‘Yellowstone’ Universe Expands With New CBS Spinoff Y: Marshals
The Yellowstone universe is riding back into action — this time with a law enforcement twist. CBS has officially unveiled the first look at its brand-new spinoff, Y: Marshals, starring Luke Grimes reprising his beloved role as Kayce Dutton.
Kayce Dutton Finds a New Beginning
After years of turmoil on the Dutton Ranch, Y: Marshals sees Kayce leaving his cowboy roots behind to forge a new path as a U.S. Marshal. In the teaser clip shared by Us Weekly, Kayce reflects on his past, admitting, “I’m just grappling with some skeletons I would like to keep in my closet.”
Later, he adds, “I’m changing paths… trying to find a new beginning,” signaling a major emotional and professional shift for the character who has long struggled to reconcile duty, family, and inner peace.
A New Cast and Fresh Territory
The series introduces a dynamic new ensemble cast alongside Grimes:
-
Arielle Kebbel (Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector) as Belle, a determined Marshal with a complicated past.
-
Ash Santos (American Horror Story) as Andrea, the sharp and intuitive rookie on the team.
-
Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon) as Miles, a local lawman and Kayce’s steadfast partner.
-
Brett Cullen (True Detective) as Harry Gifford, the head of the Montana division.
-
Logan Marshall-Green (Big Sky) joins in an undisclosed role that’s rumored to be pivotal to the season’s central mystery.
Blending Western Grit With Law Enforcement Drama
According to CBS’s official synopsis, Y: Marshals will merge “cowboy grit and federal law enforcement drama,” following Kayce as he combines his ranching instincts and Navy SEAL training to deliver “range justice” across Montana. The show promises high-stakes action, rugged landscapes, and the same moral complexity that made Yellowstone a global hit.
Kayce’s new mission will force him to balance duty, family, and the lingering ghosts of his past — with the series reportedly delving deeper into the psychological toll of his choices.
A New Chapter for the Yellowstone Legacy
With Yellowstone nearing its end, Y: Marshals marks the next chapter in Taylor Sheridan’s sprawling universe. Though Sheridan’s creative control is shifting as he transitions to his upcoming Universal deal, Y: Marshals continues his tradition of grounded, character-driven storytelling in the American frontier.
No official premiere date has been announced, but filming is already underway in Montana. Y: Marshals will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+, bringing the Dutton spirit back to screens — with a badge and a new sense of purpose.
