Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International “Succession” star Brian Cox will control the fate of contestants on James Bond reality show “007’s Road to a Million.” The Golden Globe winner has been cast as the enigmatic “Controller” on the forthcoming Prime Video series, which will see contestants competing in teams of two on a global adventure to win a £1 million cash prize. Filmed in many Bond locations — from the Scottish Highlands to Venice and Jamaica — contestants must correctly answer questions hidden in the different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge. From the sounds of Prime Video’s description of Cox’s character, it seems the streamer is leaning into the actor’s recent turn as “Succession” patriarch Logan Roy. “The Controller is villainous and cultured, and revels in the increasingly difficult journeys and questions the contestants must overcome,” reads the synopsis. “He has millions of pounds to give away — up to £1m per couple — but he doesn’t make it easy. Whilst he lurks in the shadows, he is watching and controlling everything.”

Logan Roy is going 007.

The Post exclusively reported that “Yellowstone” will end after five seasons. This comes amidst rumored tension between Sheridan, 52, and Costner, 68. On Friday, a source told the Daily Mail that Sheridan developed a “God complex” on the set of his hit Paramount Network show. The source alleged that Costner, who is also an executive producer on the show, felt dismissed when he raised concerns about the direction that the story was taking — and that he was told to “stick to acting.” However, “Kevin will forever be proud of and grateful for ‘Yellowstone’ and the cast is like family to him,” the source told the outlet. “He just felt like ‘Yellowstone’ is headed in a direction that was not in line with their initial vision, and he was met with criticism, including that he should just stick to acting.”No date has been set yet for when filming will begin for the second half of the final season. The ranching family drama, which follows John Dutton (Costner, who won a Golden Globe for the role) and his adult kids, including Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley) and the late Lee (David Annable), has been a smash hit. Sheridan’s breakout hit has spawned several spinoff shows, including “1883” starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill; “1923” starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren; the upcoming “6666;” and yet another spinoff, whose title has yet to be announced, starring Matthew McConaughey.
