Yellowstone star Luke Grimes reacts to the current title of his upcoming spinoff. Even though the original Yellowstone came to a stop with

season 5, some of the Western’s key characters will soon be headlining their own shows. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will reprise their

respective roles for a Beth and Rip spinoff, planned for Paramount+. As for Grimes, the original Yellowstone actor will be back as Kayce Dutton for the CBS drama Y: Marshals, which will debut in spring 2026.

In an Instagram post, Grimes reacted to the news that Y: Marshals is moving forward at CBS and shared the caption: “Cowboys dont say goodbye, they say see you later.” The post, included below, has nearly 79 thousand likes at this time of writing. It’s also gained support from several of Grimes’ peers, with Kissing Booth actor Joel Courtney and others chiming in to offer congratulations.

Y: Marshals is the spinoff’s working title, which means that it could change moving forward. But the spinoff’s premise will see Kayce leave the Dutton family ranch and join the Navy SEALs. It’s a shift that is likewise reflected in the spinoff’s creative team. The series will see Spencer Hudnut, the executive producer of SEAL Team, serve as showrunner and also executive produce alongside franchise creator Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser for 101 Studios, John Linson, and Art Linson. Check out the official synopsis below:

To its credit, CBS is pretty good at launching a series and making sure that it finds an audience. That will likely be the case with Y: Marshals as well, which has a built-in audience. But there will still be questions to ask about the cast and how, for example, Kayce’s family will factor into this new story. Based on the initial details, it doesn’t sound like the spinoff plans to be a neat continuation of what came before. It will tap into a side of Kayce that had been comparatively only glimpsed during Yellowstone.
