All we can do is speculate about Monica’s absence from the show. Kayce and Monica may be separated in “Y: Marshals,” at least at the

beginning. Is it possible that the show is going to kill off Monica, just as Costner’s John Dutton was killed off in “Yellowstone” during

season 5? It’s certainly not impossible, though that would undoubtedly unleash a wave of big thoughts and opinions from fans of the show.

 

 

Undoubtedly, the show’s producers are aware of this glaring absence, and it will be addressed; that much is certain. It could be something as simple as a contract negotiation getting in the way of Asbille wanting to sign on for the show. What we know for sure is that there are several other “Yellowstone” spin-off shows in development, including a new sequel series, another prequel, and the much-discussed “The Madison.” It’s hard to imagine that Monica is going to just be left on the sidelines.

Spencer Hudnut (“SEAL Team”) wrote the pilot for “Y: Marshals,” in addition to serving as showrunner and executive producer. Greg Yaitanes (“Presumed Innocent”) is directing the first episode. Sheridan executive produces alongside David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Grimes, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Greg Yaitanes, Michael Friedman, and Keith Cox.

 

 

There are few American archetypes that are more enduring and iconic than that of cowboys in the Wild West. From pulp paperback novels to the silver screen, Westerns have been thrilling audiences worldwide for over a century, with that distinction also spreading to television shows. Westerns once dominated the television airwaves in the United States, with some of the longest-running shows in the medium’s history coming from the genre. As a testament to their timeless appeal, Westerns have seen a resurgence of popularity recently.

As their ubiquity solidified, Westerns have expanded beyond their usual American Southwest period piece setting with grounded stakes. The genre has proven flexible enough to incorporate different global environments, time periods, even lacing in elements of the supernatural and science fiction. What are constants within the genre are people standing up in largely lawless and remote areas to defend themselves from those that would openly exploit them. Here are the 15 best Western TV shows ever ranked, ready for your next frontier-centric binge.
