-time co-star would not be with him for this new chapter of Kayce’s life, and he told Radio Times in an exclusive interview exactly what he thought at the time. He said: “My first gut reaction was, ‘I hate that idea’. It just didn’t even compute. There was no Kayce without Monica. That was their whole arc – this Romeo and Juliet love story. They were two halves that made the whole so I couldn’t even wrap my head …

‘Marshals’ Star Logan Marshall-Green on Why ‘Yellowstone’ Spinoff Is More Than a Procedural

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Marshals is the latest TV series to expand the Yellowstone story universe, and it’s landed on CBS. The show, inspired by the characters created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, centers on Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes). In an effort to forge a new beginning, Kayce joins the US Marshals. However, as much as he tries to move forward, unresolved demons from his past resurface in unexpected ways. Kayce is taken out of his comfort zone with the marshals, but also finds a place to focus his skills. This Marshals crew is led by Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green) — known to his crew as “Cal” — and also includes Yellowstone universe newcomers Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means). Yellowstone actors Gil Birmingham, Moses Brings Plenty and Brecken Merrill reprise their roles as Thomas Rainwater, Mo and Tate Dutton, respectively, meaning a narrative throughline involving the Black Rock Reservation and its community keeps the series tethered to Paramount Network’s landmark show. It feels like a lot of work to strike …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Viewers who tuned into the season two finale of Landman caught the first teaser trailer for another highly anticipated series in the Taylor Sheridan-verse on Sunday. The Madison, one of several Yellowstone offshoots, had revealed first-look photos earlier this week of the Michelle Pfeiffer-led starry cast, and now the series has shared a brief, 30-second glimpse (below) into the new Yellowstone-verse offering. The Madison premieres Saturday, March 14 with a six-episode season that centers around New York City family the Clyburns, who live in the Madison River valley of central Montana. It’s not yet known if they are connected the Duttons of Yellowstone proper. The Madison has been described as a “heartfelt study of grief and human connection” and a “profound love story channeled through a deeply personal family drama about resilience and transformation.” Paramount+ is also touting the spinoff as one of Sheridan’s “most intimate work to date,” revealing that the present-day set series will unfold “across two distinct worlds — the beautiful landscape of Montana and the vibrant energy of Manhattan — as it examines …
