What To Watch This Week 11.11.24
MONDAY
Yellowstone, Paramount+ UK
Following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes and some creator-actor tiffs, the western hit is finally back for part two of its fifth and final season. Kelly Reilly (Pride & Prejudice, Flight) will return as the foul-mouthed, savagely funny Beth Dutton, but Kevin Costner – who plays her father John Dutton III – won't. But don't worry, there’s still plenty of drama in store.

FRIDAY
Gladiator II
Paul Mescal stars in the highly anticipated Gladiator II. Ridley Scott's original film revived the 'sword and sandals' genre, but can the filmmaker conjure the same magic a second time? This sequel picks up 20 years after the climactic fates of Russell Crowe's battle-worn gladiator Maximus and Joaquin Phoenix's tyrannical emperor. Now, Mescal's character Lucius – Maximus's son – is back in Rome to avenge his father's death and fulfil his destiny after being enslaved by the Roman army. But in a city rife with hidden agendas, Lucius faces enemies at every turn. The cast also features Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen and Denzel Washington.
