What it meant in America, and wanting to see if there were similarities around the world, in what other countries considered their soul food.” She kicks off the series by tracing the roots of soul food to the legacy of African American cooking, starting in Mississippi, before she makes a surprising connection to Native Americans in Oklahoma. “There are things that I learned,” Reynolds said, “and things that I think some experts didn’t know, or the average black American, or the average American, for that matter.

clip on ET. This applies to the various factions of the Dutton ranching family on the hit Paramount show — which consists of patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his adult kids, Kayce (Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley), Beth (Kelly Reilly) and John’s son-in-law, Rip (Cole Hauser). But it might also relate to the reportedly behind-the-scenes drama between Costner, 68, and showrunner Taylor Sheridan, 52. For the past few months, rumors have flown about a feud between the showrunner and star.

Right after the ending of “Yellowstone” premieres, there will be a “sequel series.” The network has not yet revealed the title, cast or plot details of the “sequel series,” but it will premiere in December, immediately following the ending of “Yellowstone.” It’s likely that “Yellowstone” stars such as Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will be in it, and it’s probable that this is the “Yellowstone” show that will star Matthew McConaughey.
