Kayce Dutton’s fresh start as depicted at the conclusion of “Yellowstone” may be facing new challenges. The recently released extended trailer for the “Yellowstone” spinoff series, titled “Y: Marshals,” offers a glimpse into Kayce’s ongoing struggles with morality and his past.
In the trailer, Kayce reflects on his difficult journey, stating, “I fought every day to get out from under the weight of the Yellowstone. I’ve lost my teammates, my parents and my brothers. … I’m trying to find a new beginning.” With a renewed determination, he now finds himself leading a team of U.S. Marshals in Montana, alongside his son Tate (Brecken Merrill), after selling his family’s Montana ranch and seeking a fresh start in the aftermath of the intense season 5B finale of “Yellowstone.”
“Y: Marshals” is one of several spinoff series extending Taylor Sheridan’s beloved “Yellowstone” franchise. Several actors from the original series will reprise their roles, including Merrill, Gil Birmingham, and Mo Brings Plenty. However, fans may notice the absence of Kelsey Asbille, who portrayed Kayce’s wife, Monica. This character’s absence raises intriguing questions about the potential for new tragedies in Kayce’s life.
The series brings new faces into the fold, with Logan Marshall-Green, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, and Tatanka Means joining the cast. The storyline revolves around Kayce’s dual role as a U.S. Marshal, utilizing his cowboy skills and Navy SEAL training to uphold justice in Montana. As he navigates the complexities of serving as a line of defense against regional violence, he grapples with the psychological toll this duty takes on him and his family, including his son Tate and allies Thomas Rainwater and Mo from the Broken Rock reservation.
“Y: Marshals” is set to premiere on Sunday, March 1, at 8 p.m. on CBS. Viewers can also catch it live and on-demand on Paramount+ for Premium subscribers, or on-demand the following day for Essential subscribers. This spinoff promises to delve deeper into Kayce’s character, as it explores themes of redemption and the burdens of his past.
