Yellowstone sequel series is confirmed with an original cast member returning

The official synopsis reads that he will combine "his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defence in the region".

It is the latest spin-off of the main series following 1883, 1923 and the upcoming The Madison, but will be the first to air on US network CBS, rather than Paramount Network or streaming service Paramount+.

It's not yet clear how UK viewers will be able to watch the series, but it's worth noting that several CBS shows are also made available on Paramount+, so this seems likely to be the case here.

Spencer Hudnut – known for his work on another CBS show, SEAL Team – will serve as showrunner for Y: Marshals, while Yellowstone supremo Taylor Sheridan is listed as an executive producer alongside David C Glasser.

As reported by Deadline, CBS president Amy Reisenbach said of the series: "Spencer Hudnut had run a broadcast show before. We do have a budget for that show that is in line with other broadcast series."

Another spin-off was also confirmed last December, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser set to reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler in a separate sequel series – so the Yellowstone universe is very much continuing to grow despite the main series wrapping up in 2024.
