Donnie Wahlberg‘s Boston Blue is returning for a second season — so who is and isn’t returning after a major recasting?

Before Boston Blue, Blue Bloods followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom work for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), was also central to the show, alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).

The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced a spinoff. Wahlberg’s character is at the center of the spinoff, which picks up as the former NYPD officer takes on a position with the Boston P.D. He is then paired with detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.

Despite keeping a lot of details the same, Boston Blue went through changes when Mika Amonsen was added to the cast as Sean, which was originated by Andrew Terraciano. Boston Blue found success and was renewed after breaking records for CBS.

Season 11 of Below Deck Mediterranean will go down in franchise history — and Captain Sandy Yawn, Aesha Scott and Joe Bradley are giving Us a glimpse of what is to come.

Bravo’s Below Deck franchise has been a reliably dramatic and fun port in a reality TV storm since its 2013 debut. When Below Deck Mediterranean returns to Bravo for season 11 (Monday, June 8, at 8 p.m. ET) in Dubrovnik, Croatia, it’ll feature its first surf-and-turf plot line, with bosun Nathan Gallagher splitting his time between work on the water and time on land with partner Gael Cameron and their new baby.

“The fact that we were able to do that for him was great,” Captain Sandy exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Every time I saw Nathan, he seemed very excited to see his family, but when he would come back, he was very tired!”

Fan-favorite chief stew Aesha has to contend with her own work-life balance issues, catering to guest demands while planning her wedding. (She and now-husband Scott Dobson tied the knot in March.)

Former 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Stars: Where Are They Now?

Aesha tells Us, “Coming back this season, I was a little wary. I was getting married soon, but it honestly ended up being my favorite season ever!”

Deckhand Joe is also back after a rough season 10, which ended on a sour note with his former best mate Nathan. (The two and Gael all met as crew members during season 9.)

Joe tells Us he was determined to redeem himself after a disastrous season 10 love triangle with stewardesses Victoria SanJuan and Kizzi Kitchener.

“I understand it’s not a comfortable position — even as a viewer — so watching myself back, I have learned from the situation,” Joe says. “I’m really focused on my job right now.”

The relationship drama will instead come courtesy of the newbies, including chef Joy Lefaucheur, stews Genevieve Lillie, Katrina Johnston and Kayley Smith and deckhands Cooper Dawson and Luke Brumer.

Keep scrolling to see what Captain Sandy, Aesha and Joe teased about what is to come in season 11 of Below Deck Med:

Nathan and Joe Crossing Paths After Their Falling Out

While Below Deck Med viewers had a front row seat to the rift between Joe and Nathan, Sandy is still in the dark, telling Us, “I still don’t know what happened. You see how many times I’ve asked. … I know about the dynamics between Joe and Nathan, but I don’t know why. I have not heard a reason why and I’ve gotten no answer.”

Sandy found it “weird” to see Nathan and Joe’s new normal. “They had a bromance and now they don’t,” she noted. “It’s so odd.”

While speaking to Us, Aesha was just as stumped, adding, “It just felt like a long time coming and I wasn’t surprised, so I just tried to ignore it and let them handle it, until I couldn’t ignore it anymore.”

Aesha never expected them to reconcile.

“Not for one second, they fell out a while ago and I could tell it was for good,” she added. “There is no repairing that. Nathan is stubborn as hell and Joe wants Nathan’s job. so that mix will never end well.”

As for whether Joe redeemed himself in season 11? For Aesha, it was in some ways “yes, very much,” and in other ways, “not at all.” Joe, for his part, offered his perspective on taking responsibility in an effort to do better this time around.

“I know how to work Nathan, I know how to deal with him. All you got to do is keep your mouth shut and don’t laugh,” Joe told Us. “That’s how you deal with Nathan. I just knew how to play along.”

He continued: “Nathan does say things and he wants you to blow up. But if you just keep your mouth shut, head down, tail between your legs, that’s what he likes. He’s an aggressive man.”

After returning to Below Deck Med, Joe was determined to do things differently, but he admitted he partook in some “kissing in the nightclub.” He teased, “Does it happen with anyone else? We’re gonna have to see the show, but I am really focused on what my job entails.”

The Interior Dynamics

While tensions were rocky on deck, it couldn’t have been more different in the interior. Aesha previewed what to expect, telling Us, “The interior team this season was fire! For the first time ever, I finally got three stews! And all of them were very capable, so we had the hands to make the guest experience even more elevated. Their dynamic starts OK like always, but things never stay OK for very long in yachting.”

Aesha also teased her biggest challenge this time around.

“With three stews I was just on Cloud 9 all season, so it felt less challenging even though it is still relentlessly hard work. My biggest challenge was probably managing a certain stewardess, and trying to understand what the hell Gen Z is talking about half the time,” she added. “We get one of the biggest tips in Below Deck history and have a love triangle that hits every department.”

Below Deck Mediterranean’s Biggest Drama Through the Years 

Making ‘Below Deck’ History

Captain Sandy broke down how Bravo made sure Nathan felt supported as a new dad, saying, “It was important that Nathan got to see his son. As far as his job, how many people get to do that? Not many. So the fact that we were able to do that for him was great.”

Despite adjusting to include Nathan in the charter season, there were still challenges.

“Did it help or hurt? In my opinion, every time I saw Nathan, he seemed very excited to see his family, but when he would come back … he was excited, but he was very tired,” she added. “I think when the baby’s up all night, it’s hard. But you make those sacrifices because you’re a parent and that’s your child.”

In her own interview with Us, Aesha praised Nathan for “juggling both,” saying, “Our jobs are so hard and demanding it’s hard enough to cope when you are fully focused. I cannot imagine being that needed at work while your heart is with your child and partner, especially when that partner is solo parenting and finding it difficult. I don’t know how he did it.”

As for Joe, his perspective was a bit different.

“Regardless of the show you’re dealing with, people that are in the Mediterranean [say] you’ve got to be so involved mentally, physically and everything,” Joe noted. “You’ve got to give your 100 percent. If you’ve got any distractions, you’re going to crumble and we’re easily replaceable.”

Welcome Back to Below Deck Royalty

Below Deck Med fans are in for a surprise return with Hannah Ferrier making an appearance.

“Hannah and I made restitution long before that aired or before that happened. So, Hannah and I were in a great place and having her there was wonderful,” Sandy shared before Aesha added, “Reuniting with Hannah was incredible!! Hannah has always supported me becoming chief stew. It felt so surreal to then be standing with her in Croatia celebrating me getting married! Very full circle!”

Fans are anxiously awaiting season 5 of Sweet Magnolias — but some main cast members will be missing when the show finally does return.

First things first, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, who has played Maddie since season 1, gave Us insight into why there might be a delay on the arrival of the return to Serenity.

“It is very exciting this season. We are all over the place. It’s taking us a little bit longer to complete a season because we’ve gotten the opportunity to travel,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2025. “Actually, last night we were shooting at the baseball field and I was looking around, and we have a lot of new cast members. There’s these new faces in Serenity, South Carolina, that are so exciting for me. … There’s new, fresh blood and energy in Serenity.”

Sweet Magnolias, which premiered in 2020, is based on Sherryl Woods’ novels about three women who have been best friends since childhood as they navigate their romantic lives, careers and family. Season 4 ended with surprising moves, breakups, engagements and even a major death, which has made Netflix viewers curious about where the show goes next.

Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?

Keep scrolling to see which characters are coming back — and which aren’t:

JoAnna Garcia Swisher

During her interview with Us, Swisher teased Maddie’s big move to New York City.

“Someone had mentioned something about people who were not happy that Maddie took a job in New York City. And I was like, ‘OK, let’s look into that. Let’s kind of dive into that because it’ll help me as I navigate Maddie in season 5,’” she recalled about the divisive story line. ”It’s really all about just expanding and contracting. That’s what life is. Just because we got the man or we have the kids at home, we’re still vital, living, breathing people. Our dreams don’t end when we just get to one destination.”

Swisher was excited for fans to see how they approached the big change.

“It definitely was something that I never thought twice about when I read the scripts. But it was interesting to see the feedback and the way people felt,” she noted. “So I feel really excited to be able to portray a character that is still flexing her muscles and still dreaming and has an incredibly supportive partner and children. They’re all thriving and everyone’s OK and life is still revealing itself.”

Brooke Elliott

Elliott has been photographed filming scenes for season 5 as Dana Sue (Elliott) visited Maddie in New York City.

Heather Headley

Headley told TVLine in July 2025 that season 5 will feature Helen (Headley) and Eric (Dion Johnstone) having conversations about possibly expanding their family after getting engaged in season 4.

Logan Allen

Kyle’s (Allen) story will continue when season 5 returns to Netflix.

Anneliese Judge

After season 4 saw Annie (Judge) and Ty (Carson Rowland) finally becoming a couple, the season ended with them at odds about their next steps. Judge isn’t losing out hope about where their journey would go from here.

“I’m going to be really interested to see if we’re renewed for another season, which I’m crossing my fingers [we will be],” she exclusively told Us in February 2025. “The cliffhanger, it’s there for me. I feel like I’m right alongside the viewers. Like, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t know what’s gonna happen.’ Like, I don’t know if Ty’s gonna realize that that was not the right way to approach that conversation. Because it came from a good place. He wanted her to go with him. He wanted to for the world with her. I get it, but it’s hard. It’s so hard. We’ll have to see.”

Carson Rowland

Ty wasn’t featured as prominently after Rowland and his wife, Maris Kenny, welcomed their first child. That was expected to change in season 5 but Us ultimately broke the news that Rowland sat season 5 out.

Justin Bruening

Season 4 hinted that Maddie and Cal (Bruening) could consider expanding their family.

“I actually just talked about this yesterday with Justin because I’m like, ‘We never got a honeymoon.’ I don’t know if that will involve a little bun in the oven — or at least an opportunity. But I think it’s really been really sweet to see step into this father role and Cal is knocking it out of the park,” Swisher told Us. “I don’t know if I do get pregnant. I hope it’s during the winter in Serenity because it’s really hot right now. But I’m up for all of the journey.”

Chris Klein

Following four seasons playing Bill, Klein’s character was killed off and will likely not appear in future episodes.

“But the reason [he died] is we were looking for a cataclysmic event that would strike everybody at the core of their being,” creator Sheryl J. Anderson told Us in February 2025. “And across his time in Serenity, [Bill] has been central, obviously to Maddie and the kids but also to the group of friends around them [and] to other people in town.”

Jamie Lynn Spears

Spears won Us over as Noreen so hopefully season 5 will show how her story develops after finding love again.

Dion Johnstone

Anderson teased how Eric and Helen’s romance will grow in season 5, sharing with Us, “It’s really important for couples to have at least begun conversations on those big issues [like adoption] before they get engaged. I mean, ideally and certainly before they get married.”

Brandon Quinn

Dana Sue’s family — including husband Ronnie — are still an integral part of Sweet Magnolias.

Chris Medlin

If Medlin isn’t brought back to Serenity as Isaac, viewers would likely riot so chances are he will be in season 5.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Sigler has been cast as Nell Winters, who is a prominent writer Maddie befriends in New York.

Yellowstone fans are in for some onscreen surprises when it comes to Rip and Beth’s Dutton Ranch spinoff.

Natalie Alyn Lind exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about what to expect, saying, “What I loved about the original Yellowstone so much is the family dynamics. I think that family relationships can be the absolute messiest because your family can hurt you more than anyone.”

Lind, who plays Oreana, teased what is to come.

“Both families will fight for each other and seeing this integration of the two families come together … it gets messy,” she shared. “It gets really messy. In the best way. It gets so juicy. I’m so excited.”

Meet the Star-Studded Cast of Yellowstone's Spinoff ‘Dutton Ranch’

Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family. The Paramount Network show came to an end in 2024, expanding its universe with Luke Grimes‘ CBS show Marshals and Dutton Ranch, which premiered in May.

“As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together — far from the ghosts of Yellowstone — they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire,” the show’s synopsis reads. “In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”

Dutton Ranch will introduce some new characters played by Annette Bening and Ed Harris. Other newcomers include Jai Courtney, Lind, Marc Menchaca, Juan Pablo Raba and J. R. Villarreal.

“My arc is heading in a direction that I am not going to be specific about but she starts off the season and ends it a completely different person,” Lind told Us. “There’s things that happen that change her life forever.”

What the Cast of Yellowstone's ‘Dutton Ranch’ Spinoff Look Like in Real Life

Dutton Ranch expands Rip and Beth’s world as they meet many new people — including the powerful Jackson family made up of matriarch Beulah (Bening), who owns the 10 Petal Ranch. She runs her affluent business with sons Joaquin (Raba), a.k.a the fixer in the family and Rob-Will (Courtney), who is the reckless member of the family that sets off a chain reaction in the pilot episode.

Rob-Will has a daughter — Beulah’s granddaughter — Oreana (Lind) who is destined to inherit the ranch but instead finds herself pushing back against expectation … and finding love with Carter.

“Everybody knows the Duttons so well and there’s this deep history. For the Jacksons coming into this new franchise, we wanted it to feel like it was a family that was deep rooted so when you get to know them, it feels authentic,” Lind shared with Us.

Dutton Ranch airs Fridays on Paramount+.

The third season of Euphoria is coming to an end — but viewers are still left confused by several story lines including Alamo and Maddy’s relationship and Angel’s disappearance.

Based on the Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria follows troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggles to remain sober after rehab. The series also explores topics including mental illness, toxic relationships, sexuality and more. After its premiere in 2019, the show’s ensemble cast, which includes Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Maude Apatow, Colman Domingo quickly skyrocketed to fame.

The HBO series was quickly renewed for a second season, but it took nearly three years for the episodes to air, with the network ordering two individual specials about the aftermath of Rue and Jules’ (Schafer) breakup in the meantime.

Euphoria’s third season was originally set to air on HBO in 2025 before it faced several delays, including creator Sam Levinson’s commitment to his short-lived series The Idol. The delay was extended during the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which took place in late 2023.

Who Could Die During the 'Euphoria' Season 3 Finale? All the Options

Since season 2 concluded, the cast went through a loss when Angus Cloud died at age 25 in July 2023 following an accidental overdose. The show addressed the fate of his character, Fezco, while Eric Dane‘s Cal made an appearance in two episodes after the actor’s death following a battle with ALS. He was 53.

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the story lines that are still being questioned:

Angel’s Disappearance

Priscilla Delgado was introduced as Angel, an exotic dancer at the Silver Slippers strip club. She relapsed on drugs after her friend disappeared — who viewers saw die on screen. Angel ultimately spiraled and Rue was told to take her to rehab but the scene felt ominous as fans questioned if the character would ever be seen again.

After Alamo’s safe was robbed, Laurie’s people kept some of the stuff they found. Rue got a glimpse when she saw IDs — including Angel’s — in there. While some audience members thought that meant Angel died, others pointed out the obvious conclusion that Angel was human trafficked by Alamo.

Alamo and Maddy’s Relationship

Maddy (Demie) and Alamo (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) formed a bond that turned sinister when she had to ask for money when Cassie (Sweeney) found out that Nate (Elordi) only had 72 hours to live.

A scene then showed Alamo making Maddy put on a bathing suit to get in the hot tub with him. He ultimately agreed to help Maddy get the $1 million needed to save Nate and the scene cut off. Viewers, meanwhile, wondered if the scene hinted at Maddy having to sleep with Alamo to secure the deal but that wasn’t clarified.

The DEI of It All

While Rue working as a double agent made sense for the most part, there have been some questions about how the government officials were able to listen in on Laurie and Alamo’s plans when she wasn’t around. Viewers have questioned whether the authorities planted wires without Rue or if she was involved — but it wasn’t shown.

After Bridgerton fans had strong opinions about the show’s mistress offer, The Other Bennet Sister just introduced its own version.

During the Wednesday, June 3, episode of the BritBox period drama, Mr. Ryder (Laurie Davidson) offered Mary (Ella Bruccoleri) the chance to travel with him. Mary initially assumed them going away together meant they would get married — until Mr. Ryder clarified he wanted them to be together but with no strings attached.

“At the time and in the moment, Ryder thinks that he’s the ultimate modern feminist of that time. He’s like, ‘Well, marriage is a complete patriarchal shackle and of course, you would want to do away with that,'” Davidson, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I don’t think he’s fully realized that the actual realities of that are very, very different.”

Davidson pointed out that Mr. Ryder wasn’t considering Mary’s perspective.

Meet 'The Other Bennet Sister' Love Triangle Cast: From Mary to Tom Hayward

“The cost of it is very different for Mary. It’s very idealistic but he can genuinely see why she would want to do that. I think they would have a great time. But I don’t think he’s thought it through probably beyond the next two or three weeks,” the actor continued. “There’s a line where he says, ‘You have the courage of my convictions.’ It’s almost like he has an idea that he’s trying out in his mind. He says it out loud and then it’s now out in the air.”

Davidson continued: “When Mary sort of doesn’t push it away completely, he’s like, ‘Well, brilliant, now we’re doing it.’ It’s sort of this idea vomit, which then he wants to follow through with.”

Mary ultimately declined Mr. Ryder’s invitation, which made Bruccoleri “really intrigued” by what would have happened if she agreed to the dynamic, adding, “I’m intrigued to know whether he would have stuck around or whether either of them would have been happy long term.”

In response, Davidson suggested that Mr. Ryder would have encouraged “a freedom of relationships” for both of them. Bruccoleri, 30, meanwhile, was thrilled to hear that Mr. Ryder likely “wouldn’t have left” Mary.

Best Love Triangles in TV and Movie History Over the Years

“I don’t think so. That’s the thing, I think it’s genuine love,” Davidson added. “There’s nothing disingenuous about Ryder. It’s just what I suppose people would probably call ADHD — or you’d give it another label — but it’s big ideas and and he is thinking very fast. But I like to think he wouldn’t do a complete 180.”

Based on the novel by Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister follows the events of Pride and Prejudice from Mary’s point of view. The story then departs from that to follow Mary as she travels to London and the Lake District, and the overlooked sister from the big Bennet family has a romantic adventure in Regency England.

While Mary is currently figuring out her future, her connection with Mr. Hayward (Dónal Finn) has yet to be addressed again. Finn, 30, weighed in on the mistress offer of it all during the joint interview with Us, telling Davidson, “You feel pretty true to yourself [on the show].”

Davidson couldn’t help but agree. “It’s very spontaneous,” he added. “So in his mind, it’s the most romantic thing in the world.”

New episodes of The Other Bennet Sister air Wednesdays on BritBox.

Euphoria‘s final season was missing several pivotal characters — and now one OG cast member is speaking out about their absence.

Storm Reid, who played Rue’s (Zendaya) sister Gia, reacted to her shocking death in the Sunday, May 31, finale. Alongside a video of her recording music in the studio, Reid quipped, “Sorry rue I’m busy in the stu.”

In response, a social media user replied, “It’s fine, you weren’t in her last 7 minutes.” Reid, for her part, responded to the comment and wrote, “Were you?”

Euphoria, which premiered in 2019, originally followed troubled high school student Rue as she struggled to remain sober after rehab. The HBO series was quickly renewed for a second season after its premiere, but it took nearly three years for the episodes to air.

Is 'Euphoria' Returning for Season 4? What the Cast Said About Show's End

Season 3, meanwhile, was originally set to air on HBO in 2025 before facing several obstacles, including creator Sam Levinson’s commitment to his short-lived series The Idol. The dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which took place in late 2023, prolonged the delay.

While Reid previously confirmed she wouldn’t be returning, her onscreen mother Nika King called out the delay.

“Season 3 is coming out. I don’t f***ing know. Don’t ask me. I don’t know. It’s one of those things,” King said during a stand-up show in March 2024. “People are like, ‘We need season 3.’ I’m like, ‘Bitch, I need season 3. I haven’t paid my rent in six months.’ And Zendaya’s over in Paris at Fashion Week. I’m like, ‘Bitch, come home! I need you! Mama need you!’”

King attempted to poke fun at the delays.

“You’re laughing and I’m serious. I haven’t booked anything since Euphoria. This is some bulls***,” she continued. “I thought my career was on the rise. After Euphoria I thought I was good. It don’t work that way. I called [Taraji P. Henson], she was like, ‘Bitch, get used to it.”

Who Died in Euphoria's Season 3 Finale? Breaking Down Every Shocking Death

King was brought back for two short scenes on the show. She later took to Instagram to address her dialogue being decreased after she recalled filming more of a back-and-forth conversation for the show.

“I just watched the episode that I’ve been promoting all week — and my mom over here is clowning me!” King quipped in May before adding that her mother laughed at her because “the internet waited all this time for [her] to just say one line.”

King continued: “You better be glad I have a sense of humor. You better be glad I’ve got thick skin.”

Euphoria is currently streaming on HBO Max.

Antonio Cipriano addressed how Off Campus adapted — and changed details from Logan’s story in the book series — before his season of the show was delayed.

“What’s so great about the show and the adaptation is that all the writers had so much freedom to add so much more to these characters. The books are so POV driven between whoever is in their love story and there was so much more to play with,” Cipriano exclusively told Us Weekly in May about the vision for the shakeups. “You’re rooting for all of these characters.”

Cipriano expressed excitement at getting to expand on his character.

“You get to know Logan as a brother, as a teammate and as a best friend before he finds that love,” he noted. “You get to follow him on this arc of finding himself and those days. I was really grateful to have that opportunity. Now we’ve met Grace so I’m excited for him to get to meet her in the show.”

Biggest Book vs. TV Show Changes in Prime Video's 'Off Campus' Series

Based on the book of the same name by Elle Kennedy, the show, which premiered in May, follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives. Hannah (Ella Bright) and Garrett’s (Belmont Cameli) love story took center stage in season 1 — with several key moments from their book, The Deal, swapped for an updated version.

At the same time, the show set up Allie (Mika Abdalla) and Dean (Stephen Kalyn) as the next possible leads despite them being featured in the third installment of the series. Prime Video recently confirmed that they would be moved up while Logan, meanwhile, is expected to be the focus of a third season alongside love interest Grace (India Fowler).

Cipriano acknowledged to Us that some of the changes on Off Campus could stir up strong reactions. More specifically, he weighed in on Hannah kissing one of Garrett’s teammates in front of him — with Kennedy’s version presenting it as Dean while the series opted for Logan.

“I know that some people are going to be a little upset about that one change. But honestly, for the story that we’re trying to tell and where Logan has that kind of spark with Hannah, it’s only going to feed the story a little bit more for his attraction toward her,” Cipriano teased at the time. “How that moment meant nothing to Hannah but everything to Logan.”

Cipriano hoped the vision came along.

“He appreciates her, and it’s all innocent and all love. I also think the addition of Jules and making him a middle child is really interesting,” he added. “It changes the dynamic completely. And I’m a middle child myself, so I feel like I knew exactly who this guy was.”

Off Campus is currently streaming on Prime Video.

Dutton Ranch shook up Beth and Rip’s new life in Texas with a shocking onscreen massacre.

During the Friday, May 29, episode, Rip (Cole Hauser) failed to stop the foot-and-mouth disease from running rampant through the livestock at the farm. He realized that the entire herd was either at risk or already infected, which led to him, Beth (Kelly Reilly), Zachariah (Marc Menchaca) and Azul (J. R. Villarreal) brutally shooting the animals one by one in a brutal sequence.

The slaughter was an attempt to protect the remaining livestock in the herd who were quarantined on the other side of the ranch. The decision created new problems for Beth and Rip, who were still trying to make the ranch profitable and were not faced with starting completely over.

Friday’s episode brought Dutton Ranch back to its roots after its parent show, Yellowstone, previously touched on topics related to farm life. Yellowstone initially introduced viewers to the Dutton family in 2018. The Paramount Network show came to an end in 2024, expanding its universe with Luke Grimes‘ CBS show Marshals and Dutton Ranch, which premiered in May.

Love Island USA‘s Vasana Montgomery is speaking out for the first time since being removed from the villa amid a racism scandal.

“I want to address a couple videos from my teen years that have recently resurfaced,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, June 3. “In those videos, I used a racial slur. I am embarrassed and disappointed by my words.”

Vasana noted that she wanted to take accountability for her actions.

“I take full responsibility for what I said and understand why it has hurt and upset people,” she continued. “Since then, I have grown a lot as a person and taken the time to educate myself, listen, learn, and better understand the impact that language can have.”

Did Love Island USA's Vasana Appear in Season 8 Premiere Before Her Exit?

She added: “That growth does not erase my mistake, and 1am not asking anyone to excuse it. I believe people should be held accountable for their actions, but I also believe in growth, learning, and becoming better. To anyone I hurt or disappointed, I am truly sorry.”

Vasana was cut from season 8 of Love Island USA after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Vasana was removed from the show before she got a chance to enter the villa. Both clips were leaked from her private social media, which meant producers weren’t privy to the posts while casting the season.

The Peacock dating show has previously weathered similar issues with Islanders when Yulissa Escobar left days into the experience in season 7 after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.

Cierra Ortega also faced backlash when a resurfaced social media post showed her using a slur. She was pulled from the villa and later issued an apology for her posts.

“Now that I’ve been back in the U.S. for about 48 hours and I’ve had the chance to process, I now feel like I’m at a space where I can speak about this without being highly emotional because I am not the victim in the situation,” Cierra said in an Instagram video in July 2025. “While I was in the villa, there were some posts that resurfaced from my past where I was very naively using an incredibly offensive and derogatory term. I want to first start by addressing not just anyone that I have hurt or deeply offended — but most importantly — the entire Asian community. 
I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry.”

Cierra admitted she didn’t know she was using a slur at the time.

“I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm and came with the history that it did or I never would have used it. I had no ill intention when I was using it but that’s absolutely no excuse because intent doesn’t excuse ignorance. 
It just doesn’t,” she noted. “I just need you to know that I am so sorry — but this is not an apology video. This is an accountability video. I do want to hold my hands up and say that I take accountability for using the word, but I do want it to be known that I genuinely had no idea that it was a slur. I had no idea of its meaning.”

After leaving the villa, Cierra said she found the online backlash “very hard to deal with,” adding, “I can do my best to drown out the noise and pay attention to the truth. But what’s been extremely, extremely difficult is the way people are approaching my family and my loved ones. They have had ICE called on them. My family doesn’t feel safe in their own home. 
I’m receiving death threats and there’s no need to fight hate with hate. I don’t think that that’s justice. If you want to know that you are heard and that I’m sorry and that I will move differently, I promise you that’s what will happen.”

Cierra promised to take the necessary steps to grow from the experience.

“I know that no apology could ever be enough for the harm that I’ve caused and the offense that’s taken place. I know that moving forward my actions and how I decide to live my life from here on out is going to speak louder than any apology ever could,” she said. “But I do need it to be known that I am sorry and I did mean no harm. Hopefully there are people out there that can use my mistake as a learning moment and to just be better because that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna take today and tomorrow and I’m gonna take strides to be better.”

Euphoria shocked viewers with Bishop betraying his boss Alamo — but when was story line revealed to the cast?

“I wasn’t aware, at first when I began filming, but I was made aware of it probably midway through filming,” Britt-Gibson, 39, told TVInsider on Wednesday, June 3. “And I just thought it was so beautifully done.”

Britt-Gibson said the narrative choice made sense, adding, “At that point, it felt very much in line with what Bishop would do, in my opinion. And so it felt very organic that that was gonna happen. When we actually got to film it, nothing about it felt like a shock or a surprise to me.”

During the Sunday, May 31, series finale, Bishop had a hero moment when he helped Ali (Colman Domingo) avenge Rue’s (Zendaya) death by removing bullets from Alamo’s (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) gun moments before a Western-style showdown.

Euphoria's Most Confusing Story Lines: From [Spoiler]'s Death to Unclear Betrayal

“It was incredible, because it’s such a fun set to be on. [Creator] Sam [Levinson] has cultivated a set that’s very welcoming, and it’s very open too,” Britt-Gibson explained. “I could go by video village and look at things, it never felt like we’re doing this intense thing and there is a lot that’s required of everyone to execute it properly, but it’s so well taken care of and you’re just so excited.”

He continued: “It’s a 10-day shoot and this is the fun part, and then you bring somebody like Coleman into the mix and it just makes it that much more of an experience because he’s just this light, this amazing human being, and totally incredible actor, so I had so much fun.”

When asked whether Bishop was always planning to cut ties with Alamo, Britt-Gibson replied, “Bishop is extremely calculated, and it’s always chess, not checkers for him, so the opportunity presented itself for this to be the moment to do whatever he had planned to do, but it’s not like some spur of the moment like thing.”

Britt-Gibson saw this always being the plan for his character.

Why Did Bishop Betray Alamo in Euphoria's Finale Before Brutal Death?

“It’s very much in his mind’s eye that this person has to go, because Alamo has shown that the only person he truly cares about is himself, and so it’s Rue one day, and who knows who’s next, you know?” he said. “Alamo has loyalty to no one but himself, so a man who has loyalty to no one but himself is essentially a threat to everyone, and it’s time for him to go.”

Euphoria didn’t show where Bishop ended up after Alamo’s death but Britt-Gibson admitted he had a vision in mind, saying, “I actually know [what happens], but I don’t even want to say it because I think about how incredible the fans of this show are, and I think about how much time and energy and love and pageant that they’ve put into this show and invested into it.”

He concluded: “So I want them to be able to run with whatever they want it to be because it’s their show and it belongs to them, and I really love that this gets to be theirs and whatever they want it to be, it is. Absolutely [I am happy with Bishop’s ending].”

Euphoria is now streaming on HBO Max.

In the search to find love, the Islanders on Love Island USA are often forced to depart the villa after failing to make a lasting connection.

Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa. The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.

While the islanders are filming nonstop for weeks, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.

Peacock’s popular dating show returned in June with contestants Aniya Harvey, Beatriz Hatz, Bryce Alakai Dettloff, KC Chandler, Mackenzie “Kenzie” Annis, Melanie Moreno, Sincere Rhea, Sean Reifel, Trinity Tatum and Zach Georgiou.

While the Islanders paired off during Day 1, it didn’t take long for those bonds to shift. There was also the arrival of bombshells Gabriel Vasconcelos and Kayda Bosse, who tempted several Islanders to reconsider their connections.

Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.

“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,” read their statement. “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”

Host Ariana Madix has also had to previously issue a message for those Love Island USA viewers who are taking things too far when expressing their frustrations with the show.

“I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,” she said during a June 2025 episode of Aftersun. “Don’t be contacting people’s families. Don’t be doxxing people.”

Ariana questioned the behavior she saw on social media.

“Don’t be going on islanders’ pages and saying rude things. You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don’t have their phones,” she noted. “So we are giving you a chance because this is a fun, amazing and beautiful show. We should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves.”

Sean Reifel

The (former) police officer was the first to leave after Beatriz chose to follow her connection with Gabriel. Sean formed a bond with Kenzie, but newcomer Corbin Mims picked her as his match first … which left Sean with no one else in his corner.
