“Yellowstone”’s “Marshals”: Everything to Know About the Spinoff
Yellowstone has come to an end, but Kayce Dutton’s story hasn’t, and now, fans will get to follow along in a new spinoff.
Officially announced in May 2025, Marshals will feature the youngest Dutton son, played by Luke Grimes, as he puts his ranching days behind him and joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals in Montana, according to Deadline.

Though the show was originally titled Y: Marshals, it was renamed to just Marshals in January 2026, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Unlike Yellowstone, which was broadcast on the Paramount Network, Marshals will be a CBS original, airing on Sunday nights.
Marshals joins a slate of future Yellowstone spinoffs, including 6666, 1944 and The Madison. Three other Yellowstone spinoffs — including 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves and 1923 — have already debuted.
Marshals will see Kayce “join an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence,” per the show’s official logline.
Kayce’s new career trajectory isn’t unexpected. In the series finale of Yellowstone, which aired in December 2024, fans saw the youngest son save Yellowstone Ranch by selling the land to Broken Rock Reservation.
It was the deal of a lifetime for High Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), who paid $1.25 an acre, the price Kayce’s ancestors paid when they settled there.
For the low price, Rainwater agreed to Kayce’s two conditions: to keep his family — which includes wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and son Tate (Brecken Merrill) — on the East Camp and for Yellowstone never to be developed or sold.
When the spinoff news was announced in May 2025, the actor shared the Deadline announcement on Instagram alongside a on-brand caption.
“Cowboys dont say goodbye, they say see you later,” he wrote in a since-deleted post.
In August 2025, Variety reported that Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty and Brecken Merrill also joined the cast to reprise their roles on the spinoff.
Spencer Hudnut will be at the helm of Marshals as the show’s writer, executive producer and showrunner. His previous credits include CBS’ Unforgettable and Paramount+’s SEAL Team.
Hudnut will be aided by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, who will also serve as an executive producer.
“In terms of Taylor’s involvement, we’re still early in the process. He’s a very busy guy, but we’ll take what we can get,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach told reporters ahead of the reveal, per Variety.
Grimes will also be an executive producer on Y: Marshals.
