Marshals: Everything We Know About The Yellowstone Spin-Off Series
Even though “Yellowstone” ended in 2024, the Duttons and their legacy refuse to die. Two prequel series have already been produced, while multiple spin-offs are also in the works. The first one out of the gate will be “Marshals,” which centers around Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).
The former white sheep of the family was last seen happily living on a plot of land with his wife and son, having sold the Dutton ranch back to the Broken Rock Reservation. Satisfied to leave his family’s legacy behind and work on a smaller scale, Kayce seemed to have everything he ever wanted as his tenure on “Yellowstone” faded to black.
Naturally, “Marshals” presents a whole new conflict for Kayce. While he meets new people as he starts working as a U.S. Marshal, familiar faces from his days running interference for his father John (Kevin Costner) will apparently continue to crop up in his life. Naturally, the powerful specter of the Dutton name will continue to loom large over his every deed, good or otherwise. Who can you expect to see on “Marshals” and what will it be about? When will it air, and who is producing and directing it? Here’s the full lowdown on the drama.
Fans won’t have to wait too long to catch up with Kayce Dutton. “Marshals” will debut on March 1, 2026 at 8 p.m. EST. The series will retain the familiar Sunday night timeslot that boosted “Yellowstone” to victory on Paramount Network, while Paramount+ will also carry the series on its service for those who would rather watch at their own discretion.
The show will kick off with two episodes for its premiere, with a third airing on March 8 and the rest yet to be announced. Presumably, the show will finish its run in May, which is when most spring series wrap up. There’s no word at press time as to whether or not “Marshals” will join CBS’ fall line-up if it’s a hit or stay on their spring rotation in 2027. 13 episodes have been greenlit for Season 1, and so far CBS hasn’t added extra scripts to its order. Each outing will be an hour long.
Naturally, Luke Grimes is back as Kayce Dutton, and he’s joined by Brecken Merrill, who played Tate Dutton, Kayce and Monica’s (Kelsey Asbille) son on “Yellowstone.” Other familiar Dutton Ranch faces include Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater and Mo Brings Plenty as Mo, both of the Broken Rock Reservation and longtime friends of Kayce’s.
All of the other regulars on “Marshals” are newbies to the “Yellowstone” world. That includes Logan Marshall-Green as Peter Calvin, an old friend who knew Kayce as a Navy SEAL; Arielle Kebbel as Belle Skinner, Ash Santos as Andrea Cruz, and Tatanka Means as Miles Kittle, all members of Kayce’s new team; and Brett Cullen as Harry Gifford, who’s the head of Montana’s U.S. Marshals outfit.
The most notable absence is definitely Monica Dutton, Kayce’s wife, who was last seen joyfully sharing life with Kayce and Tate in the “Yellowstone” series finale. Trailers for “Marshals” have strongly hinted that something very sad has happened to Monica — something that changes Tate and Kayce’s lives forever.
