This article contains spoilers for "1923" season 2, episode 5, "Only Gunshots to Guide Us."

Taylor Sheridan's "1923" season 2 fixes one of the biggest mistakes on "Yellowstone" by actually giving its Native American characters meaningful storylines. While "Yellowstone" touches upon the displacement of tribes in the United States, the lack of meaningful arcs for Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) and other Indigenous characters leaves a lot to be desired in terms of getting the point across. "1923," meanwhile, boasts an emotional storyline about Thomas' ancestor, Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves), and her quest for freedom after going on the run for killing some abusive nuns who had it coming.

Unfortunately, intriguing sagas aren't always happy, as Teonna's boyfriend, Pete Brings Plenty (Jeremy Gauna), might be dead following the events of "1923" season 2, episode 5. The manhunt for Teonna, led by the sadistic Marshal Kent (Jamie McShane), has produced some of the darkest moments in...

This article contains spoilers for "1923" season 2, episode 3, "Wrap Thee In Terror."

While "1923" can be criticized for repurposing some unpopular "Yellowstone" storylines, the prequel series is still one of Taylor Sheridan's best shows to date. "Yellowstone" lost its way as the seasons progressed, mostly due to plots that went nowhere or contained holes large enough to ride a wagon train through. The show's inability to live up to one of the franchise's main themes is an egregious error, but "1923" is doing a great job of fixing this shortcoming.

Sheridan's "Yellowstone" franchise deals with the displacement of Native Americans in the United States, but the titular series fails to explore the theme with any substance. For proof, look no further than the journey of Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), who became an afterthought in favor of more Dutton-centric drama throughout that show's five seasons. The last installment even...

This article contains mild spoilers for "1923."

Taylor Sheridan's "Yellowstone" franchise is the prize horse that keeps on giving. As of this writing, it's produced three shows in total, with even more spin-offs on the way. These include a series about Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler's (Cole Hauser) post-"Yellowstone" adventures, "The Madison," which stars the incredible Michelle Pfeiffer, and "6666," which could bring back two fan-favorite characters from the main series. Sheridan's universe just won't stop expanding, and "1923" Season 2 might have just provided another avenue for the franchise to grow.

This second installment of "1923" sees Teonna Rainwater (Aminah Nieves), Runs His Horse (Michael Spears), and Pete Plenty Clouds (Cole Brings Plenty) on the run from the authorities and some angry religious zealots, with their perilous journey taking them to the Ja Ranch in Texas. The ranch and its occupants look set to factor into the upcoming episodes,...

Television titan Taylor Sheridan has undeniably become one of the most prominent and exciting talents on the small screen, with the Yellowstone creator, writer, director, and producer further capitalizing on the massive success of the streaming juggernaut by crafting captivating prequels and sequels revolving around the beloved Dutton clan. In 2022, Sheridan enlisted Hollywood greats Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren to star in his Western drama series 1923, a sequel to the original hit that focused on Jacob and Cara Dutton as they fight to keep their sprawling ranch afloat while being faced with countless threats of all shapes and sizes.

Featuring the additional talents of actors like Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer, and Timothy Dalton, 1923 unsurprisingly proved to be a knockout with passionate audiences, with its debut episode attracting 7.4 million viewers and becoming Paramount+'s largest debut ever. 27-year-old Cole Brings Plenty appeared as sheepherder Pete Plenty Clouds in the first season of the acclaimed hit,...

Aminah Nieves and Cole Brings Plenty had ended the first season of 1923 with new opportunities for their characters, Teonna Rainwater and Pete Plenty Clouds, and their blossoming love story.

The first season of the hit Yellowstone prequel series was a breakout one for Nieves as it tracked her Indigenous character, Teonna, and her epic journey escaping a 1923-set Indian assimilation boarding school run by the Catholic Church where she was abused.

After everything she endured, the season ended with her reuniting with her father (played by Michael Spears) and beginning to fall in love with the son of the man who helped save her, Pete Plenty Clouds (played by the late Cole Brings Plenty). Her final scene featured the three of them riding off to Wyoming in hopes of escaping the priest (Sebastian Roché) and other men who are now hunting her in season two, which returned after two years on Sunday.

1923 is back with Season 2, but fans are noticing that one character has been recast in the second season.

Pete Plenty Clouds, son of Hank Plenty Clouds (Michael Greyeyes), was originally played by Cole Brings Plenty in Season 1 of the Paramount+ TV show, and there was plenty of storyline left for the character in the upcoming season.

Sadly, there was a terrible tragedy ahead of filming.

Lawmen: Bass Reeves, the latest series in Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan’s stable, tells an untold story that has been years in the making.

The Paramount+ anthology series, developed for TV by showrunner Chad Feehan, deep dives into the life story of legendary lawman Bass Reeves, played by David Oyelowo in the series, to chart his rise from enslavement to law enforcement as one of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals west of the Mississippi.

Oyelowo recently told The Hollywood Reporter that when he first pitched the series in 2015, “the whole town turned it down saying, ‘We’re not doing that because no one is doing Westerns.'” When he again went out with the project in 2017, he was told, “Oh, we’re not doing that because everyone is doing Westerns.” Oyelowo said he had a similar journey when getting Selma made, and that it wasn’t until the...

While rumours swirl that Kevin Costner’s scheduling demands could prematurely end “Yellowstone”, the president of Paramount Network is expressing confidence that everything will be ironed out to ensure Costner continues starring in the network’s most popular series.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, on Saturday, April 1, Paramount Network president Keith Cox appeared at a Paleyfest panel for “Yellowstone” at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and addressed reports of the show’s possible demise amid Costner’s behind-the-scenes drama.

“What I can say is our star, the face of our show and the executive producer, are very confident he’s going to continue with our show,” Cox told the crowd.

Speaking at a Yellowstone panel on Saturday night, Keith Cox, president of development and production at Paramount Network, addressed the elephant in the room concerning star Kevin Costner’s future with the show.

“What I can say is our star, the face of our show and the executive producer, are very confident he’s going to continue with our show,” Cox told the crowd at the Dolby Theatre, in front of hundreds of fans who delivered an enthusiastic response.

[This story contains spoilers to the 1923 season finale, “Nothing Left to Lose.”]

1923 has released its season finale and amid heartbreaking cliffhangers and treacherous uncertainty for many of the ensemble cast, the Yellowstone prequel series also delivered hope.

That ray of light surrounds Teonna Rainwater, the breakout Indigenous character on Taylor Sheridan’s Western saga played by Aminah Nieves. For eight episodes, 1923 has tracked Teonna’s epic journey. And not until the end of the finale, titled “Nothing Left to Lose,” was it revealed that — after everything she has endured — she is a survivor.

When Nieves saw what Sheridan had in store for Teonna, she tells The Hollywood Reporter that she had doubts about the role. When viewers first meet the teenager of Crow descent, she is being physically, emotionally and sexually abused for her refusal to culturally assimilate, shining a bright light on the Indian boarding-school era when Native children were sent to government-funded schools run by the Catholic Church. Teonna murders...

Paramount+’s 1923 season one finishes up with episode eight, “Nothing Left to Lose,” an episode that ends with multiple cliffhangers and none of the three major storylines any closer to resolution. The season finale split fan-favorite couple Alex and Spencer apart, left Donald Whitfield sitting in the catbird seat, and revealed Cara’s worried that Spencer’s the Yellowstone Ranch’s only hope. And Teonna’s storyline only advanced as far as the Wyoming state line, with law enforcement and Father Renaud hot on her tail.

At least Paramount+ has already confirmed 1923 is returning for season two and we will, eventually, learn if Alex and Spencer make it to Montana. However, Paramount+ hasn’t announced when fans can expect a second season to arrive.

As the sidekick of Batman himself, Robin is one of the most beloved comic-book characters of all time, particularly among children. Created as a reader-insert in Batman stories, the purpose of Robin was to create someone kids could relate to as they imagined themselves going on zany adventures alongside the World's Greatest Detective. Nowhere is this better exemplified than through the third Robin, Tim Drake.

As the longest-serving Robin, Tim Drake is also Batman's most consistent partner. As a pairing, Batman and Robin stories tend to be more kid-friendly than most Batman stories. Furthermore, Robin's solo stories are targeted especially towards children and teens. Smart, brave and reliable, Tim Drake is intended as a role model to young people. So, it may come as a surprise that one of the most horrific Robin stories was given to Tim Drake.
