CBS has announced the launch of “Y: Marshals,” a new spinoff from the wildly popular series “Yellowstone.” Set to premiere on March 1, 2026, the show will follow Kayce Dutton, played by Luke Grimes, as he transitions from the family’s renowned ranch life to a career with the U.S. Marshals, reflecting his military background as a former Navy SEAL. This exciting new direction not only highlights Kayce’s character growth but also expands the “Yellowstone” universe further.
In the series, Kayce is no longer just protecting the Dutton family ranch; he will be part of an elite team tasked with safeguarding Montana. Viewers can expect a gripping narrative that examines the complexities of a man trying to escape a life of violence only to find himself enforcing the law. As he dons the badge, Kayce confronts the notion that sometimes good men are faced with difficult decisions that lead them down dark paths.
Grimes will be joined by returning cast members such as Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater, Mo Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill as Kayce’s son, Tate Dutton. However, there is speculation regarding the absence of Kelsey Asbille as Monica Long Dutton, Kayce’s wife, raising questions about her fate and its potential impact on the storyline.
What makes this spinoff particularly noteworthy is its shift to CBS, diverging from the streaming platform Paramount+, signaling a new chapter for the “Yellowstone” franchise. It will explore themes of duty, conflict, and the moral dilemmas faced by those in law enforcement. With Spencer Hudnut, known for his work on “SEAL Team,” as the showrunner, fans can anticipate a series that seamlessly blends action and character-driven narratives.
“Y: Marshals” will air on CBS on Sundays and will be available for streaming on Paramount+ the following day. This innovative expansion of the “Yellowstone” saga promises to captivate audiences with its blend of rugged frontier spirit and intense law enforcement drama, making it a highly anticipated addition to the television landscape come March 2026.
