Y Marshals: Kayce Dutton Steps into the Spotlight in New Yellowstone Spin-Off
Yellowstone fans are getting a fresh story — and Kayce Dutton is leading the way. CBS’s upcoming spin-off, Y Marshals, takes the character in a bold new direction. Instead of life on the ranch, he’s now chasing justice as a U.S. Marshal. Here’s what to expect.
From Cowboy to U.S. Marshal
In Y Marshals, Kayce leaves the Dutton Ranch behind. He joins a special U.S. Marshals unit working across Montana. His military background as a Navy SEAL and his cowboy instincts make him a powerful force. Now, he tackles crime and conflict in some of the toughest terrain in the country.
The show will explore how his past shapes his new path. Old family ties and inner struggles continue to follow him, even in a badge and uniform.
Cast and Returning Characters
Luke Grimes returns as Kayce. Joining him is Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin, a former military friend. Together, they face threats that go far beyond what Kayce dealt with on the ranch.
Other Yellowstone cast members — including Gil Birmingham, Moses Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill — are also confirmed to return. This helps tie Y Marshals to the larger Yellowstone universe.
Premiere Date and Network
CBS plans to air Y Marshals during the mid-season of 2025–2026. It will take a Sunday night slot, aiming to capture a wide audience with its action-packed and emotional storytelling.
A New Direction for the Yellowstone Universe
Y Marshals shifts the focus away from land disputes and family drama. Instead, it explores law enforcement, personal redemption, and moral choices. Kayce’s new journey offers fans a deeper look into his character — and opens the door to new types of stories.
The series combines action, emotion, and the rugged beauty of Montana. It promises a fresh take, while still feeling like a part of the Yellowstone legacy.
In short: Y Marshals is more than a spin-off. It’s a reinvention — and Kayce Dutton is ready for his next chapter.
