The latest Yellowstone spin-off, Marshals, is a far cry from Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western television series. Created by Spencer Hudnut, the new Paramount+ series sees actor Luke Grimes reprise his role as Kayce Dutton, the youngest son of John Dutton (Kevin Costner), who owns the largest ranch in Montana – Yellowstone Ranch.

In the show’s premiere, which aired on March 1, we see Kayce leave behind the ranch life following the tragic death of his wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille), after receiving the offer to join an elite team of US Marshals led by Pete “Cal” Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), a friend from Kayce’s Navy SEAL days.

Alongside Cal, Kayce’s new team members include Andrea Santos (Ash Santos), Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means), Brett Cullen (Harry Gifford) and Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel) – who Kayce seemingly recognises from her last name, but keeps it to himself at Belle’s request.
