Multiple ‘Yellowstone’ Stars Confirmed For Kayce Dutton Spinoff, ‘Y: Marshals,’ Except One Very Important Character

Getting the old band back together, eh?

It’s no secret that Yellowstone creator and writer, Taylor Sheridan, is one of the busiest men in Hollywood, and it’s also no secret that Paramount is gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off. After the Yellowstone series finale, Paramount announced plans for a number of spinoff shows, featuring much of the old cast reprising their roles as the characters that many of us have come to know and love.

And I’m not even talking about the prequels, 1883, 1923 and the upcoming 1944. I’m also not talking about the Sylvester Stallone led Tulsa King, Special Ops: Lioness, Lawman: Bass Reeves (Sheridan was just a producer on this project), Mayor Of Kingstown starring Jeremy Renner, and then his latest masterpiece, Landman. Yep, Taylor stays real busy, but this latest round of shows is shaping up to be pretty special.

As of right now, there are three modern-day spinoff series taking shape: The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, a Rip and Beth-focused spinoff with the working title The Dutton Ranch, and Y: Marshals, a Kayce Dutton focused story that will move over to CBS.

CBS has given a 13-episode order for a program called Y: Marshals, where Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton. Yellowstone fans know well that one of the main character qualities of Kayce, the youngest of the Dutton siblings, was his prior military experience – specifically as a Navy SEAL. Based on the show’s proposed log line, it appears the series will explore his trained skillset a bit more:

“With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins 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.”

It sounds like kind of a weird premise given the fact that Kayce always seemed to be trying to escape his time in the SEAL Teams, and the violence that the Dutton Ranch brought as well, but I’m here for it. Give me Navy SEAL Kayce, and the action that comes with it, all day.

The premiere has been confirmed for spring of 2026, and will fall into the coveted Sunday 9 p.m. EST time slot. Filming is believed to already be underway, or beginning very soon, and a number of original Yellowstone cast members have been confirmed to be returning.

The Cast

As I mentioned before, Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton, this time stepping into federal service, and Brecken Merrill is back as Tate Dutton, Kayce’s son. But the real question mark right now is Kelsey Asbille, AKA Monica Dutton. To be fair, Monica got a lot of hate from Yellowstone fans, so I’m not surprised that Kelsey might not want to return, but that being said, how the heck are you going to do the show without her? Better open up the checkbook Taylor…

But in addition to Luke and Brecken, there’s quite a few former cast members coming back, including Gil Birmingham, who returns as Thomas Rainwater and Mo Brings Plenty, who reprises his role as Mo (Kayce’s friend and spiritual advisor).

New Cast Members:

A number of new cast memebers are listed as follows:

Logan Marshall-Green plays Pete Calvin, a military comrade of Kayce

Arielle Kebbel plays Belle, a U.S. Marshal

Ash Santos as Andrea, a U.S. Marshal

Tatanka Means will play Miles, another member of the U.S. Marshals team.

Brett Cullen will appear in a recurring capacity as Harry Gifford, head of the Marshals in Montana.

All in all, Y: Marshals promises an exciting evolution for the Yellowstone universe… more action, more familiar faces, and more of the Yellowstone world that fans have been hoping for, but much like the departure of Kevin Costner in the flagship series, it seems like something will be missing without Kelsey. Or who knows, maybe Tate just makes a couple quick scenes and the rest is runnin’ and gunnin’ Kayce Dutton… kickin’ a** and takin’ names.

Stay tuned…
