breaking viewership. Taylor Sheridan’s Western universe now has multiple spinoffs, including 1883 and 1923, that were both successful in their own rights. With one of Yellowstone’s main stars, Kevin Costner’s exit, the series concluded in 2024 and paved the way for Marshals, focusing on Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes) and life after Yellowstone.

Many characters died during the five-season run of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone. Luckily for CBS, Kayce Dutton wasn’t one of them.

Now, the fan-fave character played by Luke Grimes is being spun off into his own series, titled Marshals (formerly known as Y: Marshals). Notably, it’s the first show within the sprawling Yellowstone franchise to debut on a broadcast network. Read on for everything to know about Marshals before it arrives on CBS in March.

Grimes reprises his role of Kayce Dutton, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and livestock agent, and the youngest son of John (Kevin Costner) and Evelyn (Gretchen Mol). He’s joined in the ensemble by Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin, Arielle Kebbel as Belle Skinner, Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz, and Tatanka Means as Miles Kittle. Kayce’s son, Tate, is played once again by Brecken Merrill, and his allies include Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater and Mo Brings Plenty as Mo. It’s unclear if Kayce’s wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille), will appear on the spin-off.

The logline, per CBS: “With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce and his teammates must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families, which for Kayce includes his son, Tate, and his confidantes from the Broken Rock reservation.” Despite its enormous scope, Marshals will have a budget “that is in line with other broadcast series,” according to CBS President Amy Reisenbach.

On Jan. 23, CBS released a second trailer that confirmed the new title of the show was Marshals, and no longer Y: Marshals. “My family’s had this land for almost 150 years,” Kayce proclaims in the two-minute video. “The only thing I ever wanted was taken from me.” The Yellowstone survivor is later told by Pete Calvin, “I know you got your own demons to conquer, but jumping back into the fire is going to do you well.” March 1 can’t come soon enough!

The internet exploded on Nov. 24 when CBS released the first footage of Marshals. “I fought every day to get out from under the weight of the Yellowstone,” Kayce says at the beginning of the one-minute, 26-second video trailer. “I’ve lost my teammates, my parents, even my brothers. I know that sometimes good men have to do bad things. But I’m trying to find a new beginning.” The clip introduces Kayce’s new team of marshals, and ends with Thomas Rainwater proclaiming, “Duttons are all born with a killer instinct. But you’re not a killer, Kayce. You’re a protector.”

The sequel series is developed by Spencer Hudnut (SEAL Team), who will serve as the showrunner and an executive producer. Franchise mastermind Taylor Sheridan will receive an executive producer credit, but his level of involvement remains TBD following his departure from Paramount to NBC. Other executive producers include Grimes, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari.

In the series finale of Yellowstone, which aired Dec. 15, 2024, Kayce engineered a deal to sell the Dutton Ranch to Thomas Rainwater and his tribe for $1.25 an acre. That unwittingly fulfilled a promise his ancestor James Dutton (Tim McGraw) made to return the land to the tribe after seven generations when he bought it in prequel series 1883. As a condition of the deal, athe land could never be developed, and Kayce and his family kept a small parcel of land to live on.

Marshals is just one of two Yellowstone sequel series in the works. The other is Dutton Ranch, starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, which has been greenlit by Paramount+. Three additional upcoming projects include The Madison (a spin-off described as “a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana”), 1944 (a prequel to that specific year in the Dutton legacy), and 6666 (to be set at the 6666 Ranch, a historic real-life ranch in Texas that Sheridan partially owns).
