‘Yellowstone’ Meets ‘NCIS’ in First Teaser for Kayce Dutton’s Return in ‘Y: Marshals’
Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan‘s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.
When we last saw him, Kayce wanted rid of his Dutton legacy, and space to carve out a new life free from the burden of the name for himself and his family. But let’s be real — peace has never really been an option for him. With John Dutton dead and the ranch coming apart, it makes sense that Kayce would get pulled into something bigger. Maybe the ranch was too full of ghosts, maybe the world outside needed someone like him more. Either way, him joining the Marshals feels like a natural fit.
Is Taylor Sheridan Involved With ‘Y: Marshals’?
No, he isn’t. Sheridan is an executive producer on the show but will have no creative involvement whatsoever. Some fans were worried it might lose that gritty Sheridan edge, but the teaser already shows Kayce chasing down a car on horseback, so it doesn’t look like they’re holding back. If anything, the procedural format might just give them more excuses to throw Kayce into danger every single week, with the same kind of high-stakes action we’re used to from Yellowstone.
