Outlast: The Jungle, the third season of Netflix’s Outlast, drops 16 people in the Panamanian jungle for a shot at a $1 million prize. All each contestant needs to do is work with a team of strangers and outlast the competition.
The series premiered in March 2023, followed by season two in September 2024. Season three arrives on June 10, 2026 with the release of the first six episodes. The two remaining episodes will stream on June 17.
“This season felt like throwing gasoline on the format. We traded the frozen isolation of Alaska for the heat and volatility of Panama, and everything changed: the survival, the strategy, and the social dynamics,” stated executive producer and showrunner Mike Odair. “Having now seen two seasons of the game, these contestants arrived ready to test alliances and push the social experiment further than ever before, creating a season that feels more primal, unpredictable, and intense from the very start. And as a showrunner, cast is everything, and this may be our most dynamic group yet.”
Additional executive producers include Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan, Emma Ho, and Ryan O’Dowd. The series is produced by Aggregate Films and BBC Studios.

Netflix’s synopsis reads, “Sixteen strangers are dropped into the unforgiving Panamanian jungle and forced to survive in teams, where scarce resources, brutal conditions, and shifting alliances push them to their limits. With the constant threat of being cast out, survival becomes as much about strategy as endurance. In a game where no one can win alone, only those who hold their team together can outlast and claim the $1 million prize.”

Widow’s Bay Plot, Courtesy of Apple TV:
In Widow’s Bay, something lurks beneath the surface. Mayor Tom Loftis (Rhys) is desperate to revive his struggling community. There’s no Wi-Fi, spotty cellular reception, and he must contend with superstitious locals who believe their island is cursed. He wants these people to respect him. They don’t. They think he is soft and cowardly. And he is. But Loftis is determined to build a better future for his teenage son and turn the island into a tourist destination.
Miraculously, he succeeds: tourists are finally coming. Unfortunately, the locals were right. After decades of calm, the old stories that seemed too ludicrous to be true start happening again.

CBS’s Tracker season three, episode 21 adds a much-needed jolt of energy to the season with guest star Jensen Ackles returning as Russell. But before we say hello again to Ackles, episode 21 kicks off with Colter (Justin Hartley) rescuing a teenager named Wally who crashed his motorbike in the mountains.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode 21 – “Chrono Statis” – and there are spoilers ahead.)
Russell’s waiting back at Colter’s campsite, and Colter pulls him in for a hug. Colter didn’t expect him and Russell’s busy cooking as Colter grabs a couple of beers. Russell’s found info on Dr. Serena Jukic; she changed her name and went dark. He also confirmed she was working with their dad on the chrono statis project in Alaska. Russell volunteers to go with Colter to talk to her. But first they need to head home; their mom is selling their childhood home.
Russell hangs out outside while Colter has his first face-to-face talk with his mom since finding out about her involvement in his dad’s death. She’s sorry she lied but it was all to protect her daughter and sons. Asked about Alaska, she confesses Ashton changed after he came back home. He was angry and broken, paranoid about the government coming to get him. She believes he’d lost touch with reality, and it wasn’t safe for her or the kids to be around him. When he wouldn’t let them leave, she called Otto but didn’t tell him to kill Colter’s dad. Otto did that on his own.
She only let Colter think that Russell killed their dad to keep them from looking into his death. Colter’s happy she’s selling the house and thinks she deserves a fresh start.
Colter and Russell head off to a remote area of Nevada to speak with Serena Jukic (Jeri Ryan). Paul opens the door and orders them to leave, but Serena defuses the situation and allows them to come inside. She confirms she worked with their dad on a project that took geniuses and stretched their abilities to their limits. Serena reveals their research was weaponized, and Russell believes our government was trying to keep up with Russia in using psychics and people with paranormal abilities. Colter sounds skeptical but Serena insists they witnessed it with their own eyes.
Ashton became disillusioned when they brought in children to test. However, he went along with it until a child died in Alaska. Ashton tried to shut down the program, so they worked at discrediting him. She stayed with the program after it left Alaska until they turned against her over a test subject named Danny. She got attached and tried to protect him when he said his mom was still alive. (The government told her that Danny’s mom was dead.) Serena found out the program killed his dad and convinced his mom that Danny was dead, too.
Once she learned the truth, the government came after her. The program’s since been expanded but is still top secret. She still worries about Danny every day but can’t look for him. Colter promises that he and Russell will search for him.
A van’s been checking out Serena’s place recently and Colter and Russell suggest that Paul and Serena go into hiding.
Colter checks in with Randy (Chris Lee) to see if he’s found any info on Danny Kellerman. An old newspaper article confirms that Danny and his dad supposedly died in a car crash. He’s 23 now and Randy’s aged him up to see how he’d look today. As for the surveillance van, it appears to be the government. Randy notices that Serena’s Wi-Fi slows when the van’s nearby and traces its routing address back to the van. He locates it and sends a pin to Colter.
Colter breaks into the van, which is full of surveillance equipment. He hides in the back when the driver returns and after they leave the parking lot, Colter holds the driver at gunpoint. The driver tries to disarm him but Colter’s a better fighter. The driver claims he doesn’t know his boss’s name, but Colter gets it out of him with a few more threats.
Russell meets with Belton (Billions‘ David Costabile), one of his former friends inside the agency, and learns the chrono statis project is still operating. It’s incredibly dangerous to be poking around in this project, and he advises Russell to stop asking questions. Belton recognizes Danny Kellerman’s name but can’t confirm he’s still alive.
Randy’s discovered the company paying for Serena’s surveillance is a shell company owned by DORIX Logistics, a private military contractor indirectly connected to the DoD. They deal in advanced weaponry and might know where Danny is. Colter asks Randy to keep digging.
Russell rejoins Colter and informs him that the chrono statis project is now an Unacknowledged Special Access Program (USAP). The kids are being used for combat now, including help with remote target acquisitions. “It’s crazy stuff,” says Russell.
If Danny’s still alive, he’s probably screwed up.
A switch in locations shows Danny and others are still experimented on and tested against their will.
Russell wonders if their dad ever used them for experiments. They recall different tests he used to give them, and Russell reveals he’s seen remote viewing in person and knows that it works. It happened once when they needed to know the coordinates of a weapons cache, and the man who did the remote viewing was absolutely accurate.
Russell recognizes the name DORIX Logistics and calls Randy. He suggests that Randy look up pharmaceutical orders related to neurological disorders, and Randy sees a large order for sedatives and antipsychotics. There are repeat orders, all going to an address outside of Twin Falls, Idaho.
Russell’s contact confirms to his boss that Russell and Colter are diving into the chrono statis project. The boss asks if they were warned what would happen if they didn’t back off, and the contact confirms that he told them.
The boss warns him to figure out a way to take care of this problem. He then calls a hit man and gives him Colter’s and Russell’s names.
Russell and Colter pull up outside the location in the dead of night and see quite a few well-armed guards. Reenie calls and warns them DORIX is incredibly dangerous.
Colter starts a fire in a trash can outside and he and Russell attack a guard when he comes to investigate. They get his entry card, access the outer gate, and enter the facility while avoiding other guards. The brothers split up to look for Danny and other kids, but a guard gets the drop on Russell.
Colter locates Danny and informs him that Dr. Jukic asked him to find him. Danny refuses to go with Colter, threatening to push a button that summons armed guards. Colter promises he can help keep him safe, but Danny pushes the button anyway.
“You don’t understand. I can’t leave,” he says as the episode ends.
CBS’s Marshals episode 12 opens in the aftermath of Garrett’s death. Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) helps Kayce (Luke Grimes) clean up the barn after the fire, and Cal admits he thought East Camp was really helping Garrett. Dolly and her dad, Tom, are also helping out, and Tate agrees with Tom when he suggests a bulldozer would be quicker.
(The following is a recap of episode 12, “The Devil at Home,” and there are spoilers.)
Tom’s willing to have his guys put up a new barn whenever Kayce’s ready. And although he still wants to buy East Camp, his offer of help has nothing to do with his interest in owning the property.
Belle (Arielle Kebbel) is out with her husband and son when a man warns her the casino wants the $20,000 she owes. She claims she’s good for it and he lets her off the hook…for now.
Tate (Brecken Merrill) returns from fishing with Tom (Chris Mulkey) and tells his dad that Tom reminds him a lot of his grandfather—except John swore more. They discuss Tom wanting to buy East Camp, and Tate doesn’t care if he does. To him, the house is where Monica got sick and died.
Andrea (Ash Santos), Kayce, and Cal down beers at the bar, and Andrea points out that Garrett seemed to have made a lot of friends in his short time there. Andrea isn’t warming up to Montana, and being kidnapped by the local militia hasn’t helped.
Kayce confesses he’s considering selling East Camp.
Miles (Tatanka Means) and Maddie (Morgan Lindholm) are still going strong, and Cal tells his daughter he’s okay with them dating. He just wants her to be happy.
The team’s next assignment is finding fugitive Cody Raynor who carjacked and killed a student two years ago. A postman spotted Cody in town.
However, Andrea’s got a different task to handle first. Their boss, Harry Gifford (Brett Cullen), invites her to join him for lunch with DOJ bigwigs. Andrea doesn’t want any part of it and doesn’t want to think about her kidnapping. Gifford insists she was a hero and if telling her story to the DOJ keeps the unit funded, then that’s what she’s going to do.
Kayce, Belle, and Cal walk past kids on swings, guns out and ready to enter a building. This seems super unsafe but fortunately the action moves away from the children when Kayce spots Cody across the street. They open fire into his car as he flees. Cody crashes and the impact exposes a hidden stash of cash in the backseat.
Kayce thinks it might be $1 million.
Back at the station, Gifford finds it unbelievable that Cody claims he didn’t know about the hidden cash. Also, Cody had a weapon used at a shooting six months ago in Texas involving two Mexican cartels. It’s possible he stole one of their cars and the cash and gun were already inside it. He must have fled Texas for Montana to get ahead of the Jalisco cartel.
Gifford believes Cody has knowledge of the cartels that the DEA wants.
Miles arrives for a meeting with Chairman Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) as he’s arguing over the future of the mine on tribal land. A councilmember believes they should allow the government to move forward because it will bring money to tribal members in need. Thomas is adamant that it will just make more of their people sick.
The team learns that Cody was making repeated visits to Broken Rock. They wonder what a carjacker would have been doing there and head to the place where he was staying. There’s no one home and just outside, Kayce spots a trap door. Inside the hole are barrels full of fentanyl. It’s only then that they realize Cody is actually part of the Jalisco cartel; he’s not on the run from it.
Gifford is shocked that the cartels have infiltrated Montana. He wants the team to find something juicy to give to DC.
Kayce and Miles inform Rainwater that they’ve found a major stash house on the rez. Rainwater believes the discovery will undermine his case to keep the government’s hands off tribal land. The government will point out the tribe is poisoning itself.
Kayce and Miles promise to handle the cartel if Rainwater wants to continue his fight against the mine.
Belle’s preparing the cash from Cody’s car to hand over to the DEA when Cal warns her that she’s past due on her security clearance. She reacts weirdly and Cal wonders if she’s okay. Belle claims she’s fine, failing to mention she’s $20,000 in debt.
The owner of the property where the team found the fentanyl is a 70-year-old woman with dementia. However, her daughter recently married Hector Diaz from Jalisco. The cartel sent him to establish a place on Broken Rock, and he’s been contacting a shot caller named Guzman. Miles thinks they can bring down the network by bringing in Diaz.
The team believes they’re onto a way to push the cartel out of Montana. Unfortunately, Gifford and DEA Agent Dendry deliver the news that the cartel managed to get to Cody and he’s dead. Dendry’s upset that Cal’s team interrupted their investigation of Cody’s connections, and he warns them to stay away from his cartel investigation.
Gifford delivers new orders: the team is off the case.
The team’s upset that they’re sidelined, and Miles can’t believe they’re letting it go. (He just learned his childhood friend Sabrina OD’d on fentanyl.) Andrea confirms the drugs they confiscated are linked to spikes in fentanyl deaths. Miles takes his anger and frustration out on a punching bag, enraged that he can’t keep others from suffering Sabrina’s fate.
Miles knows Diaz is responsible and Belle reminds him that range justice isn’t the way to go. Sabrina wouldn’t want that.
Kayce takes Dolly (Ellyn Jameson) into town, and she continues to pitch for her dad to purchase East Camp. They need more land, and she wonders if Kayce’s even sure what he wants at this point. “Everything I’ve done in my life is out of a sense of duty. ‘Want’ isn’t a concept I’m familiar with,” says Kayce.
The following day Maddie shows up at her dad’s office asking about Miles. He didn’t show up for their date last night and he’s not answering his phone. She asks her dad to please find Miles.
And where is Miles? Staking out Hector Diaz.
Of course, the team knows Miles is after Hector, against orders. The tribal police checked out Diaz’s place and he’s not home. GPS shows Miles is on Broken Rock but not near his home, which means he’s likely tracking Diaz.
Diaz gets out of his car and Miles follows him after grabbing his weapon and body armor. Miles watches from behind a tree as Hector meets with the cartel. Unfortunately, he’s not very stealthy and snaps a branch. The cartel guys head his way.
Simultaneously, the team is heading to Miles’ car. As they’re approaching, they hear gunfire in the woods. They get there in time to save Miles and wipe out the cartel. Miles shoots Diaz in the leg as he tries to escape.
Kayce catches up with Miles as he’s about to finish off Diaz. Kayce warns him that his memories of Sabrina will be tarnished if he kills Diaz in cold blood. Miles makes the smart choice, for once.
The snow’s coming down as Rainwater and the tribal police help at the scene of the shootout. Rainwater reveals that the grandmother just wanted her own house and didn’t know she was inviting the cartel onto the rez. The rez is under attack from multiple sides: toxins, the cartel, and human trafficking.
Back at the station, Cal’s furious that Miles jeopardized himself and his teammates. He suspends Miles and asks him to hand over his badge and weapon.
Gifford informs Andrea that a spot’s opened in DC and it’s hers if she wants it. Andrea doesn’t reply.
Belle finds Cal lying on the couch, upset that this is the nail in the coffin between him and his daughter. Belle realizes Cal always acts like he doesn’t have much time left, and Cal finally confesses the pain in his neck and shoulder is caused by a tumor in his lung. It’s not until he says out loud that it’s a rare symptom of cancer that he gets scared.
Cal admits that he doesn’t want to handle his illness alone, and she assures him he won’t. She sits down next to him, and he puts his head on her shoulder.
Kayce invites Tom and Dolly over to East Camp and recalls he was on the same porch when he sold the Yellowstone. Monica was the only thing he ever wanted and now she’s gone. He admits the Yellowstone robbed his father of his chance to be happy in his last few years. Kayce doesn’t want to live like that.
Tom understands what attempting to take over a family legacy can do to someone. He tried it until he realized it wasn’t the life he wanted. Tom believes Kayce won’t be free until he sheds what’s weighing him down.
Kayce wonders what a deal to sell would look like and asks Tom to walk him through it. Is the last Dutton sibling actually going to leave the Yellowstone behind?

David E. Kelley’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles has been renewed by Apple TV for season two. The comedy starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nicole Kidman premiered on April 15, 2026, and the renewal announcement came just days ahead of season one’s May 20th finale.
Based on Rufi Thorpe’s novel, the series stars Emmy winner Nick Offerman, Thaddea Graham, Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden, Emmy winner Greg Kinnear, Michael Angarano, Rico Nasty, and Lindsey Normington.
“Margo’s Got Money Troubles was an irresistible proposition to me from day one,” stated creator, executive producer, writer, and showrunner David E. Kelley. “I fell in love with Rufi’s world and unpredictable characters, and it’s been rewarding to see audiences embrace this series. We can’t wait to continue this story with our partners at Apple and A24.”
Apple TV’s announcement didn’t confirm any details on the upcoming second season.
“Embarking on the adventure of bringing Margo to the screen has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” stated executive producer and star Elle Fanning. “When I first read Rufi’s stunning story, it felt wholly original and, most importantly, human, and then with David’s writing, along with our epic cast of heart-wrenching performances, it truly felt like we had something special. Having the opportunity to bring more of Margo’s troubles, creativity, fearless spirit, and authenticity to audiences with a second season makes me incredibly happy and excited. I can promise everyone they’re in for a wild, messy, and beautiful ride.”
Additional executive producers include Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, author Rufi Thorpe, Dakota Fanning, Brittany Kahan Ward, Per Saari, Matthew Tinker, Eva Anderson, and Boo Killebrew.
Apple TV offered this synopsis:
“Margo’s Got Money Troubles is a bold, heartwarming, and comedic family drama following recent college dropout and aspiring writer Margo (Fanning), the daughter of an ex-Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and ex-pro wrestler (Offerman), as she’s forced to make her way with a new baby, a mounting pile of bills, and a dwindling amount of ways to pay them.”
The series is produced by A24 for Apple TV. Eva Anderson will serve as co-showrunner with Kelley on season two.
Justin Kirk, Ben Feldman, James Austin Johnson, and Rose Abdoo guest star on the one-hour Ghosts season five finale. The two-parter is airing back-to-back on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at 9pm ET/PT.
“Up the Creek” Plot: When Woodstone’s future is put in jeopardy, Sam and Jay join forces with the ghosts to protect the mansion by securing its place in history on part one of the two-part fifth season finale. Akilah Green and Skander Halim wrote episode 21, and Richie Keen directed both episode 21 and episode 22.
“Across the Pond” Plot: A trip abroad could determine Woodstone’s fate. Meanwhile, a major career opportunity takes Sam out of town, leaving others to step in and help with the ghosts. Brian Bahe and Greg Worswick wrote episode 22.
Season five stars Rose McIver as Sam, Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay, Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, and Richie Moriarty as Pete. Danielle Pinnock is Alberta, Asher Grodman is Trevor, Román Zaragoza stars as Sasappis, Rebecca Wisocky plays Hetty, Devan Chandler Long is Thorfinn, and Sheila Carrasco plays Flower.
Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decided to convert Woodstone Mansion, which Sam inherited, into a bed & breakfast—only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.
The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Scott Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Sam’s ancestor (Wisocky), to name a few.
The opening of the B&B and Jay’s new restaurant are a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they will gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant.
