Get ready to ride again, Yellowstone fans — because Kayce Dutton is officially back. CBS has finally revealed the premiere date for Y: Marshals, the highly anticipated Yellowstone spinoff starring Luke Grimes, and the countdown can officially begin.
The network announced that Y: Marshals will premiere on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. The show will lead into a packed Sunday lineup, airing right after 60 Minutes before handing the night off to Tracker at 9 p.m. and Watson at 10 p.m. CBS clearly expects big things from Kayce’s new chapter — and fans do too.
A New Beginning for Kayce Dutton
Set after the events of Yellowstone Season 5, Y: Marshals follows Kayce as he steps away from ranch life and into a high-stakes new world. Instead of cattle, horses, and family politics, Kayce is joining a specialized U.S. Marshals unit in Montana, tapping into his military training and bringing that unmistakable Dutton grit with him.
The series blends:
- Modern Western energy
- Law-enforcement drama
- Gritty family storytelling
It’s familiar enough for Yellowstone fans but still fresh enough to stand alone in the growing Taylor Sheridan universe.
Returning Stars and New Faces
This new chapter doesn’t mean Kayce is riding solo. Several beloved Yellowstone cast members are returning, including:
- Gil Birmingham
- Mo Brings Plenty
- Brecken Merrill (Tate)
Tate’s appearance alone hints that Kayce won’t fully break away from the Dutton family — even though he’s building a new life far from the ranch.
One big question remains: Where is Monica?
CBS hasn’t revealed her status yet, and the mystery deepens when fans noticed Kayce still wearing his wedding ring in early footage.
Meet the New Cast of ‘Y: Marshals’
Alongside returning characters, several new actors are joining the spinoff:
- Arielle Kebbel as Belle
- Ash Santos as Andrea
- Tatanka Means as Miles
- Brett Cullen as Harry Gifford, the Montana chief overseeing the unit
- Logan Marshall-Green as Pete Calvin, a friend from Kayce’s military past
This lineup promises tension, camaraderie, and the kind of moral conflict Yellowstone viewers love.
A Spinoff With Its Own Identity
While set in the same universe, Y: Marshals isn’t aiming to copy Yellowstone. Instead, it’s shifting focus toward justice, modern-day frontier work, and the emotional weight Kayce carries from everything he’s survived.
Expect:
- New enemies
- New allies
- New landscapes
- And a Kayce Dutton who’s trying to rebuild while still haunted by his past
Watching him balance duty, trauma, and whatever family looks like now may become the most powerful part of the entire series.
Fans Are Counting Down to March 1, 2026
One thing is clear: excitement is already sky-high. With a strong cast, a compelling new direction, and one of TV’s most beloved characters at its center, Y: Marshals is shaping up to be the next big hit in Sheridan’s universe.
