Y: MARSHALS: The Yellowstone universe continues to expand, and one of the most anticipated additions is Y: MARSHALS — a spin-off series that broadens the world created around the Duttons into high-stakes law enforcement drama. Here’s a complete look at what we know so far about this new chapter.
What Is Y: MARSHALS?
Y: MARSHALS is a Yellowstone universe spin-off focusing on a team of U.S. Marshals who handle dangerous fugitives, high-risk operations, and justice on the edge. Unlike the ranch-centric focus of the original series, this show shifts to the world of federal law enforcement.
The series aims to blend procedural action with the character-driven depth fans love from Yellowstone.
Story & Setting
Rather than ranches and land disputes, Y: MARSHALS follows marshals who track criminals across states, face moral dilemmas, and tackle unpredictable threats. The setting spans remote landscapes, bustling cities, and volatile crime scenes, giving the series a broader geographic and thematic range.
Main Characters
While not all characters have been confirmed, the show centers on a team of marshals with diverse backgrounds and motivations. The lead character is portrayed as someone shaped by past trauma and strong moral conviction, driven by a deep sense of justice.
