Welcome back to What I’m Hearing. I’m trying to stay away from non-Olympics news, but readers know I love writing about Yellowstone and Taylor Sheridan, and TV Line reported today that Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell are starring in a new “spin-off.” The story left a few WIH readers confused because there was no mention of the original Yellowstone cast, and it was unclear if Russell is stepping in for the supposed Matthew McConaughey role.

Welcome back to What I’m Hearing. I’m still on vacation, coming at you from the WiFi-enabled Vista Lodge of my undisclosed mountain retreat.

I’m trying to stay away from non-Olympics news, but readers know I love writing about Yellowstone and Taylor Sheridan, and TV Line reported today that Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell are starring in a new “spin-off.” The story left a few WIH readers confused because there was no mention of the original Yellowstone cast, and it was unclear if Russell is stepping in for the supposed Matthew McConaughey role.
