Quick tip: New episodes of Yellowstone aren't currently on Paramount Plus or Peacock in the US. The short, possibly frustrating answer is that new episodes of Yellowstone aren't on Paramount Plus or Peacock in the US (but Paramount Plus does have the new episodes in Canada and the UK). The show airs on the Paramount Network, not CBS or Showtime, so Paramount Plus doesn't carry any episodes of Yellowstone. Additionally, Yellowstone is on Paramount Plus in the UK and Canada, which might be the source of some confusion, in addition to the name similarity between the Paramount Network cable channel and the Paramount Plus streaming service.

After playing to the coasts, Hollywood is leaning toward faith and family-based shows and films. The Prime Video series will be the first to come out of Amazon's deal with The Wonder Project, a Christian-focused production company, for faith-based films and TV shows. After playing to the coasts with shows that embraced progressive themes, Hollywood is leaning into broadly appealing fare. That shift has included a combination of undeniably faith-based, conservative-themed, and family-aimed entertainment, agents, producers, and industry experts say. "Conservative, faith-based, family, is not a bad place to look," Thompson said.

Major Wall Street banks remain bullish on Alphabet following the tech titan's strong third-quarter results . On Tuesday, Google's parent company reported earnings of $2.12 per share, while analysts polled by LSEG had predicted $1.85 per share. The company's revenue grew 15% year over year to $88.27 billion, more than the same quarter last year and the $86.30 billion analysts had anticipated. "We think shares could remain choppy as we work through the Search remedies, given the large impact zone, but performance in 3Q was solid." Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs' Eric Sheridan also commended the firm for its strong investment cycle, which includes investments into Google's Cloud infrastructure and more AI deployment through its application ecosystem.

Several analysts maintained their buy ratings ahead of the results and expect AI-driven gains to appear in its search and YouTube segments. Still, the consensus revenue estimate implies Alphabet could post its slowest year-over-year growth since the third quarter of 2023 . Analysts polled by LSEG expect Alphabet to earn $1.85 per share on $86.3 billion in revenue, implying year-over-year earnings and revenue growth of 19.1% and 12.5%, respectively. Like Sheridan, Black expects Alphabet's AI enhancements to support search and YouTube growth, as AI drives efficiency for advertisers. "While advertisers may express some concerns around consumer sentiment, GOOG Search remains a 'utility-like' component of advertiser budgets," he said.
