Development

In March 2025 it was reported that a spin-off of the Paramount Network series Yellowstone starring Luke Grimes and created by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, and Spencer Hudnut, was in development at CBS.[4][5] The procedural program, tentatively titled Y: Marshals, was ordered in May from MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios for the 2025–26 television season. Hudnut signed on as showrunner and executive producer, with Grimes, Sheridan, Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, also holding executive producer roles.[6][7] Amy Reisenbach, the CBS Entertainment president, said the decision was made to air it on CBS rather than release it on Paramount+ (similar to other series from Sheridan) due to the success from the linear broadcasts of the parent show as well as Tulsa King.[8] With Sheridan known for producing high-budget series,[9] concerns were raised about the series budget and how the show would look and feel on a broadcast network rather than cable.[10] Reisenbach responded saying that "we don't do cheap" and that creatively, the show would be similar to Yellowstone, assuring that a proper budget had been allocated.[11]

By August 2025, Paramount Television Studios had taken over production of the series following the merger of parent company Paramount Global with Skydance Media into Paramount Skydance.[12]

Casting

Grimes reprises his role as Kayce Dutton.[13] He was initially approached about the spin-off just four months after production on the final season of Yellowstone wrapped, and was initially unsure about it being centered around his character, believing that his arc had been satisfactorily wrapped up. He ultimately decided to proceed once he heard the pitch.[14][15] Also returning from Yellowstone, Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, and Brecken Merrill were added as series regulars to play Thomas Rainwater, Mo, and Tate Dutton, respectively.[16] Cast members new to the franchise include Arielle Kebbel, portraying Belle, Ash Santos, playing Andrea, and Tatanka Means, as Miles, all in regular roles.[17] Logan Marshall-Green rounded out the main cast as Pete Calvin.[18] Additionally, Brett Cullen was cast in a recurring role as Harry Gifford.[19]

Filming

Principal photography of the series began in late 2025, taking place in Summit County, Utah, with $52 million designated for production. Yellowstone also filmed its first three seasons in the same location, before its production was moved to Montana ahead of season four due to a lack of tax incentives that were subsequently increased due to the state losing production of that series.[20][21]

Broadcast

Y: Marshals is set to begin airing on March 1, 2026, as a mid-season replacement on CBS. It has been scheduled for Sundays at 8:00 p.m. ET and will be the first series in the franchise to debut on a linear network.[22] Paramount Global Content Distribution will handle the show's distribution rights.[23]
