A new series expanding the "Yellowstone" universe is coming to CBS, with actor Luke Grimes set to return as his character Kayce Dutton. The network announced the new show, titled "Y: Marshals," has received a 13-episode order.
The series is scheduled to debut during CBS's midseason lineup in 2026. Production is planned to begin this summer. "Y: Marshals" is slated to air on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
The announcement confirms earlier reports about the project's development. The news was made public as CBS revealed its schedule for the 2025-2026 broadcast season.
"Y: Marshals" picks up the story following the events depicted in the "Yellowstone" series finale. Kayce Dutton, the youngest son of John Dutton, takes on a new role in law enforcement.
The series logline indicates that Kayce Dutton transitions from ranch life to become a member of an elite unit of U.S. Marshals. His new position requires him to balance professional duty with personal life and family responsibilities. The role will utilize both his background in ranching and his previous training as a Navy SEAL.
The emotional and psychological demands of the Marshal's job are expected to be central to the storyline as Kayce and his team navigate high-pressure situations.
Taylor Sheridan serves as an executive producer for "Y: Marshals." He is joined by executive producers Luke Grimes, David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari. Spencer Hudnut is attached as both an executive producer and the showrunner for the series.
The addition of "Y: Marshals" represents another step in the expansion of the "Yellowstone" franchise. Discussions are ongoing regarding other potential series set within the same world. Actors Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who portray Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, have been involved in talks about potentially leading a separate project.
The order for "Y: Marshals" with Luke Grimes signifies a continued focus on developing stories centered on key characters from the original show. A report about the series order was published by Variety. Further information is available from other outlets including Entertainment Weekly.
