Y: Marshals: Logan Marshall-Green joins Yellowstone spinoff cast
Logan Marshall-Green has officially joined Y: Marshals, the latest Yellowstone spinoff, putting him alongside Luke Grimes in the center of the action. According to Variety, he will play Pete Calvin, a character described as a military buddy from Kayce Dutton's past. Pete is one of the few people who really understands Kayce's wiring - both men shaped by combat, duty, and loss. Logan Marshall-Green joins the cast of Yellowstone spinoff, Y: Marshals.(Instagram/elemgy/lukegrimes) The show follows Kayce as he steps away from the Yellowstone Ranch and into the boots of a U.S. Marshal, bringing his skills as both a cowboy and Navy SEAL to a job that blurs the line between order and chaos in rural Montana. The spinoff scored a 13-episode order from CBS and is set to premiere mid-season in 2025–2026 on Sunday nights. Marshall-Green adds more grit to Sheridan's world This casting is not just for name value. Marshall-Green brings serious chops. You have seen him get dirty in Upgrade, mysterious in Prometheus, and deadly in The Invitation, reports Variety. He has done big studio work like Spider-Man: Homecoming and gone indie with equal weight. He is even part of Christopher Nolan's upcoming The Odyssey.

With Spencer Hudnut writing the first episode and Greg Yaitanes in the director's chair, the show's creative team is aiming for something sharp, fast, and loaded with emotional fallout. Sheridan, David C. Glasser, John Linson, and a small army of producers are backing it under MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. No fluff here - this one's built for blood, brotherhood, and the price of justice. The Dutton universe keeps growing Y: Marshals adds yet another layer to Sheridan's interconnected Yellowstone world, which already includes hits like 1883, 1923, and Lawmen: Bass Reeves. But this spinoff's structure - focused on Kayce in a tactical U.S. Marshals role - feels different. As per Variety, Grimes will also serve as a producer, stepping deeper into the character he has been with since day one. Marshall-Green is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment, CAA, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher LLP. FAQs: Is 6666 a spin-off of Yellowstone?

The Real Reason Taylor Sheridan Chose Not To Continue '1923' After Season 2's Shocking Finale
It's the hit prequel series that left fans wanting more, but Taylor Sheridan chose not to continue 1923 beyond its season two finale because, from the outset, he envisioned the series as a two-chapter prequel to Yellowstone, intended to tell a specific, self-contained story. In interviews and official statements dating back to 2022, both Sheridan and Paramount+ consistently indicated that season two would be the final chapter. This creative decision was shaped by his desire to chart the Dutton family's history through distinct eras, with 1923 set to bridge the narrative gap between 1883 and the next planned prequel, 1944. Despite the massive surge in viewership — season two's finale drew 17 million viewers, a 41% increase over season one — Sheridan maintained his plan, stating there was a natural conclusion to the characters' arcs and the time period he wished to explore. Instead of stretching the story or changing the series' direction in response to audience demand or streaming success, Sheridan focussed on weaving the emotional and historical threads set in motion by season one, including the fates of Jack, Elizabeth, Spencer, and Alexandra, to a close. Paramount+ is now preparing for 1944, the next prequel series, which will continue the Dutton family saga against the backdrop of World War II. While nothing has officially been confirmed yet, the fact that Spencer fought in the first World War before the events of 1923, makes it entirely possible that he's drafted to fight in World War II as well. D-Day also occurs in June 1944, marking a major turning point for the end of the war. 1944 will also focus on the family's ranching history during a time when most able-bodied men were called to serve overseas. While casting details have yet to be announced, Jon Hamm, Anya Taylor-Joy, Florence Pugh and Paul Mescal are among the names currently being bandied around by fans who are clamouring for the stars to join the franchise.

'1923' Season 1 Ending, Explained: How It Sets The Stage For '1944', 'The Madison' And 'Yellowstone'
The Dutton story stretches across generations and a lot of what happens in season one of 1923 directly connects to Taylor Sheridan's upcoming spinoffs 1944, The Madison, and of course, the acclaimed series, Yellowstone. 1923 sees the Dutton family's story defined by sacrifice, resilience and their unyielding determination to protect their land and legacy. From Spencer's exhausting journey back to Montana, to Teonna's harrowing life on the run and industrialists that threaten to dismantle the Yellowstone ranch, the storylines perfectly connect characters across time and also echo struggles that several generations of the Dutton family and Broken Rock Reservation natives have faced. Below, we piece how Sheridan has connected the ending of season one of 1923 to storylines and characters across generations. By the end of first season of 1923, Elizabeth suffers a miscarriage. Jack gently suggests that perhaps her destiny isn't to have children of her own, but to care for someone else's. This mirrors Beth Dutton's storyline in Yellowstone — where she is unable to have children due to a life-altering decision made by Jamie without her consent. Later in the series, Beth essentially adopts a young boy named Carter, continuing the theme of motherhood taking unconventional forms, which is the case with Cara and Spencer. Spencer is haunted by vivid flashbacks from his time fighting in WWI, and trauma plays a large role in shaping his character. These flashbacks also foreshadow the upcoming spinoff series, 1944; having fought in WWI, before the events of 1923, it is entirely possible that Spencer may be called to serve again in WWII. Financial hardship is a reoccurring challenge for the Dutton family in 1923. In Yellowstone, the family constantly battles to keep up with the rising taxes and overdue payments on the land. These same pressures exist in 1923, and by the end of the season, Whitfield sneakily pays off the Dutton ranch's tax debt, which put the family in debt to him. Similarly, the struggle of being in arrears is known all too well by John and Beth, who struggle to make payments in present day. One of the longest-running struggles in the Dutton universe is the relentless fight to keep the Yellowstone ranch in the family. In 1923, that threat comes to a head when Donald Whitfield (a wealthy, evil mining tycoon) uses violence, manipulation, money and legal influence to take the Dutton land. He represents the beginning of new age industrialists who don't care for tradition and wish to use the land for business purposes. In Yellowstone, it's a similar story as forces such as Dan Jenkins, the state government and market equities all pressure the Dutton family into selling their land or taking it by force. The Dutton family's fight for Yellowstone is ultimately one that sees them preserve their identity and way of life after fighting so hard to earn it. A large part of season one saw Teonna Rainwater endure horrific abuse at an American Indian boarding school for girls, which causes her to kill two nuns and flee the school. Now on the run, her fight for survival is filled with danger and despair as she nearly gives up on several occasions. While her fate in season two is still yet to unfold, it's likely that her determination and efforts led to the continuation of her family tree to live on. Ultimately, this leads to Chief Thomas Rainwater in Yellowstone. Like Teonna, Thomas carries the same resilience as her, as he is chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock.

Michelle Pfeiffer Will Lead 'Yellowstone' Spin-Off 'The Madison'
The Yellowstone spin-off formerly known as 2024 has a new, trend-breaking title: The Madison. Although Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan has shown quite the penchant for numeric titles in prior spin-offs of his hit western drama (see: 1883, 1923, and the reportedly forthcoming 1944), the first contemporary offshoot to follow Yellowstone's grand season 5 finale will take a different approach to its name—and its story. The Madison will reportedly follow not the flagship series's Dutton family (or, anyway, not only the Dutton family) but, rather, a group of New York transplants. Here's what little we know so far. Per The Hollywood Reporter, The Madison's official plot description is 'a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.' Although this logline points to a cast of characters apart from the Duttons, the Dutton line could still make an appearance, given their continued presence in Montana. As the Yellowstone season 5 finale outlines, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), now run a ranch in Dillon, Montana. They even have their own spin-off teed up with Paramount. Shall we take bets on a cross-over episode or two? In November 2024, Yellowstone and The Madison director Christina Alexandra Voros told Variety that 'the common ground' between the two shows 'is the landscape. We are in Montana, but it is seen through a completely different lens, so it feels like another facet of this cut stone that has been polished. There are parallels in the scope of landscape and a human being's place in that space, but it's coming at it from a completely different point of view.' Reports first circulated in 2023 that actor Matthew McConaughey would lead The Madison (then titled 2024) following Kevin Costner's contentious departure from Yellowstone. But that deal never came to light, and instead, actress Michelle Pfeiffer was eventually announced in 2024 as The Madison's lead actress. She will star alongside Matthew Fox, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett, Ben Schnetzer, Amiah Miller, and Elle Chapman. The Madison is currently filming in Texas, but Paramount has yet to announce a release date for the series.

Pride When the U.S. Army Goes Rolling Along
Regarding 'Patriotism and Protests Stir the Nation' (U.S. News, June 16): I want to land firmly on the 'pro' side and thank President Trump and the organizers. Every aspect of the parade touched me personally. My father enlisted in January 1944 and served in the Army until his death in 1973. While in the Counterintelligence Corps, he was awarded multiple medals including a Bronze Star, and he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. I spent most of my childhood overseas, where an Army parade was a very anticipated and celebrated event, in part because there were none of the usual community activities enjoyed in civilian America. The parades always included marching soldiers in perfect cadence, a color guard carrying the U.S. and regimental flags, and a military band playing patriotic songs. At Christmas since there were no department stores featuring Santa Claus, he would arrive in a helicopter on the parade grounds.
