The official trailer for Marshals (the Yellowstone spinoff starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton) was released on January 23, 2026, during NFL coverage and across Paramount+ and CBS platforms. It serves as the first full “first look” at the series, shifting from ranch drama to a gritty neo-Western law enforcement thriller. The 2-minute trailer opens with Kayce reflecting on loss—”The only thing I ever wanted was taken from me”—while showing him alone in bed, a nurse covering a body, and him at a grave, heavily hinting at the death of his wife Monica (Kelsey Asbille is absent from cast lists and trailer, sparking fan outrage and theories).
Kayce leaves the Yellowstone Ranch behind after its sale, joining an elite U.S. Marshals unit in Montana. He blends his cowboy heritage, Navy SEAL training, and “range justice” instincts to combat the region’s violent criminal networks—described as “the most violent in this hemisphere.” The trailer mixes high-stakes action (shootouts, rough terrain pursuits, standoffs with militias) with emotional weight: balancing duty, family (especially raising son Tate), and the psychological toll of being “the last line of defense.”
Key scenes and breakdowns:
- Opening grief montage — Kayce’s isolation and loss set a darker, more personal tone than Yellowstone’s family empire battles.
- Marshal team intro — Kayce meets his new unit: Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos), and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means). Banter like “Welcome to the US Marshals” and “Hey, Case, me and my marshals” shows team dynamics.
- Action beats — High-powered rifles, chases through wilderness, campfire talks under stars—blending Yellowstone’s rural grit with CBS procedural energy.
- Yellowstone ties — Returning faces include Mo Brings Plenty (Mo), Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater), and Brecken Merrill (Tate). Kayce aids the Broken Rock reservation, hinting at ongoing alliances.
- Tone shift — Described as “Rambo with a Stetson,” it leans into vengeance and moral complexity, with lines like “Dutton’s personal agenda is always some form of vengeance.”
The trailer positions Marshals as a sequel/spinoff: post-Yellowstone, Kayce seeks purpose in law enforcement amid personal tragedy and Montana’s dangers. Fans note the emotional pivot—Kayce’s happy ending in Yellowstone feels shattered, fueling speculation about Monica’s fate (flashbacks or off-screen death?).
