Will Kevin Costner Appear on ‘Y: Marshals’, the ‘Yellowstone’ Kayce Dutton Spinoff?

Kevin Costner's Potential Role in Y: Marshals

Kevin Costner’s return as John Dutton in the Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals is uncertain. Although John Dutton is dead in the Yellowstone universe, the possibility of flashback appearances exists because the spinoff may have access to Yellowstone footage. However, past scheduling conflicts and a reported disagreement between Costner and the show’s creator Taylor Sheridan add complexity to his involvement. The showrunner Spencer Hudnut leads Y: Marshals with Sheridan as executive producer, which may influence Costner's participation.

About Y: Marshals and Its Storyline

Y: Marshals premieres March 1 on CBS and follows Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes), the youngest son of John Dutton. Kayce leaves the Yellowstone Ranch to join an elite U.S. Marshals unit. This series blends his cowboy skills with his Navy SEAL training to bring justice in Montana. Fans can expect several characters from Yellowstone to appear, with the potential for crossover events, though only Luke Grimes is confirmed for now.

Production and Character Information

The series is set to continue exploring the Dutton family's legacy through Kayce, balancing family responsibilities and the psychological cost of his law enforcement duty. Filming took place in Utah and the premiere is scheduled for 2026. Luke Grimes is the only confirmed returning cast member, while Kevin Costner's role remains undecided due to the character’s death and other factors.

"With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Kayce joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals in Y: Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana."

Author’s Summary

Kevin Costner’s appearance in Y: Marshals is doubtful but not impossible, with flashbacks as the likely form; the show primarily focuses on Kayce Dutton’s new role in a U.S. Marshals unit, blending family drama and law enforcement action.
