The next stop in the Yellowstone universe is a spinoff starring Luke Grimes’ character, Kayce Dutton.
Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. After finding success on Paramount, creator Taylor Sheridan grew the Yellowstone world with prequels 1883 and 1923.
CBS ordered Y: Marshals, the upcoming show following Kayce as he leaves the Yellowstone ranch to join the U.S. Marshals, after Yellowstone concluded in December 2024.
“Cowboys dont say goodbye, they say see you later,” Grimes wrote via Instagram when the exciting news was announced.

When Will ‘Y: Marshals’ Premiere on CBS?
The highly-anticipated series is scheduled to premiere in spring 2026 on CBS as a midseason replacement. It will air on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET.
Spencer Hudnut, who previously worked on SEAL Team, serves as the show’s writer, executive producer and showrunner. Taylor Sheridan is also an executive producer on the project, with CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach previously saying in a statement, “In terms of Taylor’s involvement, we’re still early in the process. He’s a very busy guy, but we’ll take what we can get.”
What Is the Spinoff About?
According to the official synopsis, Y: Marshals follows Kayce leaving “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of U.S. Marshals. While “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.”
Who Makes Up the Cast?
Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green are joining Grimes on the new series.
Kebbel, Santos and Means will play Belle, Andrea and Miles, respectively. They are all members of the U.S. Marshals while Cullen plays Harry Gifford, the head of the U.S. Marshals in Montana.
