Paramount+ Sets Dutton Ranch Premiere May 15

📰 Full Story

Paramount has announced that Dutton Ranch, a high-profile spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone, will premiere on Paramount+ (and air on the Paramount Network) on May 15, launching with two episodes at 8 p.m. ET/PT followed by weekly releases across a nine-episode first season. The series follows fan-favorites Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they relocate to South Texas with their ward Carter (Finn Little) and clash with a ruthless rival ranch. Paramount released a teaser and first-look images in late March that emphasize violence and rivalry; the cast also includes Annette Bening, Ed Harris, Jai Courtney, Juan Pablo Raba, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind and J.R. Villarreal. Chad Feehan serves as creator and showrunner; Taylor Sheridan and John Linson remain executive producers. Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Dutton Ranch arrives shortly after Marshals and The Madison in a busy 2026 rollout of Sheridan-linked projects and revives a core Yellowstone storyline for Paramount+’s streaming slate.

Bachelorette Season Pulled After Leaked Assault Footage

📰 Full Story

A leaked 2023 video and subsequent bodycam material showing reality star Taylor Frankie Paul in a violent altercation with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, have triggered a rapid cascade of legal, production and corporate fallout in the United States. TMZ published the resurfaced footage on March 19; additional police bodycam clips were released March 23–24. ABC abruptly cancelled Paul’s already-filmed season of The Bachelorette days before its planned March premiere and Hulu paused production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 5. Mortensen was granted temporary custody of the couple’s 2‑year‑old son and a temporary protective order; he and Paul face a Draper City police investigation into a separate February incident. Salt Lake County prosecutors have requested investigative materials to assess whether new allegations could enhance charges or trigger a probation violation tied to Paul’s August 2023 plea in abeyance (36‑month probation through Aug. 24, 2026). Insiders say Disney could face substantial losses from the pulled season and advertisers have pulled spots. Castmates and franchise alumni have publicly reacted; speculation about who leaked the video has been denied by Paul’s costars.

BBC's Repair Shop scraps Monkhouse joke segment

📰 Full Story

On 24 March 2026 producers of the BBC series The Repair Shop halted and removed a filmed segment after discovering material in handwritten joke books belonging to late comedian Bob Monkhouse that was judged inappropriate for broadcast. Ricochet, the series' production company, said the books — brought into the show's barn by Monkhouse's former writing partner Colin Edmonds and his adopted daughter Abigail Williams — contained numerous gags and illustrations dating from the 1960s that were not suitable for a programme. Joanna Ball, Ricochet's managing director, said the item was returned to the family and filming of the piece was not completed. The notebooks, long part of Monkhouse's archive and famously stolen in 1995 before being recovered, reportedly include cartoons of topless women and material some outlets described as sexist by modern standards. The decision prompted criticism from commentators and tabloid coverage accusing the broadcaster of 'caving in' to sensitivities, while the BBC described the move as a production decision made in consideration of viewers.

Badshah Reportedly Marries Actress Isha Rikhi

📰 Full Story

Indian rapper-singer Badshah (Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia) is reported to have married Punjabi actress-model Isha Rikhi in a low-key ceremony, after photos and videos from the event circulated widely online on March 24, 2026. Clips and images shared on Instagram by Isha’s mother, Poonam Rikhi, appear to show traditional wedding rituals including varmala and pheras; some stills show the actress wearing sindoor and bridal accessories. In the footage Badshah is seen in traditional kurta and saafa. Neither Badshah nor Isha have issued an official statement confirming the marriage. Reports say the couple had been linked for about four years. The coverage notes this would be Badshah’s second marriage; he was previously married to Jasmine Masih, with whom he has a daughter, Jessemy Grace Masih Singh, who lives in London. The reports come amid heightened public scrutiny of Badshah following controversy around his March 2026 Haryanvi single “Tateeree,” though outlets emphasise the wedding appears to have been a private family event rather than a publicity stunt.

Harry and Meghan to Produce Netflix Polo Drama

📰 Full Story

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are executive producing a scripted polo-themed drama for Netflix, Deadline and other outlets reported on March 23-24, 2026. The untitled series, written by Francisca X. Hu, is set in Wellington, Florida, and is described as an “upstairs-downstairs” story about two rival polo teams and the wealthy families behind them. The project will be made by Archewell Productions alongside Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire; Tracy Ryerson is attached as Archewell’s head of scripted content. The drama stems from Harry’s 2024 Polo docuseries and forms part of a slate of projects under the couple’s multi-year first-look deal with Netflix, which replaced an earlier overall agreement. The announcement comes after recent coverage suggesting strain between the Sussexes and Netflix — including the streamer’s withdrawal as an investor in Meghan’s As Ever brand — which Netflix executives have publicly disputed. Other Archewell projects in development include screen adaptations of Jasmine Guillory’s The Wedding Date and Carley Fortune’s Meet Me at the Lake.
