Paramount is planning to shoot a modern day Western in Georgia starting next month called “The Rescue,” starring two actors from the “Yellowstone” universe.

According to Deadline, Hassie Harrison, who played recurring character Laramie in seasons 3 through 5 on “Yellowstone,” will star alongside Brandon Sklenar, who starred for two seasons in the “Yellowstone” prequel “1923″ with Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford.

 

 

Former Yellowstone star Luke Grimes is set to reprise his character of Kayce Dutton in a new spinoff, and in a new interview, he opens up about the reasons for the upcoming show changing its name just months before it’s set to premiere.

 

Grimes tells Entertainment Tonight that the decision for Y: Marshals to drop the Y and change the title to Marshals comes down to perception.

 

“I think they just wanted to make sure people knew it was a Yellowstone world, Taylor Sheridan world kind of a show,” he says in regard to the Y being included in the working title.

 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a representative from CBS said on Jan. 7 that Y: Marshals was always intended as just a working title and had always been subject to change.

The Y was “always considered silent” as far as the network was concerned, according to that rep.

The Y remains in the logo as part of the branding of the show but no longer appears in the title.

What Is Marshals?
Marshals is an upcoming CBS show that is a spinoff from Yellowstone, following the character of Kayce Dutton as he leaves the Dutton Ranch and undertakes a new beginning.

THR speculated that since Yellowstone and Marshals creator Taylor Sheridan has signed a new deal with CBS and will be leaving Paramount — which still holds the rights to Yellowstone — the title change had something to do with bad blood between the two competing networks, or the desire to leave behind the old branding.

The show stars Grimes as Kayce Dutton, the youngest Dutton sibling. He’s taken a job as a U.S. Marshal in Montana, continuing in the law enforcement work he had once intended to leave behind.

Other familiar Yellowstone faces will appear in Marshals alongside Grimes.

Brecken Merrill is set to reprise his role as Kayce’s son, Tate, and Gil Birmingham and Mo Brings Plenty also return in their previous roles as Thomas Rainwater and Mo.

Kelsey Asbille — who played Monica Dutton on Yellowstone — is conspicuously absent from the show’s trailers and promotional materials.

What Happens in the Trailer for Marshals?
The first look at the new show is brief, and it focuses on a solemn-looking Kayce Dutton considering his new direction.

“I’m changing paths, trying to find a new beginning,” he says, followed by footage of Kayce chasing an SUV on horseback:
