A '10/10' movie from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is landing on Netflix this August.
Sheridan is known for his gripping dramas, with Yellowstone considered one of the 'greatest TV shows' of all time.
And this 2018 movie - hailed 'hauntingly beautiful' by fans - is currently streaming on Prime Video but will be removed in a matter of days before joining Netflix.
It features a critically acclaimed performance from Jeremy Renner, whose Paramount+ show Mayor of Kingstown has been confirmed to be returning with its fourth season on October 26.

Anyway, the neo-Western crime thriller stars Renner as Cory Lambert, a US Fish and Wildlife Service tracker with deep ties to the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. Elizabeth Olsen plays Jane Banner, a rookie FBI agent.
The pair team up to solve a murder: the body of 18-year-old Natalie Hanson is found frozen in the snow, and the investigation pulls them into a chilling web of violence and grief.
As they dig deeper, the pair uncover disturbing truths about the brutality against Native women and the systemic failures that leave many cases untouched. The movie in question is called Wind River, and it's the third instalment of Sheridan's exploration of the modern-day American frontier, following Sicario and Hell or High Water.
What can we say - Sheridan loves a spin-off, with a number of Yellowstone prequels already out there, and more off-shoots in the works.
Anyway, Wind River has racked up a 90 percent Rotten Tomatoes score across more than 25,000 audience reviews.
Critics, meanwhile, awarded it 87 percent across 251 reviews, with their consensus praising its 'smart writing, strong cast, and a skillfully rendered setting that delivers the bitter chill promised by its title.'
Fan were in agreement, as one hailed the movie '10/10' and reckoned it was Oscar-worthy.
"Suspenseful, gripping, and beautifully done," a second reckoned, as a third said: "I was so taken aback by the quality of this movie. When you think about movies transporting you in space and time, I can't think of one that does it better than Wind River."
"Hauntingly beautiful film. Tells a story that needs to be told. Tough but important," another social media user said.
It's also racked up an impressive 33.4 million hours viewed, according to figures from FlixPatrol.
The movie is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, but is leaving the site on Saturday, August 30.
From August 28, it joins Netflix in the country. And according to JustWatch, the movie is available to stream for free via Plex in the US.
