Inside “Y: Marshals” – What to Expect from the Mysterious Yellowstone Spinoff

Dust off your cowboy boots — Kayce Dutton’s story will continue in a new Yellowstone spinoff.

Officially announced in May 2025, Y: Marshals will follow the youngest Dutton son, played by Luke Grimes, as he puts his ranching days behind him and joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals in Montana, according to Deadline.

Unlike Yellowstone — which aired on the Paramount Network — Y: Marshals will be a CBS original, airing on Sunday nights on the network.

Y: Marshals joins a slate of future Yellowstone spinoffs, including 66661944 and The Madison. Three other Yellowstone spinoffs — including 1883Lawmen: Bass Reeves and 1923 — have already debuted.

Here’s everything to know about the highly anticipated Yellowstone spinoff, Y: Marshals.

Y: Marshals will see Kayce Dutton “join 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,” per the show’s official logline.

Dutton’s new career trajectory isn’t unexpected. In the series finale of Yellowstone, which aired in December 2024, fans saw the youngest son save Yellowstone Ranch by selling the land to Broken Rock Reservation.

It was the deal of a lifetime for High Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), who paid $1.25 an acre — the price Kayce’s ancestors paid when they settled there. For the low price, Rainwater agreed to Dutton’s two conditions: to keep his family — which includes wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and son Tate (Brecken Merrill) — on the East Camp and for Yellowstone never to be developed or sold.

Who is in the cast of Y: Marshals?

For now, Grimes is the only confirmed Y: Marshals cast member.

When the spinoff news was announced in May 2025, the actor shared the Deadline announcement on Instagram alongside a very on-brand caption.

“Cowboys dont say goodbye, they say see you later,” he wrote.
