Now that Kayce Dutton’sYellowstonespinoff is taking form, it needs to include one critical aspect of the original series to keep the franchise strong. Taylor Sheridan concluded his original show withYellowstoneseason 5in November 2024. However, the stories from the flagship series will continue in two new spinoff shows, with Luke Grimes reprising Kayce Dutton inY: Marshalsfor CBS.
Y: Marshalswas announced earlier this year, marking a first for the franchise asYellowstone’s first show to air on a major network. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will also reprise their characters inBeth and Rip’sYellowstonespinoff, announced ahead ofYellowstoneseason 5’s finale. With different shows in the works,Beth and Kayce need to stay in touch.
Kayce Dutton’s Yellowstone Spinoff Not Including Beth & Rip Would Be A Massive Mistake
The Dutton Family Can’t Fracture Despite Yellowstone’s Ending
AfterYellowstone’s finale, the franchise should avoid fracturing its remaining main characters. Therefore,Kayce Dutton’s spin-off needs to include Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. InYellowstoneseason 5, episode 14, Beth and Rip move to Dillon, Montana. Their ranch is within a couple of hours of Kayce’s, meaning that Beth and Kayce would realistically cross over from time to time.
Beth and Kayce grew closer while navigating the fallout of their father’s death.
AfterKevin Costner’sYellowstoneexitin season 5,Beth and Kayce grew closer while navigating the fallout of their father’s death. WhenLuke Grimes spoke aboutYellowstone’s cancellationand his new spinoff, he mentioned that there would be many familiar faces in the CBS series. Hopefully, that includes occasional appearances from Beth and Rip.
While Reilly and Hauser have their own spinoff coming up,including Beth and Rip in Kayce’s series would keep the original show’s story alive, rather than permanently disconnecting Beth and Kayceafter the latter sold theYellowstone Dutton Ranch. Since most didn’t want to seeYellowstoneend, keeping the siblings connected is a great way to honor the popular original series.
Which Yellowstone Characters Can Appear In Kayce’s Yellowstone Spinoff
There’s No Word On Y: Marshal’s Complete Cast List
With their own spinoff premiering on Paramount+ in November 2025,Beth and Rip won’t be mainstays in the cast ofY: Marshals.That said, someoriginalYellowstonecharacterscould permanently land on the CBS show, an exciting development for any cast members already involved in the series. Still, some are more likely to appear in Kayce’s spinoff than others.
Kayce’s spinoff should include his wife and son, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecken Merrill), to adequately fill out Dutton’s story. It could also feature keyYellowstone Ranch cowboys, such as Jake or Ethan, who stayed nearby in Montana. Perhaps best of all, Kayce’s spinoff could feature Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), continuing the story ofYellowstone’s Broken Rock Tribe.
