Yellowstone Officially Ended 4 Months Ago, But Taylor Sheridan's Latest Spinoff Proves It's Bigger Than Ever

A familiar face is back in the saddle in the latest Yellowstone spinoff series, with the youngest Dutton sibling leading the pack.

Following the departure of series lead Kevin Costner midway through the fifth and final season, Yellowstone officially came to a close on December 15, 2024 after six years on TV.

Yet with prequel series 1883 and 1923 drawing more and more eyes, the ever-growing Yellowstone universe seemed far from done. After rumors swirled earlier this spring of a new follow-up series in the works, CBS confirmed this week that Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton would be at the helm of the latest Yellowstone creation, picking up following the series finale.

Dutton’s latest career endeavor comes after he sold off a substantial portion of the Yellowstone Ranch in the original series’ final episode. Alongside Dutton’s newest U.S. Marshals teammates, the series will center around his balancing act of family obligations and professional duties, as well as the strains of the profession, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Aside from Y: Marshals, other Yellowstone-adjacent series in development include The Madison, a project starring Michelle Pfeiffer and following the McIntosh family as they relocate from New York City to central Montana. Paramount first detailed those series plans in May 2023 and has yet to unveil a release date, but reports suggest a late 2025 premiere.
