The latest trailer for Marshals is here, and it wastes absolutely no time letting fans know that Kayce Dutton’s happy ending didn’t stick. The series centers on Luke Grimes’ Kayce, the fan-favorite son of Kevin Costner’s John Dutton from Yellowstone. When Yellowstone wrapped, Kayce walked away from the ranch, sold the land, and chose peace — planning a fresh start with Monica and Tate. The Marshals trailer makes it painfully clear that peace didn’t last.

The opening moments show Kayce sleeping alone, visiting a grave, and openly carrying grief. Monica — played by Kelsey Asbille — is conspicuously absent from the cast list, and while nothing is explicitly confirmed, the implication is loud. Kayce even says it himself: “Yellowstone is gone, same for most of my family. As for vengeance, the day is still young.”

Here’s the official logline:

“With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana. Kayce and his teammates — Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means) – must balance the high psychological cost of serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence with their duty to their families, which for Kayce includes his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) and his confidantes Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) from the Broken Rock reservation.”

Why Did Luke Grimes Return for ‘Marshals’?

Grimes previously admitted he was hesitant to undo Kayce’s Yellowstone ending, but said new showrunner Spencer Hudnut pitched an idea that finally convinced him. “It opens up a whole new world for him,” Grimes said, teasing a version of Kayce we haven’t seen before — one shaped by loss instead of loyalty.

Produced by Taylor Sheridan alongside MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, Marshals premieres Sunday, March 1 at 8 p.m. on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+.
