It Ends with Us follows Lily Bloom (Lively), a "complicated" individual who thinks she has found true love after meeting neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Bardoni) in Boston.
Her relationship, however, is thrown into turmoil when she reconnects with childhood sweetheart Atlas Corrigan (Sklenar), making her reassess her decisions.
Sklenar stars as Spencer Dutton on 1923, which serves as a prequel to Yellowstone and a sequel to 1883.
The Paramount+ series, which was recently renewed for an eight-part second season, stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren in the lead roles, and creator Taylor Sheridan has revealed how the idea for the prequel series came about.

"I know [Paramount] read the scripts, but they don’t read scripts, so when they read the last episode of 1883, I don’t think they digested what had just happened, even though I made it quite clear from the very beginning," he said.
"The story I heard is Bob Bakish watched it and said: 'What do we do in season two?' I [told them] there is no season two. They’re like, there better be a f**king season two because we already picked it up. I said I’ll come up with another peek into the window and I sat there and tried to look at it," he added.
Yellowstone, 1883 and 1923 all stream on Paramount+.
