Here’s a fun tidbit for those who love Taylor Sheridan’s work and Jane Austen period drama, Jennifer Ehle, whom many know as Elizabeth Bennet, will star in the 1923 prequel series to Yellowstone.
Following her succuss this summer and after starring in prior films like Feel the Beat, Sofia Carson and Netflix will team again for a thriller Carry On. Also starring will be Taron Egerton. The official plot line reads that this film “centers on Ethan Kopek, a young TSA agent who gets blackmailed by a mysterious traveler to let a dangerous package slip through security and onto a Christmas Day flight.”
In (more) TV news (which we always find), Mary McDonnell will co-star in a CBS pilot called The Never Game. Justin Hartley will be the lead in the series about man raised to be a “survivalist” who travels the country helping people rediscover lost people. McDonnell will star in this in her first role since TNT Major Crimes role.

I was excited to hear about a new season of Jack Ryan! I wasn’t sure they were going to make another one.
I watched Jack Ryan but don’t remember much about it. I think it’s been an unusual gap between seasons for this one so I’ll have to decide if I want to try a re-watch. :)
